Have you ever tried to get up at 5:30 in the morning, get to school by 6:00, and lift weights, do hundreds of sit-ups, jump in a pool and swim thousands of yards all before school. it's not easy, believe me. Followed by morning workout and school, was a three-hour afternoon wor- kout. This was what the Varsity Swim Team went through every day of the season. This hard work, intense training, determination, and brilliant coaching was what made E1 Doradrfs swimmers. Coached by Tom Milich, the Hawks have won the 3-A C.l.F. Swimming Championship for the past three years straight, and went for their fourth. Four Swimming Championships com- bined with the Hawks three straight victories in 3-A C.l.F. Water Polo meant that the Hawks would set a new C,l.F, in seven straight C.i.F. Aquatic Championships. Along with their press tigious C.l,F. victories, the Hawks have not lost a dual swim meet in five years. According to Coach Milich, key swimmers for the Hawks this year were: seniors, Mark Jor- dan, Steve Kidder, and Steve Goff, and juniors, Snow Bell and Scott Fairchild, and freshmen, Kyle Utsumi, Greg Milton, and Larry Felix. When asked what he thought about this year's team, coach Milich replied, 'l'hey're all a great bunch of hardworking guys. I think with a lot of hardwork and intensity, they can bring home another C.l.F. championship. uv ri! 3' 5' The 1988 Boys Varsity Swim Team, top row left to right, Brent Lantz, Mark Jor- dan, Scott Fairchild, Nigel Funge, Snow Bell, Matt Maclear, Dan Seaton, Scott Stow, Jeff Paulson, middle row, Larry Fe- lix, Kyle Utsumi, Greg Milton, Greg Bus- by, Jeff Sekido, bottom row Steve Goff, Jim Leonard, Eric Braun - tSteve Kidder Not Picturedj Junior Snow Bell explodes oil' the blocks at the start of the 50 yard Free style.

The start of any race can be the key in winning, so a good start is important. Freshman Chris Chiechi gets a good push off of the wall in a hard turn in the 50 yard Backstroke. A good turn is very important, many races have been won or lost de- pending on the outcome of the flip-turn. Freshman Kragen Orr pushes his arms quickly through the water at the finish of his 50 yard Backstroke. As in any racing event or sport, the finish is the most impor- tant aspect of the race. Freshman Dolan Mayeda concentrates on his start for the 50 yard Breaststroke. Besides being a swimmer and water polo player, Dolan is also a key member on the wrestling team.
