I: Girls Swim Outside The Dots by Kevin Mylod [would be a fool if I said I did not enjoy coaching a team with such depth, spirit and team unity as this one, admitted Head Coach Dennis Carter. And these three outstanding qualities were the reason why the Maples swam to an 11-1 record, an S.M.A. champion- ship title, and fifth place at the State meet. The Maples retained leadership, strength, and experience with the return of 3 Ail-American seniors: Jackie Moss, Sarah Hoisington, and Martha Williams and junior Ail-American Lauren Schoen- herr. Also, a talented cast of freshmen proved to be the difference throughout the season. They would win events for us by getting the second and third place finishes, explained Moss. Along with depth there was a strong bond between these swimmers that grew as the season went on. Unity, support for each other, and togetherness were many ways they expressed it. And Dennis Carter, along with new Assistant Coach Steve Alessan- dri, were confident that with these qualities they could beat Andover, whom the Maples had never before defeated. Seaholm demolished the Barons, 106- A relieved Jackie Moss easily wins another 500 freestyle as her teammate Sarah Hoisington excitedly congratu- lates her for qualifying in another event for the State Championships- photo bv Boh Mau The entire swim team slaps, claps, and chants.

The season was also highlighted with a 2-point come- from-behind victory against Groves. Their only loss was to Ann Arbor Pioneer, the number one ranked team in the state. But unity was only a small factor in Seaholm ' s outstanding season. With hours upon hours of hard training and Mike Zinn ' s mental program, Attitudes for Action, the Maples were mentally and physically prepared to swim out- side the dots, their team motto. With this solid training Seaholm won S.M.A. ' s by over 80 points, taking 3 individual events and the 400 free relay. Eleven swimmers qualified for States — a school record — and many swam to top-ten finishes including co-captains Moss, Hoisington and Williams. Danielle Tallerom, Schoenherr and the 400 free relay also made the top ten. Stacey Galla, Christa Benjamin, Jessica Brunet, Keri Kovach, Kelly Kolodziej, and Liz Schultz also qualified for States. With these fine efforts, Seaholm swam outside the dots with an awesome fifth place ranking in the state.
