KWJEM 'UFJKMQXM MAKES UCB- SPEASJBT EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE P.G. County does not recognize swim- ming as a sport. In spite of this handicap, Friendly's swim team, coached by Phil Walsh, has done an admirable iob this year. The team participated in the Metro com- petition along with fifty other area schools. Kitty Callaghan took third in the back- stroke and fifth in freestyle. Ken Abbott, Jon McGowan, Bill Elliot, and Steve Cos- sidy took eleventh in the Medley Relay. Scott Gray took eleventh place in diving. Since this was their only maior competi- tion, the results were quite impressive. Their other meets were set up by Mr. Walsh to give the team a taste of competi- tion. Mr. Walsh feels that P.G. County has ignored swimming long enough and that it is time swimmers get the recognition they deserve. N . .- 2 -- , 3,9 Y A 44333 4 Q -' 't ,.ii?l'..- .. .
