Swimmers fulfill goals We fulfilled our goals and scored at state for the first time in ten years, stated Coach Watson when asked about the per- formance of the girl's swim team this year. The 35 member team captured their fourth Wesco and sec- ond consecutive Regional crowns and in addition broke all previous school swimming records with the exception of the backstroke and breaststroke. To conclude the season their 400 yard freestyle relay placed tenth in the state. At the beginning of the season it seemed that the team would have some difficulty in attaining their goals, primarily due to the lack of girls turning out. As the year progressed, however, the girls displayed a tremendous amount of ability and overcame their lack of members. We worked hard and the quality proved to be much better compared to other years when we had a lot of depth but little quality, said Coach Wat- son. The girls' work included swimming an average of 9,000 yards daily. Though the team will be losing five lettermen this year at graduation, twenty of their outstanding underclassmen will be returning. Coach Watson, who has had over 200 swimming wins at Mariner, believes the girls will have their work cut out for them next year when three schools from the Shoreline dis- trict tone of which placed fourth at statej join the Western Conference. When asked about it he replied, lt should prove to be a pretty interesting season. THIS PAGE Top right, Girls shout to fellow team member. Bottom right, Swimmers begin another race.

Tennis Sets Their Goals Trying their hardest and developing skills beyond winning were the major goals for this year's 1978-79 Girls' Tennis Team. The girls finished the season with a 2-8 record. Most of the matches were very close. The team was led by a group of strong experienced, senior girls, such as Captain and four year letterwoman julie Carlson, Pam Soma, Maureen Hansen, and Mary Ostolaza. Coach Peightel felt they were the heart of the team and losing them may put pressure on underclassmen in years to come. But he feels that with their attitude and determination they can come back with a winning season, knowing it takes more than skill to be a winner. THIS PAGE: Bottom Left-Tracie Burgess eyes her shot.
