With practices nearly every morning or afternoon the Varsity Boys Swimming team definitely dedicated themselves to their conditioning in the pool. Rigor- ous practices developed neces- sary endurance for a suc- cessful season. Pre- paring for their meets required a constant effort from everyone. Injuries affected various players, however the team pulled through and competed excellently. The guidance of team captain Ray Under- burg and spirit of athlete Mike Jacoway encouraged the team to unite and perform to the best of their ability. Shaded slightly by the Girls Varsity last year, they crushed their previous stigma and produced a fine name for themselves.

SWIMMI G Setting The Pace by Danielle Pagnini Water churning and splashing were the sounds that announced another swim meet. This year our Girls Varsity Swim team got off to a smashing start. As Shannon Griffin stated, Even though we all compete indi- vidually, we stay together as a team and cheer everyone on. This year's team con- sisted of returners and added two fresh- men to carry on the winning tradition. The team was stronger than ever. Sarie McFar- land said, 'There was a lot of depth to the team which adds strength in competition? With confident attitudes like these the girls had no problem de fending their CIF title from last year. Sarah Massengill noted that, Sure, we complain about the long hours spent on practicing before meets, but without the practices we wouldnit be as good as we are today. Beth Engstrom summed it up with, We're full of spirit! The Girlis Varsity Swim Team can proudly say that they have only lost one meet in the past two years. fr... . .. .i.... . iii ....i .t..
