' Boys Swim Team works hard to meet their goal The boys have a shot at being number one again this year but will face tough competition from Ampi and Catalina, said Coach Greg Farmer early in the year. To improve their chances for this goal, the swimmers practiced for an hour to an hour and a half in the morning and two and a half hours in the afternoon. In addition, they practiced with weights three times a week. Some of the most promising swimmers were john Mitchell, Derrick Sinclair, Darryl Eckes, Doug Janes, and Joe Barr. However, the team did not have as much depth as last year, according to Coach Farmer. Diving is a difficult skill to learn. Grace and coordination are essential to this type of event. Four divers returned from last years boys squad including Bart I-lust, Larry Burns, Carmine Tilghman and Todd Mendoza. Coach Farmer said Mike French also showed a lot of promise. For the girls, Tanya Zucha was the best prospect. The season started March 6 against a tough foe: Catalina. C -, The swimmers were on their way to another great season. 92 SPORTS M.

Girl swimmers make a big splash On March 6th, the girls swim team started their bid for their fourth straight undefeated season and divisional championship. Their biggest roadblock in the way of this goal was the squad from Sabino. Even though the team lost eight swimmers to graduation, the squad was still rich in talent. The relay consisted of Ellen Buvik, Connie Chapman, Sue Fredricks, and Sandi Menhennett and was rated thirteenth in the nation in 1980. ln addition, Ellen Buvik was twelfth in the nation in the backstroke in 1980, and Sandi Menhennett was the sixth fastest freshman in the 50 meter freestyle last year. Shawna Perkins and Stephanie Weaver also returned from last year. Promising new swimmers included Chris Perez, jennifer Perkins, and Tammy Adams. However, division titles are not won on the previous years performance so Coach Greg Farmer had the team practicing twice a day, once in the morning and once after school. Total practice amounted to about twenty hours a week. Coach Farmer expected a successful season, and no one could blame him. With the relay expected to be in the top six again and the abundance of other talent, the girls team was well on the way to meeting their goals. 94 SPORTS M.
