Photo by S. Lackey First for Divers; No Big Splash It was the first time an Elsik diver did not qualify for regionals, replied Coach Bob Leiber about his least mem- orable experience of the season. The team not living up to their past record is not due to a change in teaching technique ora lossof talent in divers. But the loss of five divers (two of which were district ranked as 2nd and 5th) reduced the team down to three members: Junior Art Waggoner, Senior Doug Halstead, and Freshman Caryl Morris. Finishing 6th in district, Doug Halstead set one school record in the Six-and-Eleven 1 Meter Diving Event. The other divers. Art Waggoner and Caryl Morris ended the season with district standings of 11th and 13th places. By L. Baroski Regional individual qualifier for the 50 yard and 100 yard freestyle.
