Swimmers finish highest ever Coached by Mr. Patrick Connell and Mr. Ralph Navarro, the Raider swim team placed fifth in the state meet. This accomplishment was the best a Rummel team has ever done in this sport. The team posted a 4-3 season then went on to place fourth in the city championship. Next was the state meet. Bill Johnson set a state record in the 50 yard freestyle with a time of 122.52 and Bryan Fritscher placed second in the breaststroke. The outlook for next year should be good with only three swimmers being graduated.
