Tankers set five records New school records in five events high- lighted the 1979 swim team season, as the Bruin tankers finished 10-7 in their dual meets. Record times were set by Bryan Mc- Donald in the 50-yard freestyle (23.69) and 100-yard freestyle (52.75); Mark Lewellen in the 100-yard butterfly (1:00.4); Brent Tarter in the 500-yard freestyle (5:24.0); and John Faas, Lewel- len, McDonald, and Tarter in the 400-yard free relay. Regular season victories for the Bruin watermen came against South Adams, Anderson Highland, Eastern, Manchester, Hamilton Southeastern, Huntington North, Muncie South, Bluffton, Delta, and Madison Heights. Diver Brad McConnell was undefeated (17-0) during the regular season; but at sectional, a technicality on one of his dives prohibited the sophomore from competing at the state meet. Coach Brian Hay said the season was definitely successful, pointing to the team ' s best dual meet record ever, a fourth-place sectional finish and the new school records which were set. Coach Hay also mentioned stagnating times during the last third of the season were caused by a BHS pool problem which limited prac- tice time. Determined Bryan McDonald springs from the start- ing blocks on his nay to one of his frequent nctories. The junior sprinter set two new school records. Demonstrating leadership through example, co-cap- tain Mark Lewellen nears the finish of bis recoiri setting performance in the 100 yard butterfly. Swimmina 163
