I ' M % Bruin distance swimmer Kevin McDougall eagerly awaits the appearance of his time and place on the scoreboard. Kevin swam the 200 and 500 freestyles. Senior Dave Fear reaches back for a little extra on his start in the 200 yard freestyle rela y. Fear also swam the 50 and 100 yard freestyles. Cindy Troyer takes off in the 50 yard back stroke. The Bruin girls were promised their own swim team in the 1980-81 season. Star diver Brad McConnell shows the form that placed him 8th in the state. McConnell has one more year to improve his placing. Individuals excel Swim team flounders Coach Brian Hay was disappoint- ed with the swimming team ' s record as a squad but was more than satis- fied with some of the individual per- formances. The team finished the season at 3-11. Bryan McDonald set three individ- ual records in addition to being a member of a record setting relay team. McDonald ' s records were in the 50, 100, and 200 yard freestyles. He teamed with Brent Tarter, John Faas, and Kevin McDougall to set a record in the 400 yard freestyle re- lay. Another outstanding performer was diver Brad McConell. McCon- nell missed the diving meet record of 272 held by Larry Witt when he scored 269. McConnell breezed through the sectional and eventual- ly placed 8th in the state. The annual Swim-a-thon raised over $900. The bulk of the money is to go to support a new girls swim team. The team finished 3rd in two six team relay meets held at Marion and Yorktown. The squad ' s wins came over Hamilton Southeastern and Bluffton. Anderson Highland was forced to forfeit to the Bruins.
