Swimmers Led By Seniors This year's varsity swim team followed the footsteps of swim teams past. Once again our team was led mainly by seniors. Outstanding performances were turned in by Brad Pickering in the breaststroke and freestyle. Kevin Turk in the back- stroke and freestyle, Victor Gallardo in the backstroke and butterfly, Ain Cocke in the freestyle, and Craig Piper in the freestyle and backstroke. The team also had some very strong underclassmen. Keith Sherry turned in excellent times in the backstroke, while Julio Gallud excelled in the distance freestyles and the butter- fly, and Robbie Hendrix did well in the freestyle, butterfly, and the breaststroke. With all of their great individual efforts the team still had troubles. Swim meets are won by a compiling of team points. The Vikings won many races but due to the lack of members, lanes were not filled, thus causing Blair to lose the meets. The Junior Varisty team had the same problems that our varsity had. While great preformances were turned in by Jon Bo- denshot. Wes Lake, Sean Boyd, Chris Moore. and Eric Oberholtzer, the team lost meets because of their lack of com- petitors. Coach Pat McCummins saw a lot of tal- ent in this year's junior varsity. She is hop- ing that these swimmers will again come out next year. She knows that if she can recruit more swimmers for next year we will have a very strong team, a team that will achieve many team victories as well as individual victories.

Poloist Excel With New Personnel The I983 Varsity Water Polo Team was plagued with not only the loss of last year's coach, but the loss of four out of last year's seven starters. Nonetheless, the team, under the direction of coach Brian Biery, fought its way to an awesome 5-2 league record. The season began rather slow as the Vikings lost two of three games in the Montebello Tournament. They then went to face four tough 4A schools. Defeat- ing a rough Arcadia team, but losing to P.H.S., Loyola, and high ranked Muir. They then entered the La Puente tour- nament. After Iosing the first game they showed their pride by coming back to win the next three. Thus, they were crowned consolation champions. The Vikings began league on the right foot, with victories over Monrovia and Burbank. They then faced South Pasadena for one of the closest matches of the sea- son. The game was tied until the final min- utes, when South Pasadena opened up with two quick goals. The Tigers went on to a I8-I5 win. The Vikings quickly put this loss behind them and defeated La Canada and Burroughs. The only other league loss was to the undefeated league champs, San Marino. With their impressive league re- cord the team assured itself a CIF play-off birth. This year the J.V. team and Frosh-Soph team were also under the direction of Bri- an Biery. The Frosh-Soph team was put together at the last minute to face those schools who also had a Frosh-Soph team. The J.V. team showed talent and flexibil- ity.
