178 Swimming Swimming STFITE CHFIMPS The Mens' Swim Team won the State Championship under the direction of Coach Mike Haas and Coach jim Martin. Pensacola was on the map again in high school sports. An article in the Orlando Sentinel referred to the Pensacola team as the team from nowhere. Coach Haas remarked, This was the biggest feat ever in high school swimming. The sport of swimming on the state level was usually the crown of South Florida teams. Never had a Panhandle team, like Pensacola, ever won the State Title. The Wildcats had a dream to bring the title home to Pensacola. Leaving on an early Friday morning, the young team headed for Orlando ten hours down the road. Arriving for warm-up, the team seemed unsure when seeing the size of the central Florida teams both in number and physical size. The moment of truth began with the opening ceremonies . . . The No Where team from Pen- sacola early fell five and six points behind. A cou- ple of key swims brought the team back in striking distance of the title. The 'Cats knew that everything was super close and that their coaches had them just a little ahead. But, could a mistake have been made in all the excitement? The official stepped to the microphone and said, Ladies and Gentlemen, Second Place goes to Lyman. The of- ficial waits for silence and begins again, The Champions ofthe 4-A Swimming Teams are the Washington Wildcats of Pensacola! Coach Haas remarked, Teamwork was the key to the phenomenal success of Wildcat swimming. We began a tradition, today. -7 l , if . f :Sf ' if Medley swimmers jason Nettles, Daniel Waters, Alan Famigia, and jon Hemming show their State-bound attitudes, ' ife in the Fast Lane
