r 1 fish uta' I can't swim that far. lt isn't even 7 a.m. yet. Why do we have to be awake so early? Yoiu're going to swim at least a couple of miles this morning and two or three more tonight! These comments, commonly heard at 6:45 a.m. practices may give the wrong impression about the Bozeman Swim Team. Despite the grumbling they did make it through the season - and had lots of fun along the way. The boys, with only eight members, scored high throughout the season and the girls remained undefeated up until the state meet held in Havre, where both teams placed fourth out of the 14 teams participating. The girls results showed Mary Lap- eyre placing third in the 200-yard individual medley and sixth in the 100-yard backstroke. Kema Soderberg came in fourth and janet Bailey was sixth in the diving. lan Heimburg received third place in the 100-yard butterfly, Emily Lapeyre third in the 500yard freestyle and Deena Degnan sixth in the 100-yard breastroke. The girls also took fourth in the 200-yard medley relay and the 400-yard free- style relay. Diving Team: Clark Kelly, Janet Bailey, Kema Soderberg and jeff Powers. Executing a pike dive, janet Bailey is scored high. State champion Dave Smith swims the first part of his 200-yard individual medley in the state meet. 122fSwimming What's it like being No. One? 'For the second consecutive year, Anne Burroughs took first in the state meet. Water The boys did well, placing Brian Starford fourth in the 500-yard free- style and fifth in the 200-yard free- style. Dave Smith came in third in the 100-yard freestyle, with Clark Kelly placing fourth in the diving. Like the girl's team, the guys also took fourth in the 200-yard medley relay. After swimming hundreds of laps, going through school all day smelling like chlorine and enduring the long bus rides, you probably wonder why the swimmers do it, but. . .winning makes it worth it!

124f: Makin' rat: They may not make Wheaties com- mercials but the track team sure did work long and hard this year - well hard enough to take first place in their division. It was a combination of tough workouts a good coach and of course the fine athletic abilities of the team that earned them a first place in divisionals. The Hawk track team hasn t been tops in their division since they were ranked as a Class A school. Before track practice started last winter the talk from the soon-to-be- tracksters was a little less than optimistic. Yeah l had him in football and I think he s gonna be a real hard core. The team found out soon enough that Coach J im Polich believes in hard work and a winning team. The team got in a little extra running practice this year. Since the high school doesn t have a track they had to run about a mile to the MSU track and THEN they got to start their workout. Sounds fun huh? Getting into shape isn t the only they that makes a winning team. Talent has a lot to do with it - it does in any sport. This year the track team definitely had a talent. There s even a chance that next year s team will be able to keep up the good name. 0 ' I I I I I I ls the new coach gonna be tough?
