Boys' Swimming Under the direction of head coach Bob Dixon and his assistant coach Todd Pasky, the Central Boys' Swim Team, led by twelve returning Iettermen, expe- rienced a satisfying season. In post-sea- son events, the Central performance was a little less spectacular. In Braveland Conference action, Cen- tral lost only one dual meet, that loss coming from Brookfield East, the team that later captured third in the WIAA State Meet. At the Braveland Confer- ence meet, the Lancer swimmers placed third as a team behind Brookfield East and Nicolet. The team also captured third at the sectional meet. Junior Chris Neu led the team with firsts at both meets in the 500 yard free, a second in the 200 free at Conference, and a third .zgt in the 200 free at Sectionals. Held at Madison, the WIAA State Meet saw its share of Brookfield Central with five qualifiers, Chris Neu in the 500 yard free, Ed Luterbach in diving, and Paul Regele, Bill Croft, Scott Wrenn, and Craig Consigny in the 200 yard Medley Relay. Central failed to qualify any swimmers for the finals, but Chris Neu led the consolation heat with a sev- enth place. Senior Ed Luterbach com- ments, l think that state was a very good experience, but the most fun of the season was the opportunity to beat your own record each meet. Probably the highlight of the season came with the Schroeder Invitational, where Central had the opportunity to compete with several of the state's top swim teams. Overall, the team toc fourth place behind Madison Wes Madison Memorial, and Brookfield Eas Six swimmers will be lost to graduz tion this year, but next season should t successful nevertheless. Junior Chr Neu remarks, The season was vel successful and the team should be jul as good next year with a lot of work. My Af the outset of the 100 yard butterfly, Central swlr mers push off the starting blocks with as much force they can to begin the race with a comfortable lead. T start is a very important part of the race in a spring, givi the more adept starter a distinct advantage over tl slower swimmer. i2j Pushing towards the finish, senl Mike Bindl attempts to pass an opponent in lane flve the medley relay. t3y Peaking at the top of his dive, a Ce tral team member begins to flip ln his reverse one anc half during the meet against Brookfield East. East ca tured the meet between the cross-town rivals easily, wl ning every event except one. 62 f Boys' Swimming 5-

Cinl Swimmiivq YouNq TEAM lAces FifTl1 T STATE Completing the 1980 season with an exceptional 8-0 record, the Varsity Girl's Swim Team once again proved their great ability, trouncing all their conference oppo- nents, and dominating Braveland Swim- ming. The team was really good. The com- petitive atmosphere of the team helped to motivate everyone into performing at her best, explained Junior Jeanne Adelmann. The Braveland Conference Meet was an easy victory for the Lancers. In the process of snagging the conference championship, seven swimmers qualified for the State Meet. At State, Sally Olson, Alison Ring, Jamie Ring, and Jackie Hibbard competed in the 400 yard Freestyle Relay: Jamie Ring, Cathy Consigny, Patty Busby, and Chris Shields swam the 200 Medley Relay, in indi- vidual events, Alison Ring swam the 200 Freestyleg and Cathy Consigny swam 200 Individual Medley. Although none placed, the meet provided valuable experience for next year. We did as well as was expected. Winning Conference and placing in the top five at State were our major goals, and both of those happened. Next year's team looks great: this year's team was so young, com- ments Senior Chris Shields. Historically, the Lancer Swim Team has always been fortu- nate enough to have a bumper crop of young swimmers willing to work hard to bring out their natural talent. The coaches were an important factor in keeping the team together. Recalls Kathy O'Keefe, They gave the team spirit. Varsity Coach Bob Dixon and Junior Varsity Coach Kathy Drueke helped the girls work as a team rather than as individuals. Providing a backbone for future teams, the Sophomores seemed to be the basis of this year's team. Junior Karen Elwell agrees: We had several very strong team members of all ages this season, but the Sophomores seemed to be strongest. With that much strength though, the 1982 team should be dominating. With Brookfield Central's win- ning tradition, the excellent Sophomores maturing, the rigorous training schedule, and the spirit of confidence, the 1981 Girl's Swim Team should be a champion, both in the Braveland Conference and in the State. 111 inhaling deeply, freshman swimmer Patty Busby presses hard to finish the breast stroke portion ol the individual medley, an event which requires the swimmer to be adept at all four competitive strokes. Q21 Gliding towards the wall for her first flip turn in the 100 yard backstroke, Sheila Lavin pushes with all her strength. 131 Pushing hard and breathing close to the water, senior Chris Shields begins her 200 yard individual medley. l 1980 Girls' Varsity Swimming - Matt: Katy Oliver, Lisa Glenn, Karen Post. t2ndy: Coach Dixon, Chris Hallet, Nancy Roth, Corina Kahler, Cathy Cosigny, Patty Busby, Coach Druecke. t3rd1: Karolyn Cummings, Sally Olsen, Jamie Ring, Chris Shields, Amy McCool, Alene Czeszynski.
