iiimHtti The ' Finest ' Expect The Best The 1987 varsity swim team dove into the season knowing they had a good chance at first or second in league. Opposing teams, including the toughest competition, Mission Vie|o, had to he prepared to face a team with both experience and a fervent desire to succeed. Coach Mil uhcs took pride in stating that all his outstanding varsity swimmers did all strokes well. These Iron Men of the natorium were Steve Rosenthal, Hans Devouassoux, Jetf Kuykendall, Warren Bloomberg, and Andy Fujimoto. Confident Mikulics went so far as to say, This is the finest boys ' varsity swim team in the history of Dana Hills and one of the finest in the state of California. We will endeavor to bring home the gold. Their lack of depth was the team ' s only weakness. We have a chance of taking league from Mission Viejo and Irvine. -John Peilegrino ■ ' % The frosh soph swimmers, on the other hand, shone in terms of depth. This group, led by Coach Smith, had the talent that could huild excellent varsity teams in the future. The fact that they had a really good shot at league did not keep these speedy Dolphins from carrying out rigorous workouts that would insure a fine season. These included morning workouts, seven to nine thousand yards ot laps in the pool (250-350 laps) each day, lifting weights, and running a total of three to tour hours a day. The more prestigious athletes ot the group were Mike Bcrnholtz (free style 200 and backstroke), Kevin Loebe (freestyle), Tim Kuykendall (butterfly and freestyle), and David Simms (butterfly. IM). The third level, the J.V. team, served as a stepping stone to the higher teams. Coach Chandler would often have players on the team for a few days, to have them stripped from his squad and sent on to bigger and better things. Unlike most teams the J.V. swim team was co-ed. Coach Chandler noted, I expect the team to work as hard as possible to win J.V. League Championship. To see whether these teams met their coaches ' lofty expectations, consult the Spring Supplement. hey mikee, he like ' s it 5a;t a )o t n
