benji • decoy • aboo We have a lot more quality swimmers than converted re- creational swimmers. -Coach Dickmann Underclassmen Dominate Team Youth and speed were expected to dominate all levels of the girls ' swimming teams. A majority of the varsity consisted of ninth and tenth graders including star freshman swimmers Kim Glasner and Stacy Litz, yet the few upperclassmen were still the leaders of the team. A foreign exchange student from Argentina, Camelia Rasquarelli was a prime swimmer and was expected to win a majority of her races. Improvements in specific events such as the butterfly, brcaststroke, and back stroke gave Dana Hills confidence and reassurance as they headed into their season determined to conquer top-ranked Mission Viejo. For Ms. Granger, new coach of the frosh soph team, the entire new team with very few returning players appeared auspicious during pre-league competition and anticipated repeating their success in league. With hopefuls such as Jennifer Talley, Tiffany Thompson, and Kate O ' Neill, Coach Granger also stressed the excellent quality of swimmers who would hopefully raise the placing from last season ' s fifth place to at least third. As usual. Mission Viejo was expected to be the hinderance in capturing the league title for frosh soph. However, such swimmers as Michelle Ray, Karin Curtis, and Melissa Marmoligo will make the season easier. Did either team topple Mission Viejo?
