SWIMMING STROKES THROUGH SEASON With such outstanding swimmers as Tara Shima, Dina Ross, Julie Davis, and Susan Edich, Coach Scott Smith predicted a finish of third place in league, which, if it becomes reality, will be their best finish ever. This would be a tremendous feat, considering that the team is extremely young, with only three seniors out of nineteen swimmers. This fact paradoxically is both the strength and weakness of the girls ' varsity swim team; al- though the new members showed depth, deter- mination and potential, they were inexperienced regarding the level of league competition, espe- cially from Mission Viejo and Capo. Enthusiasm and inexperience were two traits especially prevalent in younger athletic teams, and the girls ' frosh soph swimming team was no exception. Returning members Erin Thomas, Jennifer Davis, and Shelby Reynolds, along with exceptional swimmers Jennifer Siegal and Alyssa Stephens, will hopefully place this team in third or fourth place in league, according to Coach Grange. Stiff competition from the Diablos and Cougars were expected to chal- lenge the Dolphins. For the full story and scores of the season, consutlt the Spring Supplement, -f.l. 1.
