Aquatics make waves As the sun rose over the horizon, swim managers ambled into the pool area to take covers off the pool. Steam bellowed from the top of the crystal- clear water, and swimmers jumped into the pool hoping the morning's workout wouldn't be too painstaking. Ten 100's on 1:4O,, screamed coach Brent Bohlender. As practice drew to an end, swimmers ran to locker rooms to prepare for school. What laid ahead of them? Why, another practice at 2:1O! Such was a day in the lives of Davis High swimmers. For divers practice generated a different sensation: that of falling. During practice these daredevils hurled themselves off the low and high dives attempting to perfect that back flip or one and one half dive. Unfortunately, every dive was not perfect and some ended up in a painful bellyflop. Turlock and Merced posed definite threats for both the swimmers and divers. Those expected to do well were Iim Sprott, Eric Sharar, Mike Niemi, Eric Corgiat, Amy Halley, Dawn Pratt and Leah Goldman. Chris Craft, Eric Dixon, jennifer Lowe, Cami Cause and Iulie Guthrie were predicted to execute great dives for Davis aquatics. - Licia Pope
