Year for Shattering Records! ' ty i Row 1 — Angie Cummings, Angela Guerra, Brian Vanslyke, Rick England, Matt Stanfield, Greg Hacker.

Row 3 — Craig Emmert, Tom Avery, Coach Pete Molby, Coach Greg White, Rodrigo Badin, Leroy Williams, Scott Purdue, Jeff Wycoff, Jason Hilarides, Ken Nines. Scott Purdue swims the 500 freestyle, finishing with his best time ever (5.50.08). Scott is also a four-time letter winner and has earned the citizenship award for the past three years. The 1987-88 Men ' s Swimming team finished the season with 6 wins and 9 losses. This has been the best season since 1983. The season showed a slow steady improvement, although the record doesn ' t show it because of the tough competition. This was a year of breaking records. Over 50% of the team broke personal best records. Tom Avery broke the school record for the 50 yard freestyle, held by Bruce Young since 1974 at 23.0 seconds. Avery beat that with a 22.91 at sectional preliminaries. This year has been a good one for the swimming team, Coach Molby adds. With some work on filling in the weak spots, next year can be even better!

Aqua Hawks Float to the Top Although their record of 6-10 doesn ' t show it, every girl improved over her best times from the previous year. The team was very short on numbers, es- pecially since two key swimmers moved, but it will have a strong nucleus for next season.

The Most Valuable Swimmer Award went to Junior Heather Berwick. Soph- omore Marya Miller received the Cit- izenship Award. I was really surprised, Marya said. There were a lot of people who deserved it. Coach T. J. Whitfield thinks next year looks very favorable. I look for more girls out for the team,- there will be a strong senior class and a large group of freshmen. I hope to have the second winning season in the school history and an individual Sectional, Conference and County Champ. 86 Women ' s Swimming

This year both the Varsity and the Junior Varsity Women ' s Basketball teams worked hard and hod many personal successes. The varsity team finished its season with 10 wins and 9 losses. The overall season was up and down. The Junior Varsity team finished its season with 1 win and 17 losses, with a season of steady improvement from game to game. What the scores don ' t show is the support that was given to team members by the team, and the family bond and love that hos formed among team- mates. I feel that at the end of the season we had come together as a family, which helped us to work harder and play better as a team, stated Kris Thomas. Varsity Coach Pentzer add- ed, Their ability to pull themselves back up and support each other is one of their strongest points. Junior varsity coach Kuper stated, I feel that if this group of athletes keeps working, they will be very competitive as juniors and Row 1 — Janet Miller, Kris Thomas, Tracy Rholman.
