Cheryl Cartin coach, described the GMI-IS team as being incredibly ner- vous and WRI-IS as having the com- posure and championship qualityn to win, Where we lost the meet was in the morning prelims. We out swam Wheat Ridge that night performance wise, and we drowned them in invitation- als! Cartin pointed out. Cherry Creek and Arapahoe High Schools were the only two schools to triumph over GMHS in the duel meets, and the final was 9-12. The league record was 5-0. They also had a total of ten girls to qualify for the state competition, quite a bit more than nor- mal tor GMHS. Next year they have two state divers and five state swimmers return- ing, as well as picking up three other strong swimmers. This should strengthen the team as they are only losing one exceptional swimmer.
