We lost one dual meet this year, but we were competing with better teams. l think we broke around 100 records. We broke seven of eleven metropolitan records in the season. and three metro records downstate. Illinois is one ofthe best swimming states. Considering that it's really great that we placed 7th of 63 teams downstate and Chip placed first. CTer- ry Youngb LEFT: Terry Young enjoys himself as he goes for a back- stroke victory.

I F I I I I 'lim 2 . The team did real well this year, but I wasn't satisfied with my own performance. I didn't do what I wanted to do -that is go fast- er. l'II have to do better next year, and I feel that I can. I broke some records this year, but I still don't feel that I did my best. CBrian Linderothb This year was really great, but I think next year will be better yet. We've got strong juniors now who will be even stronger and better next year. There are also a couple of excellent swimmers coming from Eisenhower who can already beat some of our times. CChuck Holmstromb I was really glad the way the team came through downstate. There was some brilliant swimming that was great to watch and great to participate in. I did a lot better than I ex- pected. I was seeded 27th and finished 11th. I was disappointed with my time, but I can't complain about my placing. CBruce Bogenb I felt I could win the title, but I was nerv- ous. I hit 467 points early in the season, but never got any closer. l'd wanted 500 all year, so 509.95 really pleased me. The champion- ship means a lot to me because I don't think anybody outside of Chicago has won it in years. CChip Geigerj 'X Q? I 'll
