A new swim Coach, Mr. Brian Templin, and a new diving coach, Mr. Chris Payer, were introduced to the system. It was really hard adjusting to begin with but the coaches really helped us out a lot, said co-captain Amy Wilcox. Due to the unusually high number of Injuries, the team had to pull together and make a mental adjustment. Despite the drawback Coach Templin was prositive about the season, feel that we accomplished the goals I had of the swim team this year. As Michelle Nemshak summed it up, We were really together, we worked hard and we had lots of fun. Placing in the CAC finals were Amy Wilcox with a sixth in both the IM and backstroke-, the medley relay team of Julie Farrell, Amy Wilcox, Kris Bratton and Kendra Smith placing fifth: and the free relay of Jenny VanDyke, Shawn Wright, Kris ten Foust and Michelle Nemshak with a seventh place. Diver Julie Farrell took first in the CAC and Regionals, and she finished out the season with a fourth in the State Meet.

Coach Shipman gives the team some last minute encouragement before its victory over Eaton Rapids. READY . SET . GO . . Diving off the blocks, Joel Service and Chris VanDyke stretch for that extra inch. The Holt Varsity Swim Team did a one of a kind thing. During the 1984-85 season, the mighty Rams used their talents to bring Coach Dave Shipman his best record in his 15 years of coaching. Lead by Captains senior Jon Russell, senior Todd Foust and junior Ed Wagner, the Boys ' Swim Team ended their season with a 9-1-1 record and a third place at CACs. Two people qualified for state competition. Wagner swam in two events while sophomore Dave May competed In diving. When asked about next years prospects Coach Shipman said. With only four graduating, next year we could finish second. East Lansing, who was eighth in Class A this year, has everyone back next year and will be great competition.
