Seniors John Hartman, Jim Julich, Dale Tomasch, and Rob Coleman concluded their third year of swimming for Lakes. Through the fine coaching of Mr. Stauffer, these boys were able to attain top spots in the State Championships. The 400 yard Free Style Relay team, consisting of Frank Burton, Terry Julich, John Hartman, and Dale Tomasch set a new state record of 3:269, breaking the old record of 3:27.8, but was only able to take 4th place in the competition.

Coleman, who meant the difference of ten points, was unable to swim in the last four meets. Rob began retraining only 4 days prior to the State Meet and was able to place 8th in the 100 yard Butterfly. john Hartman concluded his third year for Lakes with an 11th . place finish in the 100 yard Back-stroke: Breast-stroker Jim julich, also a graduating Senior, swan well for three years, but was unable to obtain state qualifying timethis year.
