A MEETing with s ccess Six o'clock in the morning, sleepy eyes, tired limbs, striv- ing to finish that last grueling lap a Lamar swimmer finally comes out of the pool. Hard work and long hours were familiar to all the swim- mers. We were doing 8,000 yards a day in the morning, but it only benefitted us, said Junior Jason King. Most swimmers didn't seem to mind the training as much when their efforts started paying off. The boys had an undefeated season and also won their dual meet against Plano. The meet was very exciting for all the swim- mers. The atmosphere was very tense as the points came down to the last relay, said Senior Katy Fidler. The team also had a great showing at the district cham- pionship at Trinity. Katy along with Senior Kyle DeBlonk, served as the captains of the 1987-88 team. They both were strong assets to the team as well as Senior Lance Ford, Juniors Jason N. J.. W ff . ., . 1, .- l-.f s M, lr Mafia . -, .

You really get to know everyone on the team because we spend so much time to- gether. Weire friends for life, said Kyle.
