Qualit and quantit required Early morning and afternoon practices produced a dedicated team. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays were distance days when swimmers worked on quantity with endurance swimming. On Tuesdays and Thursdays they were more concerned with quality. Pete Payne was the head coach of all six district schools and had three assistant coaches who worked at individual schools. Payne spent more time with the Mustangs than the other teams because of his previous coaching at Memorial. Payne had coached swimming for 16 years and a State Champion team 10 years in a row. A love-hate relationship is evident in any sport and it was definitely shown by both teams. At the 5:30 a.m. practices there was a tendency to immensely dislike the coach when he ordered the team to swim another 500 yards. But out of the dislike came the love experienced when an individual or a relay team placed in the top three standings at the State Meet. Both teams felt that Coach Payne was more optimistic this year which put a better light on the practices and meets, adding a little humor to the hard work that eventually paid off.
