Neptune's Scarlet Fliers passed a mile- stone as they made it to the semi-finals. Outstanding players like Wendell Mul- drow and John Barone led the team to its final record of 12-6-2. The first game of the season in the Wall Festival played against St. Rose resulted in one of the team's two tie games of the season, While several players felt this was the season's toughest game, others felt that C.B.A., who handed them a 3-1 loss, dealt the strongest blow to the team's efforts.

While getting to the semi-finals was a goal in itself, disappointment at not win- ning the title was hard for the team to accept. Goalie Dave Durkac noted, My biggest disappointment of this season had to be the fact that we didn't win anything, even though we had the skill . .

Those same skills did, however, keep the team going and allowed them to rise to the level of the competition. Some players felt that the toughest game of the season was played against East Brunswick during the semi-finals. The Pliers, defeated by a narrow 1-O mar- gin, played hard in spite of the intense pressure. All in all, it was a fairly good season with lots of support coming from coach- es, friends and family.

The Nieptune Aquafliers experienced a Challenging season led by captains Kim Baker, Stacb' C1356 Steve Wycoff and Horng Yang. Many new swimmers came out and lent their spirit and talent to a team that worked hard towards its goals. Neptune hosted the Monmouth County Championships this year at the Mon- mouth Boys Club where the boys team took third place. Neptune's divers, in- cluding Colleen Coyne, Kathy Flesca, Tammy Dalziel, Scott Wells, Jim Gior- ella, Pat Grodeska and Richard Hogan, ,5 ' In The Swim had a successful season. The 400 free style relay team took fifth in the Shore Conference. The Aquafliers' practices consisted of hypoxic work, funderwater swimming and breathing drillsj distance work, sprints, cross-pools, and specialties. Ev- ery practice was different but all work- outs conditioned the swimmers' bodies to perform faster and better. ln addition to regular exercises, water polo was occa- sionally played to build up upper body strength and leg strength. Many team members swam outside of the team, helping to improve their times. Morale was high, especially since Coa- ch Mooij was always there to encourage the team. Pranks, too, were common. In fact, Neptune's success at the Shore Con- ference was due in no small part to a hair razing party the night before the meet. The team got together, and the girls shaved the hair from the legs and arms of the guys in hopes of reducing water resistance and reducing the relayers' times! . fy f, f ff, in i , ' AWN t i c c c we .,..r ,. 5 .5 ,M .,,., . , . 8 , , e at J ,- -.C -, ' '.1-, -f,r - wa. f.X . .' 15 -'.' .I ' I 5: iff ,.., :y.1J1 4 1?
