Ni-I TI A DITION STILL SWIMS ON Those sleek seals of speedo speed have done it again as Newport Har- bor's Varsity swim team shot through the water to within 0.02 seconds of the pre-season CIF relay champions and won fourth place CIF laurels at the end of the season, Epitomizing this year's aquatic ex- cellence was the All-American 400 freestyle relay powered by Greg Fults, jeff Stevens, Tony Meyers, and jeff Demott. In CIF, only the performance of two world-class swimmers kept All- American john Dobrott from cap- turing the CIF title in the 200 free- style. The medley relay of john Do- brott, George Newland, Kevin Rob- ertson, and jeff Demott blitzed CIF, but the team's hunger for the lime- light doesn't stop there, for also streaking to televised CIF finalists' spots were seniors Keith Robinson 1100 breastj, and Ted McGinley 1500 freestylej, juniors Kevin Robertson 1200 indo, 'I00 flyj, Mike Vellenkemp 1500 freej and jeff Stevens 150 freej. Continuing in its own tradition of success, Newport's swim teams yawned through the League at all levels, though it must be admitted that Varsity swimmer Bob Owsley helped the jV team by condescend- ing to play Mark Spitz and grab the jV medals at the league champion- ships meet.
