Back to umbet 1 The swim team got off to a slow start this year, but made a great comeback with hard work and determination. They lost their meet against Sammamish High School, which was disappointing because it was the first dual meet the swim team had ever lost. Jack Ridley, the coach, said, I think we would have beaten Sammamish if we would have swam them later in the season. This was the first year coaching the Knights for Coach Ridley. He had previously coached Olympic swimmer and NHS graduate Jo Harsh- barger. The team worked hard to qualify everyone for the State meet, due to the loss last year by three points. Nine swimmers and four divers from the team qualified. Some of the outstanding achievements at the State meet included Evi Kosenkranius's national high school record in the five-hundred yard free style, and a victory in the two-hundred yard free style. Janie Smith also won the two-hundred yard individual medley at the State meet. l. National record holder Evi Kosenkranius and Laurie Barker, both sophomores this year, rest for a moment in the pool. 2.
