Boys' by Larice Duran U1 . . . . . . . . 71C Sw1mm1ng is more than Just a sport, it is an obsession. You work on it everyday and you're always looking forward to the next meet, commented Sr. Jack Wojewski. Teamwork was the most essential part to achieving success at every meet, either personal or for the school. Despite a disap- pointing loss to Smoky Hill early in the season, optimism for the future remained high. With practices both in the morning at about 6:00 a.m., and in the afternoon until 5:30 or 6:00 p.m., no one could accuse these men of not working their hardest. Diving was also an essential part of the team. With a few selected athletes, the diving team was destined for greatness. We worked so hard to be the best that we could possibly be. We got back whatever we put in. If we only gave 5021 at meets or at practices, we didnit expect to get any first places. That's a plain and simple fact, stated Sr. Michael Castelblanco. Each diver took turns in a rotation which consisted of six dives per meet with a wide variety of difficulty levels. Several times a year, as well as at state competition, divers performed eleven dives. Though they may not have taken state, this team did not lack def termination or courage of spirit. Wojewski said it best, You're never good enough. There is always one more record to be broken or just 5! 10ths of a second more to shave off of your time or half a point better on a dive. 9i3 Swimming relays in afternoon practice is Jr. Jonathan Bowman.
