Ma .S A ng up for a breath of air, Senior john Bolte tries to out swim an opponent in the breast stroke competition Swimmers finish third in league, new records set Continuing their tradition as the dominant force in the City League, the Northwest men's swim team finished the year with another winning season. Due to default in the diving competi- tion, when both Northwest divers became ill, the team finished in third place in the City League, behind North and Southeast. At the State Meet in Topeka, Nor- thwest demonstrated its potency by claiming 12th place in the competition' However, City League front-runners, North and Southeast, finished in the 20th and 21st spots. In the State Meet junior David Holmes earned second-place medals in the 200-yard freestyle and the 100-yard backstroke. Senior Andy Wilcox finished 22nd in the 200-yard individual medley and 8th in the l00-yard bteatstroke at State. Sophomore Darin Pote finished 17th in the 100-yard backstroke andjunior Steve Thomas came in 29th in the 100-yard butterfly competition. During the season, Holmes broke both school and league records in the 100 yd. freestyle. The new school record of 48.23 replaces the previous 50.54 time by james Proffitt in 1982-83. The new City League record was set at 48.23 which topped Southeast's Brad Wells 1979 time of 48.9. In City League dual meets Northwest ended the season with three wins over East, Heights and South, and suffered only two losses to North and Southeast. Northwest also had an impressive record in Triangular meets, winning the first, at Northwest, against Newton and East, and the second over Campus and Great Bend in the Colt pool. In the City Meet the Grizzlies finished in second place behind North by a loss of 10 points. Finishing after Northwest were Southeast, East, Heights and South. Led by junior David Holmes, Senior Andy Wilcox, and Sophomore Darin Pore, the team balance was evident, as the swim team won the three invita- tionals in which scores were kept. The Grizzlies also placed sixth out of 18 teams at the Tournament of Champions also held in Topeka. -Chris Kobler Elaiibg r Sibley
