Things To Do - Sports The boys’ swim team had a fast start with a record of 3- 0, defeating Plymouth, Menasha, and Ashwaubanon in their first three meets. But with expectations raised, the team was disappointed with a fourth place finish at conference, behind cross-town rival Oshkosh North. The 200 medley team of Mark Nielsen, Don Staerkel, Mark Miller, and Collin Krumm was anticipating swimming at the state meet on February 17, but finished second at sectionals, missing state qualifications by two seconds. “We didn’t have the depth we've had in past years,” stated captain Mark Nielsen, ‘‘and our spirit wasn’t the best, but everyone improved from the beginning of the season.” A new addition was made to the pool equipment this year. Electronic timing that automatically took splits and determined place was shared between North and West. Both the boys’ and girls’ teams raised money, with car washes and donut sales, to help pay for the system that cost almost $5000. Keith Koch set a school record in diving, 275.80, and placed third in sectionals, which sent him to state. ‘Keith is really talented,’’ said Coach Zitzelsberger, ‘He really deserves to be there.”’ Don Staerkel set school records in the 100 breast stroke, 100 butterfly, and the 200 individ- ual medley. Coach Jim Zitzelsberger took ninth in the coach's race at the Two Rivers Invitational. Place was determined by length of belt, age, amount of hair on head, and finish in the race. “He really deserved it.” commented co-captain Todd Eiden. AY. .. bach. Ke Y BOYS SWIMMING; BOTTOM ROW: R.
