0 real prob! ms SWIMMING Getting our of practice on a winter night, with a cold wind blowing through your wet hair, was part of being a swimmer. The swim season, whch ran in three parts, was between No- vember and March, the coldest part of the Colorado year, The practice season for the swim team ran as such: first, practice to get in shape, sec- ond, specialized worlsouts, and finally, a taperfdown where practice distances were cut, This practice merhad paid off for the boys. l'For the first time in three years we had a suc- cessful season for everyone in- volved. No real problems, said Jr. Peter Calkins. Although the swimmers were happy with rheir perfor- mance, few spectators atrendf ed the meets and could exper- ience this joy, Most peple who watched the meets were par- ents of the swimmers, along with a few teachers. lviost spec- tators who did watch the event would usually return to later meets, however. Possibly the greatest aspect of swimming, Jr. Dan Pollack said, was the team spirit and friendship you can gain.

Even rhough ir is a young ream, rhey are hungry and ex- cired wirh good slsills, and I feel rhar we will fie our lasr year's record of 11 and 3, if nor go farther, said Brown. His long rerm goal was ro mal-ze if ro srare playoffs, During rhe preseason rhey played some scrimmages ro ger acrual game experience wirhour rhe worry of win-loss records. One scrimmage was againsr Columbine on March 11 on a blusrery, cold day or Srurler Bowl. Despite rhe loss in this scrimmage, ream members had confidence in their chances ro do well in rhe league. Soph. Sabrina Smith said, I rhinls we'II be able ro malse ir ro srare. We mighr nor win, buf we'II OT leasr be able ro malse ir ro fin- als. During rhe opening weelss of rhe season, rhree varsiry play- ers were srill involved in rhe bas- lserboll playoffs, causing some changes berween rhe varsiry andjunior varsiry reams. The JV reom also scrimmaged in rhe early season, bearing Colum- bine's JV ream on March 11, if The besr rhing abour rhe ream is rhar rhere are no cliaues. Ev- erybody worlss rogerher, and rhey're always nice ro each orher, said Soph. Dana Mur- PhY- Because of rhe populariry of rhe sporr, curs were made ar all levels, including rhe sophomore and freshmen reams. In oddi- rion an inrramural ream was formed ro occommodare even more girls wishing ro play and prepare for a spor on one of rhe reams in rhe furure. Cooperarion was a Isey on all levels. Veteran players on varsi- ry helped rhe newer players ro learn. Bur ir's harder for rhe newer players because rhe older ones have played rogerh- er and are used ro each orher, Ir's hard for everyone ro ad- jusr, said Sabrina. Wherher a player was on varsiry or one of rhe orher reams, goals re- mained consisrenr. Soph. Brandi Bell said, Whar I really wanr ro accomplish is ro worls as a whole and win as many games rogerher as possible.
