S W I M M I N G Bam! The sound of the gun split the air as the swimmers propelled their bodies into the water. Throughout the fall, fans of the girls' swim team viewed this scene often. The girls' swim team had a very successful year. They qualified for state in two differ- ent events: the 200 medley and breaststroke. Fr. Kristy Kline placed 13th in the individual medley at the state competition. New to the Overland swim team, Kristy had been swim- ming since she was eight. Kristy said, Attending practices and working your hardest requires much dedication, but each meet brings new challenges. It also brought new accom- plishments. Overland beat their arch rival Smoky Hill in the Aurora City Championships. One of the highlights of the swim season was this victory as they also became the Aurora City Champions. The challenges of being in- volved in swimming did not lie just in the sport itself. Each par- ticipant still had to carry the re- sponsibilities of school work. Fr. Kim Coburn said, When you're really active you rely on yourself more than usual. When you're tired, and all you have to do is homework, you want to get it done instead of going out. The new head coach, Mike Richmond, was the assistant coach last year at Overland. Ms. Vannessa Williams, the as- sistant coach, coached a sum- mer program for I5 years. Coach Williams said, I be- came involved in coaching be- SWIMMING: FRONT ROW: Kristi Roser, Becky Beougher, Tammy Sea- man, Andrea Margolin, Kim Coburn, Tia Pcdrett.

I also en- joy the one on one relationships with students. The strong bonds felt by the members of the team, helped carry the team through many meets. Sr. Louise McAdams said, Swimming is not only an individual sport. If you don't have the whole team backing you, you don't do your best. Jr. Christie Hixon summed up many people's feelingss. Hixon said, On a team, you learn to- getherness and team spirit, and I think that's important. You feel like a contributing member of a big family. This family of swimmers fin- ished with a final record of 5-3 and with the Aurora City Championship victory.
