B EAKI and breaking records, swim ave team retains city title Intensity, the mark of any good swim team, was the basis of this team's outstanding season. The swimmers began their year at Del Mar Pool in August with two-a- days, swimming at least tive hours a day. Sr. Valerie Wang said, They were the worst way to end the summer because they were totally fatiguingf' Although these were grueling and exhausting practices, the work paid off. Fr. Julie Duncan and Soph. Kristy Kline both qualified for state in the first meet of the season. Yet success didn't stop there. The team also qualified for state in six other events including the free and medley relays and diving. The other individual qualifiers were Soph. Kim Cobum in the 100 back, and Soph. Cory rung out ter tou competition at the Summit County Invitational swim meet, Ir. Julie Mayor-Phillips and Soph. Sheri Steine crash on the two hour ride home from Frisco. Douglas and Ir. Leslie Bilyeu in diving, The state 400 free relay consisted of Valerie, Jr. Nicki Barleban, Kristy, and Julie . The state medley relay included Soph. Tammy Seaman, Kim, Soph. Jenny Capra, and Jr. Gail Krovitz. The closeness of the team came from the support we gave each other, said Sr. Stacy Reeder. The swimmers agreed that the season's success came from the strong friendships and unity of the team. For this reason, the lady Blazers were able to maintain their Aurora City Cham- pion title with dignity. The City meet was the high- light of the team's season since the meet was predicted by the local newspaper to be close after Smoky Hill only won the duel meet by two points. However, the win as the Blaz- Buffs 386 to Beougher said, our heads to- gether, and the desire to win! As many of the swimmers agreed, the family-like atmos- phere on the team madeit more than just another sport. Fr. Erika VanSteenberg said, Starting out was really scary, but everybody was so friendly and like family, that it made the beginning of my freshman year easier. Jr. Julie Reddy added, The unity really paid off because we did a lot better this year. Yet toward the end of the sea- son, many of the seniors realized that it was the end to their high school swimming career. Sr. Kristie Roser said, It's special, though, at the end to see everyone with tears because it serves asare- minderof how special weallareto one another. Along with the seniors, the underclassmen were also sad to see the season end. As Tammy said, The seniors were the strength of the team, and they'll be hard to replace.
