Quality ot Quantity The girls ' swim team ' s strength was its desire to win, according to Coach Julie Brown. She said, The team was weak in some areas, but overall team effort was the key. Most girls met goals they had set for themselves, and many surpassed them. . nother advantage Coach BroA.vn pointed out was being an ex- perienced swimmer. It ' s really hard for girls who start swimming during their freshman or sophomore year to swim competitively. If the girls give 100%, they can ' t fail. It ' s a personal achievement for them. Swimming is a sport in which the athlete must push his body beyond limits. In Coach Brown ' s opinion, the level in which the girls swim in high school is almost as high as the college level. Swimming is an individual sport. Each girl knew my expectations from the start. Maybe they thought they were too hard, but once they relized they could do it, they gained con- fidence which is what they needed. The team was led by junior Julie Watts. Julie held 5 school records. They were in the 200 freestyle, the 50 freestyle, the 100 freestyle, the 500 freestyle, and the 100 butterfly. Also contributing to the team ' s suc- cess were sophomore, Kristaan Kane, and junior, Gina Fyffe. According to Julie Watts ' 85, We had hard work outs, a lot of dedica- tion, and good team unity. Although we lacked depth, there was a lot of enthusiam and spirit among the team Gills ' Swimming Season Record: 10-6 PM 107 Tech 86 Warren Central 48 North Central 88 Franklin Community 88 Lawrence Central 8.3 Southport 90 Lawrence North 78 Franklin Central 88 Greenwood 102 Speedway 82 Pike 61 Ben Davis 94 Howe 105 Decatur Central 72 Bloomingion North 1100 Martinsville ■ 4th in County 2nd in Sectionals 23rd in State OPP 58 79 122 84 80 89 80 85 84 61 89 102 72 64 100 7 ' members. Tammy Johnson ' 85 described the season as, One of quality, not quan- tity. Overall we had a lot of improve- ment and very few injuries. She stated, Our mental attitude helped a lot. It started pretty low, but it got better real fast and stayed that way. The small mmiber of girls hurt us, but they had the desire to win. The capitans of the team were Julie Watts ' 85, Tammy Johnson ' 85, and Lauren McGiU ' 85. They lead the team cheers, organized group activities outside practice, and got other team members motivated. 130 SWIMMING
