Girls' swimming team joins PHS sports line up The sports program at PHS ex- panded in 1972 with the addition of a girls’ swimming team. Beginning small, the team boasted only nine members, all underclassmen. Despite a losing season, several in- dividuals showed promise. Soph- omore Pam Holbrook advanced to the finals in the regionals where she placed 6th in the 200 yd. individual medley. Two divers, jr. Nancy Groo- ver and soph. Louise McMillan, also moved into the final round of com- petition placing seventh and elev- enth respectively. The varsity swimming team was nearly a new team also with only seven returning lettermen and a new crop of freshmen and sophomores starting practice in October. Facing grueling 6 A.M. workouts, the young team prepared for their tough four- teen meet schedule. The unimpressive 2-12 season was highlighted by performances of srs. Tim Lathan and MVP John Nestel. Tim placed 6th in the sectional and 24th in the state diving competition while John set five new school records in the 100, 200, 400 yd. free style, the 200 yd. individual medley, and the 4(X) yd. free relay. In the final countdoivn, sr. Tim Lathan tenses for the dive that could mean first place. Coming up for air, jr. Matt Christian nears the home stretch in the Terre Haute meet. Watches in hand, members of the varsity swim team help time the girls’ meet. Awaiting the gun, soph. Ginger Moon is ready for the 50 yd. backstroke. GIRLS’ TEAM: Back row; Louise McMillan.
