As the smoke cleared and the athletes could be seen coming around the last stretch, one certain sprinter could be seen giving the race their all.

Injuries affected various players, however the team pulled through and competed excellently. The guidance of team captain Ray Under- burg and spirit of athlete Mike Jacoway encouraged the team to unite and perform to the best of their ability. Shaded slightly by the Girls Varsity last year, they crushed their previous stigma and produced a fine name for themselves. According to Mike Steffans it was great exercise to swim everyday and stay in shape. He kidded, 6'Besides, l liked to wear the speedo!
