SWIMMI G Setting The Pace by Danielle Pagnini Water churning and splashing were the sounds that announced another swim meet. This year our Girls Varsity Swim team got off to a smashing start. As Shannon Griffin stated, Even though we all compete indi- vidually, we stay together as a team and cheer everyone on. This year's team con- sisted of returners and added two fresh- men to carry on the winning tradition. The team was stronger than ever. Sarie McFar- land said, 'There was a lot of depth to the team which adds strength in competition? With confident attitudes like these the girls had no problem de fending their CIF title from last year. Sarah Massengill noted that, Sure, we complain about the long hours spent on practicing before meets, but without the practices we wouldnit be as good as we are today. Beth Engstrom summed it up with, We're full of spirit! The Girlis Varsity Swim Team can proudly say that they have only lost one meet in the past two years. fr... . .. .i.... . iii ....i .t..

Such was the precision necessary to be successful in swimming. It was this goal that the JV Swimmers worked at as they practiced five days a week. The most exciting aspect, as explained by Vanessa Owens was, The challenge of working to improve yourself. The interest in the sport was best ex- pressed, by the considerable size of the team, 65 people. For those who won- der why people would put up with green 'gchlorinizedw hair and Hprune-liken skin they can be sure itis not To get a Speedo tan linef, joked Nancy Noel. As the swimmers nervously stood on the block waiting to take the plunge, they knew they had the support of the team. They stood behind each other, but also agreed that Coach McCoy's enthusiasm was essential: The team wouldn't be the same without herf' water while doing the backstroke. However, the ultimate success of the team was depen.der1t,.Qn their attitude and effort.
