Swim team proves dedication pays This year's edition of the Dragon swim team showed much enthusiasm and deter- mination. Being at school at 6:30 every morning was no easy task, yet it was necessary in order to be in Georgetown for their morning practices. Hard work paid off for the Lady Dragons, who placed eighth out of 30 teams at the regionals in Dallas. The girls 400-yard freestyle relay team including Jenny Grudowski, Tina Boothman, Karen Robinson and Connie Whitney, placed sixth at regional competition. In individual competi- tion, Karen Robinson finished first in the 100 yard backstroke and placed second in the 200 yard individual medley. At the State Championship meet, Robinson finished thir- teenth in the 200 yard individual medley and fourteenth in the 100 yard backstroke. Coach Standerfer decided to give the Most Valuable Player awards to Robinson and team captain Kenny Bold for their team inspiration and swimming abilities. For their hard work and desire to better themselves, Tina Boothman and Arlan Brady received the Most Improved Player awards.
