Plunge Into Triumph VV hat ' w Only fifteen minutes to get dressed, put on my make-up, and blow-dry my hair?! It can ' t be done ' scream the conglomeration of girls hud- dled around the mirror in the locker room. Coach Mains gives a sigh and continues pacing the locker room, wait- ing for the girls to finish primping for the school day ahead. Morning workouts, from 6:00 to 7;30, were on essential element in the successful operation of the girls swim team. The coaches were usually greet- ed by groans of girls . who had to drag themselves from the warmth of their own beds at 6:00 in the morning (heaven for- bid). I like them because they help me to improve my strokes, voiced Heidi Strum. The practice sessions were hailed by coaches also as a method of building team unity and dedication. Morning workouts give the team en- durance, stated Coach Riggs. The goal of the team was to achieve the possibly untapped potential of each swimmer Missy Johnson, Heather Fol- som, Crystal Johnson, and Kelly Larson . . . they ' re all really hyper . . . achieved that, plus a little more by mak- ing GIF. But, they protested, they couldn ' t have done it without the sup- port and teamwork of the rest of the team. Teamwork and spirit were the stron- gest assets of the team. Before every swim meet and on every bus ride, team cheers could be heard and reheard. And every victorious meet was ended by the triumphant screams of the swimmers. Missy Johnson laughed, They ' re all really hyper. Two of the many victories achieved by the team were against Arlington -. and Fontana at a competitive tri-meet. The Falcons outswam Arlington with a score of 89-76, and they dominated Fontana with a score of 89-31. We won because we have a lot of depth, revealed Coach Riggs. With hard work, spirit, depth, team- work, and demanding workouts the team overwhelmed competitors and worked to dominate the league. We are great! exclaimed Kelly Larson. ■
