Vince and Scheffer dominate 500 Individual talent was the strength of the boys swimming team as four new school records were estab- lished. Bobby Vince, Russ Scheffer, and Gary Naden each set new school records. Vince broke his own 500 freestyle mark swimming a 4:47.68 and he also established a new 200-yard individual medley time of 2:03.2. Scheffer swam a 1149.3 in the 200-yard freestyle and Naden scored a 225.8 in diving to establish school bests. State proved successful for Vince and Scheffer. The Cougar duo placed first and second in the 500- freestyle with Vince winning. Vince also placed seventh in the individual medley and Scheffer captured fifth in the 200-yard freestyle. Although the team record was less than impressive, the Cougars started the season with a victory over Salina Central, 94-76. The highlight of the team competition came in the 4A Championship meet in which the Cougars place third. Coach Dick Rivera looks forward to a good season next year as all swimmers will be eligible again. ,3

Girl swimmers take fifth at 4A Lack of depth proved too much for the girls swimming team as the overall scoring was low. Individual times, however, improved consider- ably throughout the year making the season successful. The girls' strengths became evi- dent in the 4A Invitational in Em- poria. Laura Jackson, Janelle Fink, Jean Cheswick and Betsy Larson set a new school record in the 200-yard medley relay with a time of 2:l0.5. Cheswick also took second in the 200-yard freestyle and third in the 100-yard backstroke, while Fink finished sixth in the 50-yard frees- tyle. Two other sixth place finishes were earned by Larson in the 100- yard breaststroke and the 400-yard freestyle relay team of Terri Scheidt, Kim Medina, Kathy Hittner and Jackson. Jean Cheswick paced the girls at State as she placed in three events. Cheswick placed fifth in both the 200-yard freestyle and the 100-yard backstroke and was on the twelfth place 400-yard medley relay team with Janell Fink, Laura Jackson and Kim Medina. Betsy Larson and J anell Fink competed at State in the 100-yard breaststroke and back- stroke, respectively, but failed to place.
