Defending a CCS title is hard, but it was a good year for the swim team in their struggle to . . . KEEP THE t the beginning of the season the girls' swim team had a strike against them. The Mount Hamilton Athletic League was new- ly combined with the San Jose Athletic League to form a new special league. Pre- viously there was little competition for the team in the MHAL. They would have won the League championships if the two leagues had not been combined. The new league did have its advantages. At times the girls swam against weaker teams, which allowed some of the freshman and sophomores who don't usually get to swim to gain valuable experience for the future. There were also other setbacks. Mandie Kosmala was injured before the Leland meet, and her not being able to swim hurt the team. Leland won, which put the Saints in 2nd place in the League. In the finals the team was hopeful of keeping their CCS title, but the other teams were eager to take it away. They loved to see us lose,'' said senior Dana Fambrini. Since we were the defending champions they really had it in for us. At any rate the Saints did prove they were good swimmers by taking third place. We wanted to prove we were good after Leland beat us, said Lynette Kosmala. Also this year everyone wanted to be out there. The team was like a family. When asked what role coach Dennis Mc- Kenna played, Fambrini answered, “We all loved Dennis; he's a great coach. But it was the girls who really made the team. Senior Lynette Kosmala was named most valuable swimmer, and Mary Norwood was the most valuable diver. Outstanding efforts were shown by Erin McCarty and Maggie Chanel, who got most improved and most inspirational respectively. Because of the teams togetherness, this year will be re- membered in the hearts of the swimmers. It will also be remembered by the student body because of their place- ment in CCS. When asked to describe this year for the team the most often heard answer was Great! m%m riiisr Up and Ovor. Mary Norwood, one of two divers on the team, performs a bocMtaxout at CCS.
