A lter placing tenth in last spring's State Swimming Meet, the Southside swim team looked to im- prove in this spring's meet at Hendrix College in Conway. According to head swimming Coach Ian Bullock, last spring was a rebuilding year since it was his first at Southside and because of the lack of swimmers. Commenting on last year's season of swimming numbers, Coach Bullock said he thought swimming was the hardest sport as well as most boring. Any athlete that goes out for swimming is crazy, he added. lt takes a lot of time. This year's state COITIDGTITIOI1 Bullock commented about this year's team. I was really pleased with the higher turnout. The hardest meets were dual meets with Fayetteville and Siloam Springs, and the state meet with Lit- tle Rock Catholic being the squad to beat. Looking at this year's squad Har- wood said that this season was in a rebuilding stage and that next year's team would be much stronger. lt was fun and kept me in shape even though it did get in the way of plans, he explained. I swam for competition. Craig agreed with Harwood and added that it was fun to compete Kp was much bet- ter and in the team had 22 ll N .000 against others.

How 'bout it? .--. Teresa Tltsworth, Senior My favorite event is the floor. It is so much more different than anything else. I first started in the first grade and took it for six years. I then started back in high school. Kerri Weiler, Sophomore My favorite event is the vault. It goes by real quick in competi- tion and I don't have to worry about falling off as on beam or the bars so it doesn't make me very nervous. I started the sport in fourth grade with a friend. Carie Roberson, Junior My favorite event is the balance beam. I like it best because it's easy for me to do. Plus it teaches you to have good balance and control. I started when I was nine, I loved the sport, and I thought it was neat and exciting to do. Balance must be obtained while turning a Legs of Pam Mllkert cartwheel on the balance beam.
