Mermaids splash through season, make winning waves with veteran talent, grab fourth place in finals Water is just water to some people, but to the '69 Mermaids it means frizzy hair and sore eyes and a whole World of tiring practices and exciting meets. This year coach Les Roddis no longer found his team plagued by inexperience. With the diving talent of Sue Simon, plus the combined efforts of the twelve returning swimmers and new freshmen, the St. Paul Mermaids plunged into their season with dreams of another City Title. The girls began their season with impressive victories over Rosary and St. Mary. Then, despite a sound loss to Mercy High, St. Paul went into the meet against Star of the Sea with plans already in motion for the finals. Spirit pre- vailed throughout the meet right down to the final stroke but St. Paul lost the relay and the meet along with it. The Mermaids then splashed back in a tri-meet with Star of the Sea against St. Rita to chalk up another victory. In the final tri-meet at Star of the Sea against Bishop Borgess the girls completed league competition with their fourth win. Two weeks later the Mermaids returned to close the season with an impressive fourth place in the City Finals.
