Despite the circum- stances both teams fared well through- out the dual meet season. The boys, coached by Dan R. Fritz, swam like each meet was their last in an effort to finish with a winning sea- son. Their individual efforts paid off as they ended the season with a 7-6 record. Perhaps the team's most re- warding victory came at the hands of the Oil City swimmers. The Rocket boys hit the water knowing that every point would be important, and they came out on top by an 87-85 score. The meet was not decided until the final event, the 400-yard freestyle relay, which the Rockets won by over fifteen seconds. The Rocket girls showed tremendous potential throughout their dual meet season with several girls breaking team records. Beth Morrical, Janet Zurovchak, Karen Brown, and Jenny 77 swim season Jones proved instrumental in smash- ing over half of the team marks. The girls' team experienced several close meets throughout the season, typified by the Oil City meets, which were split with a narrow victory by each team in their home pool. Senior co-captains Don Shupe and Bill Ludwick, along with Alan Sauber and Dave Leach, proved to carry the strength of the boys' team on their shoulders. Each was called on by Coach Fritz to grab some badly needed first place finishes. The four also col- laborated to form the fastest medley relay ever produced by a Titusville team. The girls, captained by Beth Morrical, finished their dual meet season with a promising 4-6 record. Both Meadville and Warren appeared immensely pow- erful, but the Rocket girls failed to let the strength overwhelm them, as they used the opposition to push them- selves to season-best performances.
