We're hoping to get sec- ond, said Coach Porter. lf we beat Lodi we consider ourselves a really good swim team. According to Coach Porter Lincoln should take first because of its year-round swim program. Right now we're behind Lodi, said Coach Porter. Lin- coln and Lodi have the most year-round swimmers. Our kids are high school orientated. We don't match up. Key performances were ex- pected from seniors John Lang- ley, Bill Roach, Brad Burr, Zack Cheney, and junior Todd Hos- mer. The question is how Chris Humbert is, said Coach Porter. We have yet to see his true potential. l have high expecta- tions for Chris and l hope they be fulfilled. Hosmer won sections as a sophomore, so he is a proven quantity. According to Coach Porter, Tokay possesses several good freshman, and believes that it will be in contention for the league title in about two years. While the swimmers were pro- viding points for victory, the divers were also hoping to contri- bute. Grades definitely affected the varsity squad, said Kyle Rohde, diving coach.

Swimmers sprint for season goals Relying on team depth and a positive mental attitude, Tokay's girls swimming team raced to- ward the goal of a second place finish in the San Joaquin Athletic Association. I expected both the varsity and frosh-soph squads to place second behind Lincoln, said Toni Grgich, third year coach. Lincoln was expected to be the Tiger's most ferocious oppo- nent, because of their many year-round swimmers, according to Coach Grgich. Most of To- kay's girls were only swimming high school season-three months of the year, she said. Returning top performers were: junior Carmen Lynch, a standout in the 100 butterfly and 200 individual medley, sopho- more lVlandie Morris, who won the 50 freestyle and 100 breast- stroke at the 1987 Frosh-soph Section meet, and senior Kate 1987 TOKAY 127 Franklin' 16 1 12 Edison' 34 135 Stagg' 20 116 St. Mary's' 27 60 Lincoln' 105 109 Tracy' 46 86.5 Lodi' 83.5 ' denotes league meet 156 Steinheimer, specializing in the 100 backstroke and 500 free- style. New to the team, but expected to perform well was freshman Tessa Barajas, a well rounded swimmer, according to Coach Grgich. Coach Grgich said, We had a lot of depth, especially in the frosh-soph team. We have a team that has a positive mental attitude and a lot of fun! The swimmers faced the sea- son with an optomistic outlook. I thought our varsity and frosh- soph teams would both be good this year. We had quite a bit of experience and speed. Our main weakness was that we don't have very many year-round swim- mers, said Morris. by Kate Steinheimer photos by Eric Johnston li.'d ' nfy?-5 , V- ,u .1 , ,ww -1 ,,,,4f ,s 5.4. -,,. ggi, if r ' Miz-. .A FT W xx ,Z .0 s 'iq V ,- 5-1, ia. ,wg vw 4 - .,. , , ,,,., r at -r .. a , fv . c ,za ,fs- , at is 1 lv ,Q U?
