SlhSlllYG L It was an outstanding year for the guy's swimming team. All their hard work, patience, and hours of practice paid off when they became co-district 30 champs on February 21. During the district meet the team won twelve medals all together, including five gold, two silver, and five bronze medals. By the end of the meet they had scored one hundred and forty-six points, six- ty points ahead of third place Jay, making them co- district champions with Marshall. Marshall gave us a lot of competition, but I think Churchill was our big- gest competitor, said junior Chris Doughton. They had a good team this year and we really worked hard getting ourselves geared for the meets. On March 7, the team advanced to the UIL Region VIII Swimming Championships. In total, the team came home with two gold, two silver, and two bronze medals, putting them in third place with eighty-nine points. Brent Caudill brought home the gold in the 50 freestyle with 21.92, as did Anthony Saenz in one-meter diving with a total of 459.45 points. Chris Doughton took the silver in the 100 but- terfly with 53.74, and the 400 freestyle relay team made up of Brent Caudill, Steve Alley, Scott Bell, and Doughton took the silver coming in at 3:13.14 I think we did our best at regional compared to any other meet. Our confidence was really high after the district meet and that is what helped us a Iot, said Caudill. Other swimmers placing in the meet included: i ' 'rss J LL Doughton, third in the 200 individual medley, Scott Bell, third in the 100 freestyle, Sebastian Ramirez, fourth in one meter diving, and the relay team, fourth in the 200 medley relay. With all those victories, it was not surprising that five swimmers, Steve Alley, Scott Bell, Caudill, Doughton, and Saenz, qualified for state. We had a relatively young team this year. It was mostlyjuniors which will be good for next year's team because they will have the experience from this year. But we still need a lot more swimmers to take the place of the seniors who are leaving, said diver Anthony Saenz. Another thing many members on the team would like to see more of is school support. Although stu- dent encouragement for the team has increased in the past few years, the swimming meets have not exactly been having packed stands. Our support has increased in the past couple of years, like last year when we won state, but we would still like to see more people come out to the meets at Nor- thside Stadium, said Doughton. -Andrea Smith During a practice before their Regional meet, the team takes time out to talk with Coach Swanson about this year's competitors and new strategies. Even when the swimming season ls over, swimmers and divers still have to stay In shape. Anthony Saenz practices one of his state qualifying dives after school at Northside Aquatics Center. in-gl, E Q il yr 0 i. 2' if 4 71' 4.,f,.,... ,.., . My .X
