9' Q 5 f Jie wr Y i an are LA LA A. A A l.l1l REGIQW ul It iN: Plllll Il The girls' swim team had another successively great year taking titles and breaking records just about everywhere they went. On February 21, while many of their friends were getting ready for the annual Supreme formal, the girls were getting ready to compete in the UIL District 30 championship. The team breezed through the meet like a whirlwind and didn't stop until they came out champions with 156 points, 40 point ahead of se- cond place Marshall and 156 point ahead of third place Taft. During the meet, two new district records were set by Marlene Parchman. In the 200 individual medley, Parchman timed 2:09.67 and in the 100 breaststroke, 1:07.40 I was really surprised at the outcome. Every time I finished a race, I QOT out of the pool feeling unsatisfied like there was something I could have done better, said Parchman. By the end of that meet, the team had altogether won 18 medals out of 66 possible, including 6 gold, 3 silver, and 2 bronze. After that, the girls went on to become Region VIII champs on March 7. During the meet, three new records were set by the girls. The freestyle relay team, made up of Mary Anne Brunsvold, Kriste Evans, Parchman, and Mindy Weil came in first in the 400 freestyle, setting a new record of 3:37.45 Par- chman broke both of the records she had set during district championships in the 200 individual medley .:.X,,.si'sq :if kg' S' E' and the 100 breaststroke with 2:08.35 and 1:06.38 respectively. With the help of that relay title and the individual victories from Mindy Weil in the 200 and 500 yard freestyles, Clark captured the crown with 119 points, 18 points ahead of second place Chur- chill, and 46 points ahead of third place Marshall. We really did our best at regionols. We expected to win even though we knew we had a lot of competi- tion, like Churchill, who was definitely our greatest competitor, said Mary Anne Brunsvold. By the time the state championship meet came around on March 21 in Austin, five girls, Brunsvold, Kristi Evans, Parchman, Lauren Riester, and Mindy Weil had qualified to compete. The other teams at State all swam really fast. We did our best but we didn't reach our goaI, said Weil, Even if we had swam at State the way we had at Regionals we would not have won. At the end of the meet Clark had come in fourth place, outscoring Marshall by two points. I wish I could do it all over again! soid Parch- man, Coach Swanson is great, especially calming down tense nerves. He gave us a lot of confidence. -Andrea Smith while warming up before the Regional meet at Northside Stadium, Coach Swanson gives the team a pep talk to get them ready before the races stan. ffff GIRLS SWIMMING
