New coach stresses qualit The 1979 Boys' Swim Team was slightly handicapped throughout the year by having only a nine man squad. Although the team was small, their performances as indi- viduals made the year a successful one. Each member of the squad beat personal best time records early in the season by wide margins. The greatest attribute of the team was the intensity in which every team member competed in each event. In a majority of dual meets the team won 7-8 of the 10 events showing their strength, but lost due to lack of depth. The most outstanding swimmer of the year was Tim Hernon who showed potential to be one of the top competitors in the districts next year. Top distance swimmer was Carl LaLonde who competed in the 500 and 200 Free events. Top sprint- er was jeff Hipple whose ability made him a contender for state. Coach Haje stated that he was pleased with each team members performance under adverse condi- tions. ,2JAi' Jn ,mfr .ii 1 W K V LM VJ A ,. W , W at M 7 f V 5 it, 4,5 , in WW of 1 M an K .

Season proves disappointing Under the direction of Coach Dale Craddock, the 1979 season be- gan in February with the first meet a month away. The girls put in much hard work every day after school for three months. During this time they worked on improving stroke techniques, endurance and stamina. Although the girls worked hard, they had a disappointing sea- son and ended with a 5-5 record. The most frustrating loss was . 7 f e i Q X X . - . . M . ..,. . We 1. . 1 . .Qs Q. K .

However, after losing to Harding the girls came back and beat them in districts where they placed tenth out of 19 teams. Michele Richetto broke the district 100 yard record by clocking in at 1:02.37 and helped the medley relay team of Sue Rinda, Nancy Madvad and Sandy Desport place third with a time of 2:00.88 which earned them an automatic berth in the state meet. For her per- formance, Michele was put under consideration for All-American hon- ors and was voted to the all-district squad. At the conclusion of the season Sue Fabry was named Most Im proved Player and Michele Richetto was given the Coaches Award. 1979 W.W.R.
