Award received by
Sheila Taormina

The people who scoff at the
term "scholar-athlete” obviously
have never met Sheila Taormina.
The Livonia, Mich, native, cap
tain of this year’s women’s swim
team, has recently received the
Jasper Dorsey Award — given to
the top mole and female students
in the junior and senior classes
based on a combination of grades,
activities, and community
service.
Taormina is not one to rest on
her laurels, however.
“It’s a great honor, but it really
does not change anything,” she
said. “It shows that in life, it is
worth working hard for things.
There are many times you feel
tired, and you wonder why you
are working so hard, then some
thing like this award comes along
and makes everything better.”
Between swimming and
school, one would have to wonder
when the Georgia senior has time
to do anything else.
“It’s a tight schedule, but it
makes me manage my time. I do
get tired, sometimes,” she said.
Georgia swim coach Jack
Bauerle is thrilled with her work
ethic, and the example she sets
for the rest of the team.
"With Sheila, it’s all or
nothing,” he said. “She goes full
tilt until she runs out of gas. She
works so hard that she has some
bad practices, but because she is
consistent, she comes through in
the end.”
Bauerle also points to the re
spect the other swimmers have
for Taormina. In addition to
being chosen captain, she has
twice been named the team’s
hardest worker, and last year,
she was picked as the team’s
most valuable swimmer. She has
also made a name for herself on
the national scene, being named
three times to both the All-Amer
ican, and Academic All-American
teams.
“A lot of people expect her to do
well,” said Bauerle. “She has met
all of the goals in both swimming
and academics we set in her
freshman year.”
Taormina, a Production Oper
ations Management major, is un
clear of her future, but will
probably swim at next year’s
Olympic Trials.
“I’m just going there to have
fun. Realistically, my chances are
not very good,” she said.
Bauerle said she was probably
an outside shot to make the 1992
Olympic team, but will switch
her from the 400 IM to the 200
Freestyle in order to increase her
chances.
Bauerle feels she is a strong
candidate for both SEC student-
athlete of the year awards, as
well as an NCAA post-scholar
athlete award.
Rotated to third string
Jones maintaining a positive attitude
By QENE WILLIAMS
Sports Writer
Nearly two months ago to the
day, Georgia quarterback Preston
Jones engineered two late touch
down drives as the Bulldogs came
from behind to defeat Alabama 17-
16,
Today, as the Bulldogs prepare
to face Auburn Saturday night
(7:30 p.m. on ESPN), the same
Jones finds himself as the odd man
out in the current quarterback ro
tation.
“Greg Talley is the starter, Joe
Dupree is second, and Preston is
third,” Goff said. “It’s tough on Pre
ston, but he is still a big part of our
team. It’s a funny situation.”
Jones isn’t laughing.
“Right now it’s kind of tough be
cause in my mind, I know I’m not a
third-string quarterback," Jones
said.
Jones was touted as the Bull
dogs’ saviour coming out of Hanna
(Anderson, S.C) High School,
which placed a lot of pressure on
the sturdy shoulders of the 6-foot-
3-inch, 220-pound sophomore.
Jones threw for 4,197 yards during
his high school career, but has
found the college game a bit more
challenging. In nine games last
year, Jones was 42 of 93 for 568
yards, three touchdown passes,
and six interceptions.
“Coming into this season my
goal was to cut down on my inter
ceptions,” Jones said. ‘This season
has definitely not been the type of
year I have wanted to have and it
does bother me.”
Jones has still been unable to
avoid the interceptions, throwing
seven already this season. He
hasn’t started a game this season
and has completed 33 of 73 passes
for 363 yards and a touchdown.
With the Georgia offense mired in
the SEC statistical basement, Goff
decided to change tactics and has
thus played Dupree, a freshman,
against Vanderbilt, Kentucky and
Florida, while Jones has watched
and waited.
“It is really hard to stay positive
and it’s hard losing and not
playing," Jones said. “There are
better things down the rood for me
though. I don’t know anything
about how the coaches feel about
me or if I’m going to play, but my
main concern is now I feel about
myself. I’m working hard in prac
tice and I will be ready when I’m
called.”
As the Bulldogs close out the
1990 campaign, the probability
that Jones will play again this
season diminishes. Goff has al
ready indicated that Dupree will
continue to receive more playing
time while Talley has the most ex
perience behind the center. Jones
is working hard in practice with
his sights set on spring 1991.
“I can’t count on anything right
now,” Jones said. “I am trying to
work hard and make it hard on ev
eryone next year.”
Even with the recent turn of
events and the possible chance of
being lost in the shuffle, Jones said
that transferring to another school
was out of the question.
‘The easiest thing for me to do is
transfer, but I’m not going any
where,” Jones said. “I still feel I
can be the quarterback at Georgia.
This is where I’ve always wanted
to go and where I want to stay.”
