Also competing on the girls team were Lisa Bourgeois, Megan Childs, Samantha Cook, Elysse Crofoot, Jackie Entz. Toni Hoffman, Melissa Koronkerwitz, Bhumi Mehta, and Heather Pow ers. Head Coach Coni Grebel re flected on the meet with some surprise. "We actually had all the odds against us: we started our practice season a little late, we had several sick swimmers, and we had a very busy week the week before and a long commute for the competition," said Grebel. "But they really surprised me by pulling in the points when it mat tered most. We do, however, have a lot of mistakes to fix. Endurance for anything beyond a sprint is not what it should be. Practices in January will need to address that factor. And starts and finishes both need some work. But the strokes themselves are looking pretty good in the water and will become more time efficient as the season advances." This year's boys' team holds 3 juniors, 4 sophomores, and a freshman, so Grebel and the boys all hope that this years' experience will be a foundation to build on for the following year. On the girls' team, M. Crawford, McDonald. Entz, Grebel, Mehta, and Bourgouis are all seniors. The remainder of the girls' team con sists of 5 juniors, 5 sophomores, and 4 freshmen. High school swim season will last through January and Febru ary, culminating with State Finals in Atlanta in late February.
