Page 88 - YB1979

Swimming and Diving 1979 was a memorable year for the WMC swim teams, boasting their best records and first winning season ever. Strong with returning starters and versatile first year swimmers, both men's and women's teams placed 6th in the MAC cham- pionships. Freshman Larry Gallag- her set new records in the 100, 200, and 500 freestyles, the 200 individ- ual medley, and both the freestyle and medley relays. Missy Sullivan became the first WMC woman to break the one minute mark in the 100 yard freestyle, and Kate Boadway gave consistently winning performances on the diving board. Other team members made strong showings through out the season. The team's confidence increased as they surprised themselves and their coach with very close competitive meets, which were often decided only by a touch in the last relay. The team accomplished more points in the MAC Championships than in the two previous years com- bined, surpassing teams to which they had lost during the regular season. The Terrors are proud of their 1979 season, and confidently Front Row (Left to Right): Sue Fairchild, Co-Captain, Mary Gately, Co-Captain, Second Row: Ann hope to better these records in the Harrison, Kathy Timmins, Pat Donovan, Jenny Doremus, Becky Higgins, Wendy Protzman, Beth coming year.
