Memories from the Past...
The season started with an overnight to COS in Visalia.

Like it was yesterday...I walked into the locker room during the diving and asked the relay team if they were ready to go. Nort told me that we could beat his relay team because he did not have his four fastest freestylers left to use in the meet. So....I told our guys DO NOT JUMP! You didn't, and we set history by beating the previously unbeaten contingent from Foothill who had not lost a dual meet in 7 years. I still feel good about this win.

The win over DVC with our medley relay caper may be the most satisfying win I ever enjoyed at CSM. I can still picture Ken Clement pretending to take off his sweats, having DVC coach Flanagan see him, then putting our official entry, with Bill Archbold leading off, in the water. There is still a huge brown spot on the deck right under where Flanagan was sitting. Do you remember that great 200 breaststroke win by Fred Meyers who passed "Frenchie" in the final 50 yards?
