Although this was not a notable improvement, there was more enthusiasm and interest from the fans and even within the team, according to swimming coach Phil Hansel. "Although we lost a number of very close meets, a year ago we were losing those same meets oy a wider margin," he said. The team placed fifth in the Southwest Conference, placing higher than TCU and Rice University. High points were scored by swimmers Maija Airas who placed fourth in the fifty and hundred yard freestyle, and diver Linda Pesek who placed fourth in the three meter diving and seventh in the ten meter platform competition. At the NCAA Championships, the team placed twenty-eighth with points attributed to Pesek, who placed sixth in three meter diving, and to Airas, who placed twelth in the fifty yard freestyle. Swimming coach Phil Hansel feels very confident about the swimming team for next year. "I feel like we set a good base this year for a team for next year," he commented. He has much confidence in returning swimmers Airas, Patricia Kohlman and Titta Latosuo and three new recruits for next year. The three returning divers Pesek, Hanneke Faber and Tine Haffner all scored very well in the Southwest Conference. "Linda scored excellent in NCAA. I'm very excited about next year and very happy about what the girls did this past year. I believe we'll be very competitive against any team in the nation," said Diving Coach Dave Per- rington. ► Mauro Aguirre 236 ■ Sports Christina Bautista demonstrates the proper The UH Natatorium where the swimmers takeoff for the backstroke, Photo by Mauro practice and compete.
