Yes, I know the swim season is NOW over, I thought I could recap with what is going on from when this page started to the end of the season on the LHS Varsity Swimming Team!
There WAS a meet on Saturday Febuary 8th, but was cancelled due to snow. Saturday, Febuary 15th is the County Championships, so again I posted scores on what happened.

(From the Febuary 6, 1997 Laurel Leader)
With several team members on a school ski trip, both the Laurel High boys and girls split a double dual meet on Saturday. The boys defeated Fairmont Hieghts, 114-15, and lost to High Point, 98-66. The Laurel girls defeated Fairmont Hieghts, 122-15, and lost to High Point, 111-59.
**************************************************************************
(From the January 30, 1997 Laurel Leader)
The Laurel girls improved to 5-4 overall and 4-3 in the county with wins Saturday over Douglass (100-67) and Crossland (130-10).
The Laurel boys also won both matches, defeating Douglass (115-53) and Crossland (134-9). The Laurel boys are 6-3 overall, and 5-2 in the county.

Under my impression (there have been NO ARTICLES IN THE LAUREL LEADER (which ticks me off!!!) the Laurel High School Swim Team was fairly represented at the County Championships on Febuary 15 at Prince George's Community College. Although it was fairly long, the mebers occupied their time by playing cards and cheering fellow teams to "pull." The Metros were also a great time to see teams that we never usually see, or swim against, either. Events for our team were held on Friday Febuary 21, and Saturady Febuary 22 at Montgomery Aquatics Center in Rockville, MD. (Sadly though the kiddie pool and slide were not open : ( ) Thanks to those who participated/drove/cheered our teamates on!

Thank you Coach John for attending the LHS Winter Homecoming aka Snow Ball. He presented a boy and girl each with "Most Improved" (I won that!), "Most Dependable" and "Most Overall Points in the Season." Congrats to the winners. I hope you all enjoyed the dinner @ IHOP afterwards, I heard that y'all we're there 'till nearly 1 am. Hope to see you skiing. Waiting for the Springtime Awards for more "Congrats!" to say.
I ALREADY MISS PRACTICING!!!

All seemed well at the first annual Swim Team ski trip to Seven Springs in PA a few Sundays ago. Sorry that I could not attend (I would have fallen flat on my face anyhows), enjoyment was the theme. The Italian exchange student must have been in heven.

I just have to also add (3/21/97) that it is nearly two and a half weeks since I was SUPPOST to get my Swimming jacket. I cannot wait for it, since the jacket will be worn 24/7 on moi! *anyday now coach, just call me, and I will pick it up from you PERSONALLY!!* (and now again on 3-31-97) ANY DAY NOW, someone call me about that!!
**************************************************************************
I'm geting more serious about my swimming. I just forked out $200 to join a swim club for 2 months. I've been to two practices so far (4-17-97), and it's great, even though my arms are killing me! I am still waiting for my coach to call me about my jacket. I'd still like to get a chance to wear it before summer. *ahem!*
**************************************************************************
Well- I did finally get my swim jacket! {5-21-97} I'd basically say that I am pressed over it! Everything's like "Well, me and my jacket are going to lunch" or "My jacket and I need money for the mall Mom so we can buy matching shoes..." It's sad that I got it so late- I couldn't really wear it this Memeorial Day weekend cause it was so warm outside. I'm proud of my accomplishments to what I have learned over this year. And my speciall congrats go to C.T., my best friend, for making me join to team, and the coaches for teaching me what I had to do. I WILL BE BACK! Well, that is me and my jacket!
**************************************************************************
Thank you to whomever spoked up to be the Tennis team coach, they have found one (assumably- why else are they practicing already?).
