Newcomers add splash Swimmers making waves By ELROY ASHMORE Of the Emerald The women’s swim team has set its sight on both the regional and national champ pionship this year. This year's team is the largest that coach Virginia VanRossen has had in her 11 years here and maybe the best, she says. Last year s team compiled a perfect 7-0 dual meet record, and broke all but three of the women’s team’s records. Two were set in 1976 by Michelle Menkins who graduated last year. She was the only swim mer lost to graduation last year. The team consists of 11 re turning swimmers, 10 fresh men and four transfers, with three freshmen and one trans fer comprising the diving team. Debbie Sill, a sophomore transfer diver from Pacific Lutheran, is a major addition to the team diving coach John Uoyd says. Last year she won the one meter board and placed third on the three meter board at the Northwest College Women’s Sports Association meet. “Debbie is a very talented athlete," Uoyd says. "She was a high school All-American in swimming, diving, and basket ball and last year was without any coaching, so this year she should do real well. Freshman Lis^ Maronich was the Montana state diving champion last year. "Lisa is in experienced, but she has lots of talent and is more deter mined to learn new dives quicker,” says Uoyd. Cindy Ught, a freshman from Tigard, placed ninth in state high school diving in 1977.

Colleen Meagher, a fresh man from Eugene, placed fourth in the district 5AAA meet. “Colleen has a natural diving ability. In the next four years she should be one of the top divers in the northwest," Uoyd says.

Helm competed in the AAU outdoor meet last «year and placed 20th in the 200 meter backstroke.
