Gymmen win Open
with record score
By MEGAN CULHANE
Collegian Sports Writer
Relying on experience and high
hopes for another chance at Na
tionals, the men’s gymnastics
team won the Farmingdale Open
this weekend with a record-break
ing combined score of 275.90.
Finishing behind Penn State
were Temple and Southern Con
necticut with scores of 258.40 and
258.05, respectively.
Penn State Mead Coach Karl
Schier said he was pleased with
the outcome and with the team’s
strong early-season showing.
Schier said this wiy be to the
Lions’ advantage when the Lions
meet Southern Connecticut in the
regular season.
“Everything we had to accompl
ish in this meet we did,” Schier
said. “It was a good start and as
long as everything goes well and
everyone keeps in good condition
over the break I think we’ll start
off at a higher level of competition
than we'have before. We saw some
excellent improvements. I think
we’re ahead of schedule.”
Schier said that the new difficul
ty requirements make it much
harder to break both team and
individual records. He added that
when a gymnast receives a high
score now, it reflects more work
and harder tricks.
Individually, the Lions placed at

least three to four gymnasts in
every event. Mario Gonzalez, who
entered the meet with slight inju
ries to both his shoulder and ankle,
won the all-around competition
with a score of 108.60.
“I just tried to conserve my
energy in warm-ups,” Gozalez
said. “I was just basically feeling
around to see what would hurt and
what wouldn’t.
“The team showed good confi
dence and with more practice
we’ll be looking really good. This
meet was mainly to see what we
could do.”
Schier said that Gonzalez’ out
standing score automatically
qualifies him for the USA
Championships in the summer.
lan Shelley claimed the second
place spot with a score of 107.80.
The senior all-arounder said the
team’s desire for a national title is
strong and the combination of
experience and conditioning will
determine the final outcome.
“I think these wins boosted our
confidence because we’ve never
been this good this early in the
season,” Shelley said. “Everyone
is searching for Nationals. We are
going to play it easy, but base
ourselves on experience. Last
year NCAAs were a big letdown. I
think we are hungrier this year.”
Schier said he was very pleased
with the outcome of the meet.

Swimwomen dominate, sweep Pitt Invite
By JOSEPH HAAS
Collegian Sports Writer
The women’s swimming and diving team com
pleted a weekend sweep by winning the Pitt
Invitational on Saturday.
With 846 points, the Lady Lions (5-0) had a
comfortable margin of victory. Pitt finished sec
ond with 628 points, followed by Miami of Ohio
(562), West Virginia (511), Virginia Tech (419) and
St. Bona venture (170).
The key to the Lady Lions’ victory was depth.
Although the team collected only five first place
finishes, it placed at least four people in the
scoring in each event. *
The team was led by freshman Alisa Hess, who
swam nine total events, winning two and placing
second in three. She scored points in all nine races.
"Alisa Hess did an outstanding job,” Head
Coach Bob Krimmel said. “If you had to pick a
workhorse for the team, it would be her. You could
swim unlimited events and these were things she
Despite loss, swimmen pleased with effort

Sometimes a final score doesn’t reflect how well
a team really performs. Such was the case this
weekend for the men’s swimming team in its meet
against Princeton.
The final' tally showed Princeton the victor by a
score of 76-37. However, Penn State Head Coach
Peter Brown wasn’t displeased with the Lions’
performance, considering the calibre of Prince
ton’s team.
“This is probably Princeton’s best team ever,”
he said. “Last year they were ranked 20th in the
nation, and this year’s team is better than .that
team.”
Moreover, Princeton’s team is composed mostly

wanted to do.”
Over the span of two busy days, Hess won the
1650-yard (one mile) freestyle in 17:07:72 and the
500-yard freestyle in 5:00:03. She also took second
in the 200-yard backstroke, the 200-yard butterfly
and 400-yard individual medley.
Another standout for Penn State was sophmore
Kristen Elias. She won the 200-yard butterfly in
2:03:51 and joined Erin Dittmar, Kathy Zoranski
and Dennise Sonntag to win the 800-yard freestyle
relay in 7:40:53. Elias also placed second in the
100-yard butterfly and third in the 200-yard individ
ual medley.
Sonntag and Zoranski also distinguished them
selves as usual. In addition to the 800-free relay,
Sonntag, a freshman, won the 200-yard freestyle in
1:53:29, while Zoranski, a junior, took second in
the 100-yard freestyle and the 200-yard individual
medley and third in the 100-yard butterfly.
Freshman Christy Johnson, who is just return
ing to form after a shoulder injury, took second
place in the 1650-free and first in the 500-free.
of seniors, while Penn State’s team is relatively
young. Nonetheless, the Lions still put up a strong
fight, Brown said.
“Overall I was pleased with our performance,”
he said. “We swam well, (but) they just swam
exceptionally well.”
Princeton also had a 20-game win streak to
protect going into this meet, which made the
Tigers even more determined.
Three Penn State swimmers turned in extreme
ly good times. Sophomore Mike Miklus won the
100-yard freestyle with a time of 46.8 and Eric
Bescher was victorious in the 200-yard freestyle in
1:42.30. Another Lion with an great day was
sophomore Dave Rafferty. Rafferty won the 200-
yard butterfly with a time of 1:52.1 which, accord
ing to Brown, is one of the best times in the East.

Krimmel hopes this strong showing is an indica
tion of what the future holds.
“It was her first big swimming performance,”
he said. “(It was) a big beginning for her.”
One area where the Lady Lions were a little
shorthanded was in the breaststroke. The team’s
top.breaststroker, Kathleen Dick, left Pittsburgh
after Thursday’s meet to participate in the U.S.
Open in Florida. The responsibility for the Invita
tional was left to the quartet of Theresa Finn,
Marianne Quinn, Nancy Foley and Mandy Thomp
son. They answered the challenge by scoring four
places in both the 100 and 200-yard breaststrokes.
Finn, a senior co-captain, was especially suc
cessful. She finished second in the 200 and fourth in
the lOO.and added another second place in the 400-
yard individual medley.
Now the team looks ahead to Princeton (at the
Nat Dec. 13 at 1 p.m.) before finals and a well
deserved Christmas vacation. Krimmel said the
team will use this weekend as a springboard for
continued success.
Brown said the meet would benefit the Lions for
the remainder of the season. .
“Since Princeton is such a good team it was good
for us to get this kind of experience early in the
season,” he said. “It should help us to compete
better with other teams. Also, we will meet Prince
ton again later this year, so we now know what to
expect.”
The squad’s next meet isn’t until January, so the
Lions’ will concentrate for the moment on practic
ing hard. Although Brown feels that the team is
right where it should be, he contends it has a lot of
practice to do over the break.
“We will be traveling to Florida at the end of
December for some heavy practicing,” he says.
“Hopefully, we’ll be able to improve on our times,
so that our second half of the season will be
stronger.”

Is this what your long distance calls sound like?
If so, it’s probably because your calls are be
ing carried on a satellite. Most long distance
companies use them because they're an inex
pensive way to transmit a call. But it means you
pay a high price in quality.
But not with ITT. Unlike MCI or Sprint, we’ve
eliminated satellites from our long distance net
work, and that means we’ve eliminated their
problems. Our advanced technology, domestic
network uses micro-wave, fiber optics, and wire
for transmission to give a perfect connection
every time.
What’s more, ITT Longer Distance can save
you money. We're priced much lower than AT&T,
and about the same as MCI or Sprint. We have
volume discounts and we offer features you
can't always find elsewhere, such as a travel
card (so you'll never have to spend the extra
$1.05 per call charged by AT&T), and optional
combined local/long distance invoicing all on
one bill.
So why spend more than you have to? Or
