10 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, February 18, 1998 Swimming (continued from page 9) Stretanski. “They help each and they realize that helps us get bet- ter as a team. I expect all four of them to have a shotatthe top 12.” In the boys competition, junior Matt Kertesz is in his first district diving competition. “So much of diving is mental and Matt has a great attitude,” said Stretanski. “This is the first year that he’s focused on diving and it has really paid off for him.” In the swimming events, Stretanski expects the relays to be the strongest for the Mounts. “We're going to be strong and we hope to break some school records in the relays,” he explained. “We hope to get in the top three in some relays.” While the lineups aren't etched in stone, some combination of ‘Matt Schweitzer, areturning state qualifier, Robbie Neal, Jason Vodzak, Tim Herbert, Rich Dougal, Andy Popielarz and Kertesz will likely represent the Mounts in the 200 Medley, 200 Freestyle and 400 Freestyle relays. The girls relay teams could in- clude Sarah Scott, Lacey Popson, Shannon Gaffney, Jacey Peterson, Erin Allardyce and Aileah Kvashay. Potisek and Cooper might also be included in the re- lays. In the girls individual events, the best hopes for the Mounts are Gaffney (200, 500 free), Scott (200 free, 100 fly), Allardyce (200 IM, 100 breast), Peterson (200 IM, 100 breast), Popson (100 back, 200 IM) and Cheryl Kirkwood (200 IM, 100 fly). “We will have three or four girls in ‘every ‘event,’ explained Stretanski. “We're looking for- ward to swimming our best. In order to be successful in the team standings, its important for ev- eryone to swim well and try to get in the top 12 to score points.” The boys will be led by Schweitzer (200 free, 500 free), Herbert (100 fly, 200 IM), Vodzak ; POST PHOTO/JIM PHILLIPS Rich Dougal swam the 50 freestyle against Wyoming Valley West last week. He will probably swim the 50 free, the 100 butterfly and relays at the district meet.

Our goal is to swim some personal bests and see what happens. We got two kids to states last year and it would be great to get more than that this year.” 7-8 ball (continued from page 9) Arnaud and Angelo Reccia with 4 points apiece.
