Swimmers Maul Wake
By Hugh Antrim
Cavalier Daily Staff Writer
Five records fell in the Memorial
Gym puddle pool Friday afternoon
as the mermen floated past Wake
Forest 80-24. Virginia took 11 first
places in the 11 events held in the
stately, if not dank, natatorium in
winning its second meet in as many
outings. The Demon Deacs were
just no match for Coach Ralph
Diver Steve Remine Strains For Proper Form, Execution
not come back to Charlottesville
looking for any more goldfish.
Alex Shaw, a first-year man
from Washington, D.C., was responsible
for breaking two of the
five records set on Friday. He
traversed 1,000 yards in 11:35.5, a
new University and pool record,
bettering his old mark set against
VPI last week; and he swam the
500 Freestyle in 5:34.8, a new
Virginia record. Coach Law lauded
Shaw's performance saying "[He's
the] best distance swimmer that
Virginia has ever had, and there's
no doubt about it."
Nelson Workman tied the school
mark in the 50 yard freestyle with
the time of 23.2. Workman, a
third-year swimmer, towers over
the murky waters at 6-0 and 175
pounds.
Gary Chewning, yet another
first-year student breezed down
200 yards of the Butterfly in the
record tying time of 2:16.0. This
merman doesn't tower over anybody
but the opposition with his
dimensions of 5-8 and 120 pounds.
Steve Remine sprang from the
one meter diving board six times
for a total of 213 points. His
talented effort broke the old record
of 199.9 points set last year.
When confronted with the five
new records and the mismatched
80-24 count it was all Coach Law
could do to utter, "I'm overwhelmed."
The mermen take to the
road today and meet Old Dominion
this afternoon before facing William
and Mary tomorrow in Williamsburg.
Old Dominion is more or less building toward the future, and
there is reason to expect that Virginia
will get win number three.
William and Mary offers quite a
challenge, however, and hopes are
high that Coach Law will be overwhelmed
again come Wednesday
afternoon.
