State Rolls In ACC Swimming,
Cavaliers Garner Fifth Spot

In what head coach Ron
Good describes as a "typical
end to a crummy season", the
Cavalier swim team finished a
disappointing fifth in the ACC
Swim Meet last weekend in
Chapel Hill, N. C.

"It was not an inspiring
performance," according to
Mr. Good, "nor was it an
inspiring season."

The Cavaliers did manage to
crack six school records, but
failed to top Wake Forest as
they had hoped.

The team scored 127 points,
the lowest total in Mr. Good's
three-year tenure.

N. C. State dominated the
meet as expected, racking up
622 points to runner-up
Maryland's 481. North
Carolina, the conference's third
"money school", was third
with 361, followed by the
Deacons with 161. Duke and
Clemson trailed the
Cavaliers.

First-yearman Bill Carvell
led the record-breakers as he
set new marks in the 100-yard
butterfly at 53.5 and the
200-yard individual medley at
2:05.1. He also had a sixth
place finish in the 200-yard
butterfly with 2:01.1.

Mark Bernardino broke the
200-yard butterfly record in
1:58.0, Gary Chewning
clocked a 49.8 for a new
100-yard freestyle mark, and
Mark Creighton finished the
400-yard individual medley.

The Cavs finished the
400-yard individual medley in
4:31.5 for the final individual
record-setting performance.

The 400-yard freestyle relay
team of Gary Chewning,
Charles Ambrogi, Jim Wilson,
and Joel Curtis also entered the
record book as they finished
sixth in the meet with a 3:20.6
time.

In addition to his
200-butterfly record, Mark
Bernardino placed fourth in
the 1,650-yard freestyle and
seventh in the 500-yard
freestyle.

Joel Curtis trailed
Bernardino, finishing 12th in
the 1,650, 11th in the 500, and
tenth in the 200-yard freestyle.

Jerry Rollins led the
backstrokers with an eighth in
the 100-yard race, and a ninth
in the 200.

Allen Ettinger was the
highest finishing breaststroke
swimmer, finishing eighth in
the 200 and eleventh in the
100. Mike Hall was twelfth in
the 100.

The Cavaliers failed to
qualify any swimmers for the
NCAA championships, as no
one on the team finished any
higher than fourth.

Fifth place is as high as the
Cavaliers have ever finished in
the ACC, as the scholarship
schools have long dominated
competition.
