B L STATE COLLEGE 0 0 M s B u R A HUSKY VICTORY SWIMMING DIVING G 1977-78 OUTLOOK FOR THE SEASON Coach Eli McLaughlin is very optimistic and enthusiastic about his 16th season as head coach of the Husky tankmen. "We have six AU-Americans back in action this year," McLaughlin states. "Senior Stu Marvin, Triple All-American, 50 free, 100 free, and a member of the 400 medley relay team; senior Keith Torok, 200-yard free; seniors Doug Thran and Steve Price, and junior Wayne Richards, all in the 400-yard medley relay; and senior Jim Balchunas, 400-yard free relay, give us a fine nucleus for this year," he commented. "Sophomore Pete Dardaris is the only other member with strong varsity experience returning to the squad. Junior Dan Steel and sophomore Mike Bower have had some intercollegiate experience and will be vying for team positions. The much needed balance and depth will be provided from some outstanding freshmen including Riek Foust, Jim Tait, Dale Thomas, Jerry Martin, John Krick, Kirk Harpell, and Tom Reilly." The diving team will be much improved through the experience gained by returning varsity divers Scott Wiegand, Eric Slingerland, and Mark Ogden. Freshman springboard prospect Tom Cole should be an additional asset to the team. Gymnastics coach Margie Schaeffer has been assisting McLaughlin with the divers. The Huskies have a very impressive schedule and expect strong competition from Penn State Univ., Temple, Indiana Univ., Bucknell Univ., Edinboro State, and East Stroudsburg State. McLaughlin and his squad have established the following goals for this season: a winning season; establish eight or more new team records; establish at least nine pool records; to qualify al I members for our conference championship; to close in on first place in the conference; to qualify more individuals for national competition; and to finish higher in the nationals as a team. Naturally, to achieve these goals it will require each team member to sacrifice and dedicate himself to our program, according to McLaughlin. "I believe we can do it-we have the best team ever to represent BSC so I look forward to a great season!" he commented. BSC ALL-TIME RECORDS Event Time 400 Medley Relay-S. Price, D. Thran, S.
