Coach Eli McLaughlin with his All-American
freestyler Dave Gibas.
Information
on the
''HUSKIES''
TEAM OUTLOOK
SENIORS (L to R) - Bob Jones, Jack Feyrer,
Ken N arsewicz, and Bob Herb.
"There's no question about it, competition in the
Pennsylvania Conference, along with that of our nonconference opponents, becomes stronger each year,"
BSC coach Eli McLaughlin states. "More stress in
swimming is being applied at both the high school
and college level, which is resulting in better competition everywhere."
Bloomsburg State embarks on another ambitious
schedule of nine Pennsylvania Conference opponents
plus five non-conference contests. McLaughlin and
his Huskies will be hard pressed to improve on last
year's 10-5 record. Bloomsburg is shooting for its
seventh straight winning season. "We were particularly proud of our third place finish in the PC meet
last year. We were fortunate in edging out East
Stroudsburg, a team that defeated us in dual competition," McLaughlin stated. In addition to ESSC,
four other teams that defeated Bloomsburg in dual
co,:npetition-Temple, Monmouth, West Chester, and
Clarion-comprise Bloomsburg's greatest challenges
this year.
Leading the group of returnees is BSC's first
All American swimmer, freestyler Dave Gibas, a
junior from West Mifflin, Pa., where he also earned
high school All American honors. Gibas, who was
named NAIA 50 yd. freestyle champion, will continue
to perform in the 50 and 100 yd. events and anchor
either the 400 yd. medley or freestyle relay teams.
In addition, Jack Feyer, Bob Herb, Bob Jones,
Ken Narsewicz, Jon Stoner, and Doug Yocom will
be counted on to spread their talent over several
events and carry the bulk of the load. There are
four sophomores and five freshman also battling to
make the squad.
McLaughlin is blessed with the best diving prospects he has had in a number of years. Steve Coleman
and Bob Myers are back along with newcomers Eric
Cureton, Dan Legosky, and Jim Smith.
Although the Huskies will be spotty in some
events, overall team balance should provide keen
competition. Everyone has shown an early desire
and enthusiasm and McLaughlin points out that with
this type of attitude, Bloomsburg should have another
successful season.
