Fosdick has not yet assigned his swimmers to specific events since it is not yet clear where he will need his strongest swimmers. The choice will be made after he has a chance to evaluate the other teams. “We (the coaches) will sit down and place the women in their events Wednesday morning,” Fosdick said. “They aren’t really signed up until then anyway.” Each school competing is allowed to enter a maximum of five indi vidual events; however, they can enter a total of seven events in the three-day meet. Fosdick and the women’s team are optimistic in their chances to place high in the meet. “I feel like we can win the meet,” said Debbie Starr, a team member from Missouri City, Tex. “We are hoping that the smaller teams will win points from the stronger competition giving us a better chance. “Texas or the University of Hous ton could take first place in some of the events and we could still win the meet by taking several second and third places. But we’ll have to win some first places too.” The winners are determined by the total points earned with more points awarded to the higher places. “We have a good chance to win any event that Susie Lynde swims,” Fosdick said. Lynde, a junior from La Palma, Calif., is currently the top long distance swimmer on the team. First baseman Bob Dulak anxiously awaits the throw, but McNeese’s base runner was able to dive back safely. The Aggies defeated the Cowboys twice; 7-2, 7-6.
