The Texas ARM women’s swim team constantly has been plagued with sickness and injury this season. But this weekend in Lincoln, Neb. it was the men’s turn to get ill. Every member of the ARM men’s team suffered from a virus at one time or another during the weekend of the three-day Comhusker Invita tional held at the Bob Dezaney Sports Center Pool on the University of Nebraska campus. ARM assistant coach Tracy Johnston said the sick ness spread like Saturday evening, “It just wiped them out by Sun day," Johnston said. “Our first two days we were fine. David Kohet was the first to get sick. And as soon as 1 checked him into a separate room to try to keep It from spreading, I got a call that Ranee Boren was sick too. ^ “It was really a shame to get sick then because at that time we were dose behind Kansas.’* j Johnston said by Sunday morning six of the 18 men were sick and un able to get out of bed for the morn ing qualifying rounds. Twelve men were unable to compete in the finals, but the team still finished third be hind Nebraska and Kansas. Johnston said doctors who checked the swimmers in Nebraska told her the sickness apparently was only a 24-hour bug wnich spread quickly because of the enclosed envi ronment at the meet. But only ARM swimmers suffered the virus. The only ARM woman striken with the sickness was Kelley Johnston, who still was nursing a dis located shoulder and was not ex pected to swim. Most of the swim mers were feeling better by the time they returned to ARM Monday af ternoon, Johnston said. The virus-tree six-member wom en’s team finished fourth, and had strong showings from senior Jody Tanner and freshmen roommates Rachel Benzel and Suzanne Fiori. Tanner won the 100-yard back- stroke race Saturday with a .58.56 finish, and was swimming seasonal' best times throughout the weekend. Iq the 500-yard freestyle event Friday, Benzel set a new meet and school record with a 4:53.52 time. Benzel broke Fion's record pace of 4:55.91 set earlier in the day. Both times cracked the old school mark of 4:58.9. Benzel also finished first in the 1650-yard freestyle event, setting her second meet and ARM record with a time of 16:45.63. Her time missed qualifying for the NCAA na tional team by 6 seconds. Fiori also finished second in the 1650. For the men, Chris O’Neil won the 100 and 200-yard butterfly races, setting a new meet record in the 100 with a :48.46 finish. O’Neil also tied for first in the 50-yard free style. Johnston said breatostroker Jeff Garry also was impressive dur ing the meet, as he finished with times close to his lifetime best marks. “We were pleased with our swim ming,” Johnston said. “Our goal in this meet was just to have really good times and we did just that. It was a good team effort. “If they can handle this adversity — the sickness, swimming on the road, and not being fully prepared (as in special practice to prepare for the meet) — then they can handle anything. We should be great by the end of tne year. So that s one posi tive aspect out of this weekend.” The Cornhusker Invitational was the last meet for the teams this year. Johnston said the team members will study Cor exami and then train until Dec. 22. when they break . for Christmas. ’86 training will begin on Jan. 2 with the first spring meet be ing the All-American Swim Meft in Austin Jan. 10-12.
