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. J , ,»
