Swimming, diving aim for topi
T he Texas A&M Swimming
and Diving Teams are con
centrating on one thing right
now — having both the men’s and
women’s teams ranked in the top
10. Despite a schedule that in
cludes four of last year’s top 10
teams and an extremely tough
conference meet looming in the
future, both Aggie teams are hop
ing to achieve their goal by the end
of the season.
Senior Robb Pantano said after
this year’s difficult schedule, which
features several tough meets back-
to-back, the team is really coming
together well. He also said the
younger men are adjusting well to
competition against top 25 teams.
“They had to learn that these
guys we are competing against are
just like us,” Pantano said. "They
go to class, work out and compete
just like we do.”

The
Fresh Faces
Only four men on the A&M swim
ming team roster are upperclass
men. This means much of this sea
son has been a learning experience
for the entire team. As the Aggies
have taken on teams ranked in the
top 25, the new faces have had the
chance to get rid of the freshman, or
sophomore jitters and get down to
business in the pool.
Freshman Tim Campbell has
been posting personal bests in the
distance events, while freshman
Kevin Kehlenbach has posted per
sonal bests in the freestyle and
backstroke. Freshman Michael
Colligan has been getting stronger
in the 50-meter freestyle.
“He (Colligan) is one of the only
real drop-dead sprinters I have ever
seen,” A&M Men’s Head Swimming
Coach Mel Nash said. “He works out
hard, and has great muscles. He real
ly explodes in the pool.”
Steady Improvement
The Lady Aggie swimmers have
a tough opponent scheduled for
next week— Southern Methodist
University. The Lady Mustangs
ended last season ranked No. 2 in
the nation and are ranked in the
same spot this year.
A&M Head Women’s Swimming
Coach Don Wagner said despite
stiff competition awaiting them,
the Lady Aggies will swim well.
“We are feeling pretty confident,”
Wagner said. “We’ve made rapid
progress this season and should be
very competitive with them.”
Sophomore Lauren Buckalo has
been improving rapidly in the
freestyle and breaststroke, and junior
Stacie Karnes has already qualified
for the NCAAs in the 200-meter
freestyle and 200-meter butterfly.
Next weekend will be especially
tough for the Lady Aggies. They
will swim against the University of
Houston Jan. 31 and then take on
the challenge of SMU Feb. 1.

Recruitment Tip of the Day
Get an Olympic medalist to join
the team. That’s what the A&M div
ing team did, at least. Russia’s Irena
Lashko committed to A&M during
the early signing period and will be
joining the team next fall.
“Jodi has matured ven much
a diver since she came here,'
Wright said. “She has improvedhj
overall body control through thi
new strength-training program,
and has a great work ethic."
