Aggie swimmers dive into season against TCU By Jeremy Brown The Battalion After competing in the U.S. Olympic Trials and intrasquad meets, the Texas A^M men’s and women’s swimming teams will officially begin the 2000-'01 season Friday against Texas Christian University. • Eleven current Aggie swimmers and seven former A&M swimmers compet ed in the U.S. Olympic Trials this sum mer, but none made the cut to participate in the Olympics. Now, it is back to college competi tion, in which both teams will try to con tinue their success in l999-’00. The men begin the season ranked 17th, and the women are ranked 25th. Last season, the women placed sec ond in the Big 12 conference champi onship meet, which marks the highest the women’s swimming team has ever finished in a conference championship. The team then went on to finish 25th in the NCAA championship meet, six places higher than the two preceding years. Second-year coach Steve Bultman said, “We are fairly pleased with 25th (in the NCAA) our first year here, but we would really like to move up. That is our goal.” . Despite losing five seniors, the women’s team has its own group of stars. All-American Kelly Bolton took 12th in the 100-meter freestyle in the 2000 NCAA meet and set an A&M record in the process. She also took 14th in the 50-meter freestyle in the semifi nals of the U.S. Olympic trials. Clara Ho won the 1999 Big 12 title in the 200-butterfly and qualified for the NCAA meet. Bultman said Sharisse Blau, Amy Osmun, Shannon Steel, Kathy Barris and Katie Swan are other returning swimmers who could make an impact on the team’s success this season. “They are a hard-working group that will get up and compete,” Bultman said. Bultman also said he is confident in his freshman class, particularly Alexan dra Baldree, Katy Lietzau and Michelle Bird. At an intrasquad meet, Baldree and Lietzau had impressive showings; Bal dree won two races. He stressed the importance of re cruiting future stars.
