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.
