The Jewish Community
Center was crowded on August
25th when the annual Tennis
and Swim Team Banquet was
held. Of all the summer ac
tivities at the JCC two of the
most exciting are the Swimming
and Tennis Team events. More
than 90 swimmers participated,
ranging in age from 5 to 18; 35
tennis players proved that the
JCC has a highly competitive
team in the Queen City League.
Swim Team Awards
Coached by Ellen Skurla
and Jim Oddo, the JCC
swimmers started the season off
slowly, but finished strong by
winning their last two meets
against McClintock Woods and
Waverly. The swimming events
are divided into age group com
petition ranging from 8 and un
der to 15-18. Choosing in
dividual swimmers for awards
was particularly difficult, said
Coach EUlen Skurla, because so
many swimmers gave their best
efforts during the meets.
The Robert Musler Award,
the highest given to a member of
the swim team, went to Erica
Warshawsky, who led the 15-
18 girls in points, showed
enthusiasm and contributed
strongly to the team’s overall ef
fort.
The “Most Valuable
Swimmer” award is given to
that boy and girl who received
the most total poipts over the
course of the season. The com
petition between Amy
Bernhardt and Lisa
Josephson was particularly
close this season and both came
in first place in their last six
events. Lisa Josephson finally
won by only 2 points. Jeffrey
Shapiro won the boys’ “Most
Valuable Swimmer” award. In
the age group categories Kelly
Thyer and Phillip Rosenfeld
won for 8 and under; Melissa
Davis and Alan Karben won
for 9-10; Amy Bernhardt and
Brian Bruck won for 11-12;
Lisa Perlin and David Malin
won for 13-14; Erica
Warshawsky and Mike New
man won for 15-18.
The age group Team Spirit
awards went to Abby Weisman
and Ebrian Bernhardt for 8
and under; Debra Perlin and
David Rosenfeld for 9-10;
Tracy Josephson and David
Barman for 11-12; Alyssa
Multer and Jeffrey Shapiro
for 13-14; Marla Shapiro and
Ira Shapiro for 15-18. Lisa
Josephson won the “Overall
Team Spirit” award.
The competition for “Most Im
proved Girl” was so close this
year that the coaches decided to
award it to two swimmers, Emi
ly Dembeck and Susanne
l^grad. The award for “Most
Improved Boy” went to Scott
Crago, who swam competitive
ly for the first time this year.
The Community Swim
League attempts to combine
healthy competition with fun,
and most of the youngsters
seemed to enjoy the meets. Most
encouraging was the number of
new swimmers this season and
the progress made by many of
the younger swimmers.
Tennis Team Awards
The Tennis Team was coach
ed by Randy Krltaer, who also
found it difficult to single out a
few members of the team for
awards. JCC did very well in the
Queen C^ty League this year.
TTie girls “A” team came in first
place in the 2nd Division and
the boys “A” team came in se
cond place in the 1st Division.
The Andy Musler Award,
given for overall excellence,
team spirit, leadership, and
enthusiasm, went to Kim Kort.
The “Most Valuable” awards
went to Carol Karp and Joel
Strause for 12 and under; Kim
Kort and David Strause for 15
and under; Susan Levin and
Randy Newman for 18 and un
der.
Lisa Josephson and Julie
Appelbaum received the “Most
Improved” award for girls and
Michael Greenspon won the
“Most Improved Boy” award.
The “Most Spirited” award
went to Laurie Goldman,
Debra Perlin, Scott Fligel
and Keith Greenspon.
It was the unanimous feeling
of the coaches that all the
members of both teams deserv
ed credit for making the summer
competitive sports program a
successful and enjoyable one.
