Preparation for New Season
by Gay Harshbarger
The Brevard Swim Team is off
to a good start this year, with 26
people expressing an interest in
membership.
Coach Belton Hammond says
that with enough participation
the team should do well, although
he does anticipate tough competi
tion, especially for the girl’s
team.
As a fund raiser, the team par
ticipated in a swimathon held
here at Brevard on November 15.
The swimathon also acted as a
warm-up for the team’s first
meet, at Milligan College on
November 20.
In the overall scores Milligan
topped Brevard; yet Brevard did
receive a number of first places
in individual races.
Top winners for the girls team
(whose final score was: Brevard
35-Milligan 70) were:
-Cathy Clay, who placed first in
both the 400 meter freestyle
and 100 individual medley,
and 2nd place in the 100 and
50 meter butterfly,

first in the 50 meter
freestyle,
-Abby Hoag who placed 3rd in
both the 50 and 100 meter
backstroke,
-Mary Lineburger who finish
ed 2nd in the 50 and 100
meter breaststroke.
Mr. Hammond says the girls’
team showed improvement, and
was best in the distance events.
The men’s team (whose score
was Brevard 60, Milligan 50)
received top scores in the medley
relay. The members of this relay
team were: John Schumacher,
Kevin McGowin, Hunter Short,
and Steve Smith.

200 meter freestyle and the
50 meter backstroke.

both the 100 individual
medley and the 50 meter
backstroke,

the 100 meter breaststroke,
the 50 meter free-style and

stroke and the 100 meter
backstroke and 3rd in the 50
meter breast-stroke,
-And also competing in

events were John Irwin and

in both.

Harriers Place Third
by Randy Ward
On October 31st Brevard
traveled to Greenville, S.C. to
compete in a 25 mile road relay.
Each man runs 5 miles and then
hands off'to a 2nd runner who
runs 5 miles until each of the 5
men on the team runs 5 miles, for
a total of 25 miles.
During the introduction
Brevard College was completely
ignored, mainly because of the
many famous runners entered in
the race. Some of those who
entered were three former olym
pians and an all Irish team,
representing former fast Ten
nessee State runners.
To no one’s surprise, the all
Irish team won with a time of
2:00.15, followed by Running
South in 2:04.33. Only after
Brevard’s Gerald Hutchinson ran
a fine lead off leg of 25:01 to hand
off in 3rd position, did any one
realize that Brevard was entered.
Brevard finished in 3rd position
with a tinie of 2:06.48, out distanc
ing two well established clubs in
the Greenville Track Club 2:07.41
and the Atlanta Track Club
2:07.45.
Brevard College entered two
other, teams in the race. Team
“B,” which placed 6th overall,
was led by Mike Peveto and
Bryon Batten who ran 26:03.
Team “C,’-’ which finished 9th,

came back to run another 5 miles,
this time in 26:28. Mike, of
course, is a fine marathoner who
made high school All American in
this event.
Before Brevard could concen
trate on the nationals, Brevard
had to focus its attention on a
tough triangular meet on
Parent’s Weekend, on Nov. 7th.,
against Georgia Tech Varsity
and Tennessee Junior Varsity
that was held on the Brevard Col
lege Cross Country Course.
Brevard has not lost a dual meet
in 39 meets over the past 5 years
and will have to run well to keep
this streak alive.
