The Spriog Break Sports Program, wbicb took place in Bermuda, brought together a vaiiety of athletes and teams from across the couotiy. Athletic teams in cluded teonis, soccer, field hockey aod golf teams. While io Bermuda, the Meredith teoDis team was matched with three Dorthera teams — the Uoiversity of Rochester, Pace Uoiversity (both from New Yoft), and Case Westm Uni versity in Ohio. The purpose of the trip, according to Coach Melinda Campbell, “was more or less to toughen the team up a biL” “It gave us acbaoce loplay teams we hadn’t seen before,” she said. “It helped us become morematch-lougb.” Meredith beat Case Westem Uoi- versityS-I and lost 3-6 to the Univer sity of Rochester aad 1-8 to Pace Uni versity. CampbeU felt the team did whole. Playing teams they had never met before helped make the team more aggressive, according to Campbell. “I am proud of all our efforts,” she said. Junior co-captaio Holly Tharpe said, “TBe trip was a good experience for us. It was good to face some new teams in order to assess our own abili ties as a team.” Campbell said that the Spring Break Sports Program was helpful in preparing the team for the southeast ern regionals, a tournament in which only 8 were invited. While in Bermuda, the team bad hoped to do a variety of activities, including a boat trip which had been planned. But because of windy and cold weather conditions, the team speut. a lot of time on the bus, sightseeing. On the bright side, Campbell said, “we learned to play in windy conditions!” Campbell said she is pleased with the team this year. She is especially pleased with the leadership of the jun ior class. Campbell said, ‘There is a real legacy being set forth for players to AlIEMLN SENIORS Pll mHV return senior sUite ihniii}!b mail tx> (ht* Oak Lcu\e& b\ April 1. i Cap and pictures will lie Thursday, April 3 frum lOain to 6pui in the Chapci CominuHb Riwni.

Watch for details. well and is proud of the team as a follow.” Aqua Angels astound audiences Tory Hoke Staff Reporter The Aqua Angels’ performances brought wave after wave of spontane ous applause during their spring pro gram. ‘Travel Through International Waters.” Most impressive was an astonishing lift of Angel Sherrie Anders to close the “Red, White, and Blue” segment, and a Ferris-wheel-like roll fea- oired in the presentations of France and England that kept tbeir swimmers un derwater for amazing peri ods of time. Special guest and Synchronized Swim ming Hall of Famer Pam Wingener’s flawless pre finale solo also earned ex tended applause. When asked how a solo could be synchronized, Angel Betty-Shannon Poates explained the solo swimmer “synchronizes with the music,” as Wingerter did with her selection, Feirante and Teicber’s “Summer of ’42,” and as Anders did for her indi vidual presentation of what the evening's narrator referred to as “the wonderful country of Africa.” Pointing to this line, a member of the audience who wished to remain anonymous said, “AMca’snotacoun- try. It's a contineni" She also noticed the areas picked for traveling were “a littleanglo-centric,”astheU.S, France, Scotland, and England got their own performances, while the countries of the “Orient,” Africa, and South America each were lumped by region or land mass (although Jamaica did receive individual treatment). Upon fiarther investig^on, some musical selections failed to represent tbeir respective regions. “Africa” was performed in part to the orchestral vi sion ofEnglishmanEltonJohn’sXircle of Life” (arranged by an American), and Americans The Tokens' “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.” “South America” found swimmers performing io music from ncm-Ar- gentine Andrew Uoyd Webber’s “Evita.” “Scotland”’ s selections were tom the Amoi- can feature film Bravehean, composed by James Homer. Most oftherestofthe'sources, to include the “Orient,” Jamaica, and France, were more closely connected with their assigned regions. Special mention is due the evening’s sound and lighting coordi nator, C;iay Adams, who lent excellent support to the Aqua Angels and pro- ducedaslickentertainmentexperience.
