\ X I ,-v Sweep Swim Titles The Albany State College men and Johnson C. Smith's women swamped all opposition as they both won their second consecutive titles in the National Black Collegiate Swimming and Diving Championship held March 1, 2 and 3 afthe new C.E. Gaines Athletic Complex on the campus of Winston-Salem State University. Allen Weston of Albany State and Kathy Thomas of J.C. Smith were named the Most Valuable Swimmers of the meet. Weston won and set meet records in the 100-yard breast stroke. 200-vard individual medlev. also was on the first place 400-yard free style relay and 800-yard free style relay teams. Thomas won first place in the 100-yard butterfly, 50-yard free style, 100-yard individual medley and the 200-yard individual medley. She also was on the winning 200-yard medley relay and the 200 and 400-yard free style relays. Ten schools have participated in the second annual event. "One of the reasons we have this meet," said director Charles Cox, swim coach at J.C. Smith, "is that we wynt to revive injjLarl^yQuth in competitive swimming." Cox pointed With pride to the new program at Winston-Salem State and to the more than 200 swimmers who participated in the meet. "I think that we can convince the Black schools to offer swimming in their competitive programs," continued t +ur _ t ? ? *^ux.? tyc nave some laientea Blacks all over the < country who are getting into private and city-run swim teams and then going to colleges that either never had or dropped swimming a few years ago. Interest is up and times are dropping; het there's not a Black conference that has more than two teams. There's a short season and no real reward to look forward to when the season's over. That's why we organized this championship last w tt year. The site of next year's meet has not been determined. "The Gaines Complex was nice; so was Morris Brown's last year, but we want to keep moving around to attract attention and keep the meet growing," said Cox. Final results for the Meet follow: 1. Albany State College 417, 2. South Carolina State College 295, 3. J.C. Smith 280, 4. Howard University 254, 5. Tennessee State College 154, 6 Hampton Institute 119, 7. Florida a & M A & M 11 and 10. Winston-Salem State University 10. All those were scores for the men's teams only. Final scores for the women's teams are: 1. J.C. Smith 336, 2. Florida A & M University 193, 3. Howard University 63, 4. Winston-Salem State University 42, 5. Alabkroa A & M Univresity 31, 6. Hampton Institute 26 and Morris Brown College 22. WSSU's Carlton Capers placed fifth in the men's meter diving and Sharman Lakey was outstanding in the womens events. She captured the 100 - yard freestyle with a time of 1:13.50, and placed second in both the 50 vard freestyle and 50 - yard breastroke. ^ ?? I III ..
