STAFF WRITER
After the North Carolina swim team
swept the ACC Championships in both
men’s and women’s competitions last year,
this year’s team entered the 1995-96 cam
paign looking to regain the form that would
return it to the top.
The Tar Heels found it Saturday, as
they opened their season with an easy
victory over Maryland and Clemson in a
double dual meet held at Maurice J. Koury
Natatorium.
“I thought both of our teams did very,
very well,’’ said UNC coach Frank Com
fort, now in his 19th season with die Tar
Heds. Tmjust delighted with the way we
swam.”
The men, who have won three straight
conference titles, edged the Tigers 66-47
and smashed the Terrapins by 75 points,
94-19. Clemson beat Maryland 83-30 in
head-to-head competition. UNC finished
with 160 total points while Clemson and
Maryland had 130 and 49 respectively.
The women, in search of their sixth
consecutive ACC title, defeated the Tigers

Heels' opening meet Saturday. They are seeking their sixth straight ACC title.
70-43 and shelled the Terrapins 90-23.
Clemson beat Maryland 76-37. In total,
the women had 160 points as Clemson had
119 and Maryland had 60.
Comfort, the winningest coach in the
ACC history, was pleased with the perfor
mance of die freshmen, but he said he
wants them to know the veterans provide
the winning edge.
“We had a tremendous number offresh
men in the meet, and by in large most of
them responded very well, ” Comfort said.
“I’ll talk to them about how our more
experienced peoplereallycarriedthe day.”
Co-captain Christy Garth, a senior from
Millington, N J., said she believes the Tar
Heels are primed and ready for die season.
“I actually think it’s going to be a really
positive year,” Garth said. “Ourteamisso
young there’s a lot of freshmen. They
really did an outstanding job. They realize
that ist’s their responsibility to the rest ofthe
team to perform with the pressure.”

what different from years past. Since 1996
is an Olympic year, the meets have been
pushed forward several weeks to make
room for the U.S. Olympic Trials which
will be held in early March. According to
Comfort, the early schedule hasn’t hurt die
team’s preparation for die season.
“It’s the same for everybody," Comfort
said. “It’s livened things up. Instead of
doing boring practice day after day, we
have a meet on die 14th. It’s great”
Garth said she believes the early sched
ule is beneficial for the team Having a
meet this early allows the team to concen
trate fully on the goals for the season, she
said.
“It’s a lot easierto see the light at the end
of die tunnel,” Garth said. “People can see
the conference meet a lot closer than it
normally is. I think it’s a real benefit.
“You have less meets, so that’s less
stress and less times you actually have to
compete. It makes every time you compete
more valuable then they normally would
be.”
The success of this year’s team will not
be determined by individuals, but by the
team as a whole. It’s the team that wins
championships, Comfort said.
“I don’t believe in individual stuff,” he
said. “We do everything on a team basis. It
was a great opener for us.”
Garth said; “All of it really is the team.
The whole team really got together (to
day).”
The Tar Heels next face Georgia on
Oct. 26 at 2 p.m. in Koury Natatorium.
