UNC racked up 24(> points with defending champion Virginia close behind at 231.50 points. The Tar Heels started the meet with a win in the 200-yard freestyle relay that surprised everyone in attendance - including themselves. “We were totally expecting to be sec ond," said UNC swimmer Katie Hathaway, who swam the second leg. “We were planning on it actual!) . ” Trailing the Cavaliers b\ what seemed to be an insurmountable gap, the Tar Heels figured they would just have to settle for chasing Maryland for HATCHER From Page 3 Robeson Count) officials then pressed conspiracy charges against Hatcher six weeks after the first trial. Hatcher was sentenced on Feb. 14,1990, to 18 years in prison for the charges.

Watkins had other plans. Swimming the anchor leg, Watkins found herself in third with only 50 y ards left. However, she kicked into another gear on the last lap, nipping the Cavs at the wall by .38 seconds. “I just wanted to get up there and swim the fastest 50 free I possibly knew how to swim," Watkins said. Watkins’ second crack at 50 yards wasn’t too bad either. In the open 50-yard freestyle, Watkins kicked her way to a gold medal and an NCAA-qualifying time of 22.(iti - more than a second faster than her previous career best. But her final performance topped them all. The Tar Heels capped the evening with a strong victory' against the Cavaliers in the 400-yard medley relay.

Walsh, the legendary Tar Heel swimmer who had held the record since 1983. “That’s awesome,” Watkins said of the record. “That’s a very big honor because (UNC coach) Frank (Comfort) always talks about her. “I was actually kind of unhappy with that race because I swam a really bad last 25 (yards), so I think I could proba bly do better tomorrow.” Tomorrow - that’s when the champi onships resume. The Tar Heels never expected to be leading after the first day. And no one expected Christy Watkins to suddenly burst onto the scene.
