John Hussey, Wayne State's swimming
coach, is convinced
Detroit's high schools can more than hold their own in the tank.
"They're
swimming faster and faster and haven't reached their potential." he
said
after watching Public School League swimmers set six records in the PSL
championships in Patton Pool last night. "Some will be knocking seconds
off their times when they get to college," he added. It was an exciting
meet right down to the last event, in which Cooley placed fourth in the
200-yard freestyle relay to edge Denby by one-half point for its third
straight team title, 50 1/2 to 50. |
There were two double winners, Jim
MacMillan, of Eastern
and Pershing's Peter Adams. MacMillan took the 100-yard

freestyle and 200-yard individual
medley. Adams, 15-year
old 10th grader, led in the 400 and 200-yard freestyle, setting a
record
in each. He swam the 400 in 4:14, clipping four seconds from the mark
of
4:18 he made in the time trials, and the 200 in 1:44.4, a tenth of a
second
under the 1:55.5 time MacMillan made in 1960. Other record breakers
were
Larry Hatswell, of Redford (23.3 for 50-yard freestyle); Bill Jennison,
of Cooley (57.0) for the 100-yd butterfly; Western (1:49.2 in the
200-yard
medley relay); and Redford (1:36.7 in the 200-yard freestyle relay). |
