In their first championship
format meet of the season, the Outlaws swimmers competed January 18 in the
Clemens Invitational at
the Philomath High School pool against
eleven top teams from around the state. "Inspite of crowded spectator facilities
and the exclusion of swimmers on deck, the effects of the flu virus still
evident among some of the swimmers, the Outlaws swam away with a new
Sisters High School record, challenged another one and achieved a number
of personal bests," coach Hedemark commented.

Steve Nitcher in
1997, with an explosive sprint of 56.36 and the freestyle relay team of
