Cliffe Swimmers Cap 11th Undefeated Season At Six-Way Invitational

The Racliffe swim team sealed off a perfect season Saturday, collecting 93 1/2 points and a victory at its annual six-way Invitational. The 'Cliffe swimmers crashed through New England and team records against their strongest competition of the season.

Despite impressive efforts by Brown and Mount Holyoke--who tied for second place, almost 30 points behind the 'Cliffe--Radcliffe showed a steadily increasing momentum throughout the meet. After Nancy Sato's picture-perfect diving performance at the meet's half way point, the 'Cliffe was clearly victory-bound.

The meet climaxed with the final event, the 200-yd. freestyle relay--in which Julie Bradley, Sato, Connie Cervilla and RoAnn Costin stroked to a record-breaking 1:49.5 performance.

Individual records also went crashing throughout the meet. Costin reduced her 100 free to 58.1 seconds and her 200 free to an astonishing 2:07.6. Cervilla pulled a parallel sweep in the butterfly events to set the new 50-yd. record at 29.1 seconds and the 100-yd. at 1:05.4.

Breaststrokers Sandy Wallace and Laura Lennihan, backstroker Jeannie Guyton, and freestyler Jeannie Drew also notched points for the 'Cliffe.
