"The dual meets are just preparation for the conference championship," Reddish explains. "You 3-- One of the cliches most frequently used by college coaches as an excuse for not performing well is that their team is "young and inexperienced." While many times this is just a coach trying to place the blame on someone else, in some cases it is nothing but the truth. SPORTS PREVIEW Take the University of Utah swimming program. No one could blame Utah coaches Don Reddish and Joe Percira if they called their teams "young and inexperienced" because it is the truth. For example, of the 18 members on the men's second-plac- e WAC team last year only six returned, leaving Reddish 12 openings to fill. In addition, there isn't a single senior on the team and only two juniors and eight sophomores. The remaining 11 team members are all freshmen. Not a whole lot of experience there. But while the Utes may lack experience in collegiate swimming, the same can't be said of the coaching. Reddish has been the coach at Utah for an incredible 33 years or as he says, "a lifetime." Reddish is one of the most respected and successful coaches in the land and has accumulated a lifetime record. Since the organization of the 220-73- -5 can lose every dual meet and still win the WAC Championship and NCAA Championship." Outstanding swimmers returning from last year's team include sophomore Shawn Rowland, junior Dennis Tesch, sophomore Toby Johansson and sophomore Steve Scott. Rowland is the defending WAC champion in the 200-yaindividual medley, while Tesch placed second in both the 500 and 1650 freestylcs in the conference championship a year ago. rd The top newcomers to the team include a pair of freshmen from Sweden in Anders Bladh and Johan Holm. Brooks McCartney, another freshman, has also come on strong for the Utes. g The Utes recently returned from a trip to Mexico during which they placed first in a meet with teams from Mexico and France. But just because it was meant for training doesn't mean they couldn't have a good time.

"We worked out twice a day, but in between we were able to do some g and relaxing." Reddish sees BYU, defending champion Hawaii, and Friday night's opponent New Mexico as the teams Utah will have to contend with for the conference title. "I feel that New Mexico may be the team to beat, but it will be up for grabs between all these teams," Reddish said. "We have a chance of winning, maybe not quite as good of a chance as those other teams, but we do have an outside chance." As far as youth, experience and depth is concerned, first-yewomen's coach Pereira is in much the same team consists of predicament as Reddish.
