Keith Johnston had 15 for Gilmers, but tenacity just couldnt cope with the team See SENIORS on Page C--4 GLENWOOD Senior Ryan Searle, who has been with the Utes four, years, had this to say: Coach Reddish makes the mediocre swimmers feel as important as the individual stars. This year, we got only two gold medals at the conference meet, but it was the seconds, thirds, fourths, etc. which carried us through. The coach has a knack for peaking us physically and mentally for the conference meet. We never break our training schedule for dual meets. We point for the conference meet ail year. Coach Reddish takes an individual interest in all of us. Were all treated alike. No special consideration for the stars. We all feel like were part of the team. In my four years with the Utes, I worked hardest this year, because we knew it had to be a team effort. i Senior Don Gray echoed Searles opinions: Coach Reddish tapers us off physically, a couple of weeks before the WAC meet. But he works overtime to get us mentally ready. Many coaches can get their athletes in physical condition, but Coach Reddish is a master at getting us mentally ready. For example, a couple of weeks before the meet he corresponds with us individually. Some of the letters are in a serious vein, some are humorous. They may be about some little problem we or about strengths and weaknessmight have es of the opposition. ...

He also is good at outguessing the opposition. For example, we were strong in the 800 freestyle relay. Most of us figured we should not load that relay with our best, because we could win it otherwise. Coach Reddish guessed, though, that the opposition would load that relay to beat us. They did, and it turned out to be an important first for us which we might not have won without our top men."
