Show 3 WIST VALLEY VIEW Thursday, Mar. 17, 1983 First Girls Title To Date - Hawkins Leads Murray Swimmers To Title PROVO. It was only fitting that the last high school meet for Tonja Hawkins would establish a first for Murray high. Capping a superlative career with state championships in two events, Hawkins led the Spartan girls swim team to the first state crown won by female athletes at the school. The fact that Coach Larry Swims squad edged Provo by the narrowest of margins, clearly iln lustrates that it wasnt a show for the Spartans. Every point was needed for victory. meet at But, still, the two-da- y Brigham Young University proved to be a showcase for Hawkins. It also gave Spartan Larry Robinson an opportunity to demonstrate his skill. He, like Hawkins, placed himself a notch above most other swimmers in the 3A class by winning two state championships. Despite Robinsons personal accomplishments and a solid showing by his Spartan teammates, however, Murray was unable to keep pace with a talented and deep Tooele squad. The Buffaloes successfully defended their 3A title, relegating the Spartans to bridesmaid status for the second year in a row. Tooele owned onover Murlead (79-7ly a ray going into Saturdays competition, but pulled away to win handily, Provo was third with 175, while Judge placed 10th with 30. Given the easy nature of Tooeles win, the drama was focused almost entirely on the girls meet. After one day of competition, Hawkins had one state championship under her cap, but Murray trailed Tooele by two points. Provo hadnt been a factor in the first days events and went into Saturdays finale out of the top five in the team standings. The Bulldogs put the pressure squarely on Murrays shoulders with a surge at the end. Provo swimmers won four of the last five events - and 140-13- one-perso- five-poi- 233-18- finished second in the other. But Murray was able to secure just enough points to win when its d freestyle relay team finished sixth. When Kristie Thomson d touched the wall on the last leg, the state title belonged to Mur400-yar- 100-yar- ray. That Thomson should have the honor also was appropriate since she swam well during the meet. But nobody could take the spotlight from Hawkins. For the past two years she had been the state champ in the 50 free; she made it by beating Springvilles Annette Billof a ings by seven second. Last year she set a new 3A record in the 100 butterfly. She didnt match that mark (1:00.58) this time around, but still demolished the rest of the field; her nearest competitor was nearly nine seconds behind. Thomson, as noted earlier, added key points. She secured the Spartan championship, finishing the relay behind Kim Williams, Andrea Young and Kim Kingsford. She finished second in the 500 free and third in the 200. So, too, did Leslie Boogaard. She finished second in the 200 individual medley and third in the 100 backstroke. In a meet where every point counted, Murray was counting carefully. Adding important points in the title drive were Leslie Cox, eighth, diving; Kristen McQuiston, ninth, 500 free; DeYoung, 10th, diving; and Williams, ninth, 200 free. The 200 medley relay team also finished second, placing behind a small but determined Judge crew coached by Sister Virginia. Ann Whitehead, Nicky Danforth, Kathy Reeves and Wendy Hardy teamed to give the Bulldogs the medley relay title, completing the distance in 1:57.60. Whitehead went on to take thirds in the 100 fly and 100 breast. Hardy took home another medal with a third in the 500 free and placed 10th in the 200 IM. Also scoring for Judge were Mary Francis Reeves, seventh, diving; Lisa Petersen, eight, 200 free; 10th, 10 fly; Missy Morton, seventh, 100 free; 10th, 200 free; Danforth, ninth, 200 back. The 400 freestyle relay team of Petersen, Laurie Drinkaus, Morton and Mary Francis Reeves was seventh. In the boys meet, Robinson showed he was the best sprinter in the 3A ranks with victories in the 50 and 100 freestyles. After placing third in the 50 last year, he brought home gold this time around by beating his nearest foe by a One day later, he became a double winner, whipping Tooeles Jim Hartley by more than 2i seconds in the 100.
