Page 4 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, August 19, 199S Section Two Swimmers Lead Local Club From page 2 "At our level, it's a big thing. If you take a tenth or a hundredth off, it's a big deal," she says. According to Frisina, in order to swim competitively, competitively, athletes have to be willing willing to make sacrifices. "You have to give up a lot of Friday nights" in order to make it to early Saturday morning practices, practices, she remarks. On most days, the swimmers arc in the water twice. They also do dry-land training, including weight lifting, about three times a week. Another factor important to being a competitive swimmer is coaching. Ellis says they've been privy to "excellent coaching" through the Clarington Swim Club. Frisina says coaching can make all the difference for a swimmer. "If you've got a crappy coach who doesn't know what they're doing, you're not going to do well," says the successful swimmer. Frisina's mother, Jeri Frisina, says her daughter started swimming because she was getting through the levels at swimming lessons too quickly. She first moved to synchronized synchronized swimming, but soon joined the local racing team. Mrs. Frisina is glad her daughter made the move. "I think it's great for the kids. I think it's important to keep them focused during during the teenage years," she says, adding she likes the idea of her daughter competing competing against herself. In spite of the hard work and early mornings, Ellis says if she had it to do over again, she still would have put as much into swimming swimming as she has. "You have to like it. I love it. It's self-fulfilling more than anything," she says. Scoreless Draw for Mason Windows The Mason Windows sponsored sponsored team, the Darlington 86ers hosted Thornhill at the Hydro Fields on July 30. The Darlington U-12 team has been playing very consistent of late and continued their strong play in this match. On this night though, although the team effort was there, their finishing touches weren't. To be fair to the Thornhill team, when the 86crs were able to get into a good scoring position, they were stymied by a poor finishing finishing touch, but also by the outstanding efforts of both Scoreboard Clarington Men's Masters Slo Pitch (as of Aug. 16) Team W L T Pts.

At the other end, though not as busy, Darlington keeper Steve Mills turned in an equally exciting performance to hold the opposition off of the score- board as both teams settled for a scoreless draw. In our next game played on August 6, the 86crs travelled to Klcinburg where they played the C.S.L. western division leaders. In the previous match where scoring was hard to come by, in this contest the scoring was often as first one team and then the other would exchange the lead. Playing in absolutely terrible terrible conditions under heavy rains, the 8Gcrs could have given up during the second half when Klcinburg scored two quick goals to break a 3- 3 deadlock. With time running down, the Darlington side refused to give up and this effort would pay off with two goals of their own in the last seven minutes of the match to gain a 5-5 lie. In a very exciting contest, Trevor Delpippo would find the back of the Klcinburg goal four times, while Ryan Fowler would add a single goal of his own.

Many thanks go out to the sponsors of the team, Bill's Truck Stop, Power Worker's Union, The Bow and Fiddle. We would also like to thank Burt Henderson, a personal trainer from "Get Fit" who has taken some of his time to come out and work with the boys and also Ryan Gustave, a professional professional soccer player who has just left for Holland to play for the Dutch Premier Team. Both of these men have helped the boys build up their confidence and skill level so that they can play a better game. The team would also like to thank Alex Henderson, James Alexander and Ian Garrison. Their contribution to the games that they helped us in, is greatly appreciated.
