Sink or swim: when the Fresno Sute
women's team opens their season with
dual meets against two NorPac conference
teams, it will be the first college meet for
10 of the 14 swimmers.
Loaded with freshmen, it is hard to
project the Bulldogs'future. But this team
has a chance to improve on the 1985
squad, which went 5-9 in dual meets and
seventh place in the NorPac championship
meet. The two top scorers, Kristen Turner
and Leslie Paull, are back.
It's a long time until Feb. 27, the first
day of the NorPac championships. Until
then, the swimmers will emphasize training
over racing.
Friday afternoon's opponent is San
Jose St., another team with an all-new
lineup. Saturday morning, at the Spieker
Aquatics Complex, FSU takes on Calif¬
ornia, a runaway conference winner and
one of thc lop teams in the nation.
"San Jose has a team about the same
size as ours; we have a good chance to beat
them," said bead coach Billie Poston,
beginning her 14th year at FSU. Berkeley,
however, is at another level.
. Turner and Paull showed last year they
could compete at tbe conference level.
Both of them made the conference finals
in several events. Turner, a junior for
Salinas, holds eight school records,
including all the freestyle marks from 50
to 1000 yards. She also holds marks in the
100-yard breaststroke (1:09.46), the 200-
yard butterfly (2:11.85) and the 400-yard
individual medley (4:40.18) . She was
named the team's most valuable swimmer
in 1985.
Paull, a sophomore from Fresno's
Bullard High, came through with marks
in the 100-yard butterfly (59.40) and the
200-yard individual medley (2:12.6!) in
the NorPac meet. She swam the breast-
stroke leg of the school-record 200-yard
medley relay team that clocked 1:52.80.
Turner and Paull went 1-2 in dual meet
scoring this year. Turner led the way with
167 points in 14 meets, Paull had 109 in 12

public should slop spending their energy
worrying about Halloween sadists and
worry about real dangers instead.
"Fifty children will die in schoolbuses
this year, and I don't know how many will
die because they arc not strapped intocars
with seatbelts," he said.
Best said he'd check his son's candy, but
he doesn't expect to find anything.
"Halloween sadism is an urban legend,
mainly passed along," by word of mouth,
that involves foafs.'a friend of a friend,"
"Halloween sadists are an updated ghost
story,"hesaid. Wedont believeingoblins
now. but we do believe in criminals. Hal¬
loween has always been a celebration of
our fears. WeVe just made them contem¬
porary. It's hard to kill an urban legend."
Best said the whole "phenomena" of
fame he's had from his article has been��very interesting. "IVe learned a lot about
how the med iaworks,"he said."IVe never
seen anything like this before."
He explained that when he submitted
his article to the magazine, he expected to
get paid a little money, and he did.-But
then "Psychology Today's" public rela-
tions-firm, Greene Inc., took over.
"They really did their job," Best said.
"With every issue of the magazine they
make press releases of the articles. They
must have sent mineall over the country."
Best said he noticed something interest¬
ing about the media. He did the same
basic article for the Fresno Bee last year,
and one local television sution interviewed
him. That was all.
"This goes lo show Ihe importance of
getting the information put into correct
channels," he said. "It's not the topic that's
important, it's the publicity."
Best said he's amazed how much atten¬
tion his article has received.
IVe learned there must be a vast news
h ole that has to be filled each day. Leeches
descend on you to fill up their minutes.
This has been a real insightful experience,"
he said.
Best said he kind of gets caught up in
the interviews, they come right afler each
other but never all at once so there's loo
many. "Irt partly inertia, it's difficult to
say no." he said.
He explained lhat "Psychology Today"
told him not to miss anything "national."
"That way well get a lot of coverage. Of
course they want to tt\\ magazines, but I
wa nt to get my point across too," he said.
That's the reason he agrees to be inter¬
viewed. Best said. "I think the situation is
serious. This country is involved in a hys¬
teria forchildren'ssafety.and I'm not sure
why. ] plan to study that during my sab¬
batical next year," be said.
same team, anchored by Tracy Gearhart
and Valerie Hagopian, there are no seniors
and only three lettermen return. Two of
the newcomers are juniors with experience
and quality limes: Tina Gri and Laurie
Walker.
In more than 13 seasons of swimming,
Gri has excelled at the club, high school
and junior college levels. She was a high
school All-American for Montgomery
High of Sanu Rosa. She advanced to the
U.S. Swimming national meet three times,
and took eighth in the 100-yard breast-
stroke at the junior nationals. At Sanu
Rosa JC, she took second place in two
events at the sute meet in 1984. Her
personal bests in the 100-yard breast-
stroke (I :06.4) la nd some individual medley
events exceed the FSU records.
Laurie Walker transferred lo Fresno
Sute after swimming for UC Davis. When
Davis dropped their swim program.
Walker became immediately eligible to
compete for other schools. Walker recicved
Northern Cal Athletic Conference honors
last year in the 400-yard individual medley
(4:44) and the 100-yard backstroke (1:02.9)
while at Davis.
The squad is larger than last year's,
which bad 10 members. A bigger team is
better, said Poston. "We have greater
depth than we Ve ever had. We dldni have
depth in backstroke last year. Now we
have three good backstrokers, and three
in the distance events."
Turner, Paull and Paige Campbell are
the top three in the sprint freestyle evenu.
Campbell is a freshma from Ibe same high
school as Turner, North Salinas High.
Walker combines with Turner and Paull
in the 200-and 500-yard evenu. 1650-
yards is the Kathy Hunt's specialty, who
last year was named Most Improved after
slicing 18 seconds off her personal best,
now (21:09.86).
Walker, Paull and Sucy Meek will lead
on backstroke. Meek is a freshman with a
1:06 best in the 100-yard backstroke.
Kristen Turner has swam a 200-yard back
(2:24.0).
In the breaststroke. Gri is the leader,
along with Turner. They split supremacy
in butterfly and the IM events with Paull.
