Like tossing kickboards across pools. Flipping them out of the water. Sleeping like a rock. "He's a real daredevil, "said assistant coach Andy Brenan. He's also an outside threat to win a PCA A championship in one of the distance freestyle races. In the 200-yard and 500- yard freestyle races, histiraes project him as one of the five or six top swimmers in each event. And the 1,650-yard race isn't out of the question either. If Brown does win a race, he will probably, have to come from behind to win. Brown is a negative swimmer, swimming faster on the second half of the race than the first, always saving something for a final kick. "He understands pacing very well,"said men's head swim coach Harold Zane. "You can get nervous watching him until you realize what he's doing. It's a very good strategy, and he's won a few races that way." Several times this season he's come from behind with a strong finish. At the UC Berkeley InviUtional last month. Brown as in fourth place halfway through in the 200-yard freestyle. He took second place in 1:43.4, touched out at the finish'. At the Las Vegas InviUtional, Brown wai in the middle of the field in both the 200- yard and 500-yard freestyle consolation races. He won them both in convincing style, in 1:42.69 and 4:38.8, respectively. "I like to uke it out slow so 111 know 111 have something left at the finish," said Brown. "When 1 feel 1 can win the race. 111 go for it." , With tbe PCAA championships running from Thursday to Saturday at Long Beach State, Brown will meet his test. Four or five swimmers are closely bunched at the top. "In the 200 free, it wilTcome down to tenths of seconds, maybe even hundredths of seconds to determine who's first and who's sixth. It's going to be a very close race." And the 500-yard freestyle will b. close, too. Zane is preparing his team for the meet by holding practice* to simulate tbe schedule of the meet. Heats will sun at r ____ Brown the swimmers are practicing from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m- Evening practices last late because finals will start at 7:30 p.m. Practices are only one third the disUnce the swimmers were doing a month ago as the team tapers for the big meet.' "Our whole season rides on this one competition," said Zane. "1 think my best chance is in the 200," said Brown, If- I'm healthy, I've got as good a chance as _riy of the top switmncrs in the meer.'" . , If he's healthy. For Brown to do well at the ECAAciUmpio-ships, he will have to shake a streak of late season aUjnenU that ■ plagued bi m throughout his junior college career at Diablo Valley College. A fever the night before one meet, an infection at t he next one kept Brown from even match- i ng his dual meet times at the state championship meet. J Does BrownlueljinxedT "I do. I always get sick for lift big races'," he said. And the streak may continue. Last week. Brown. , recent sore throats were diagnosed as tonsilit-s. The 6-1,175-pound junior is coming off his best dual meet season ever. Brown won 16 out of 21 races. "I was surprised with how well he's done, said Zane. "It was better than what he did in junior college. And talking to him, I think he's surprised, "We're kind of curious to sec what be can do swimming retted and not sick," added the coach. Brown is just one of « handful of upper- classmen on a team dominated by freshmen. "He ba* j lot of experience and he's helped our team in training, and talking before meets," said Zane. "He. a clown, but he's really dedicated workouts," in said freshman John Ovei- street. Sometimes Brown can be both at tbe same time. Like the time he sUrted the kickboard craze. "I was at the shallow end of the pool between sets. I said 'bey guys, 1 bet 1 can hit the water polo net from here,* tbe suiting blocks from tbe w " said Brown. The net wa* dangling from the roof in midair on the other end ot the pool."! picked upa kickboard and hncked it at the net and hit it Then everybody started to pick up boards and huck them." And in the melee, one kickboard sailed through a plate glass window in the coach's office. Now the team settles for launching kickboards put of the pool. The Uglily bouyant boards will jump out of the water if they're held under deep enough with the Tisabig Brown may be best known on the team for his sleep habits. Some days he's asleep mote than he's not, averaging around 11 hours of sleep a night. "Ill come in at 8 o'clock at night and bell be sleeping,"said his Baker Hall roommate Scott Hunter. Sleeping ii a high priority for Brown. On the team's weeklong trip to San Diego earlier this season. Brown hardly ever left the condo for the beach , preferring to catch z .. ■ "If you're going to get serious about training, all you do is eat, rest and train.
