That resolution is remarkable, given the fact that Hays has never coached a college team before. A competitive swimmer for thirteen years, she captained the Stanford women's team during her junior and senior seasons--she graduated in 1978--and helped that team in its rise from relative obscurity to a number two national ranking in her senior year...

...career reads like the dream of many non-athletes or retired jocks. Less than a year after picking up the sport, Reid--never a competitive swimmer or varsity athlete--has established himself as the aquamen's starting goaltender, received second team All-New England honors, and gained the confidence of his teammates.

The handsome Soviet leaped and vaulted to a total of eight medals, the most won by an individual since the modern Games began in 1896. The previous record was held by U.S. Swimmer Mark Spitz, who won seven medals in 1972, and by Ditiatin's teammate Nikolai Andrianov, who won seven gymnastics prizes at the 1976 Olympics. Andrianov, making something of a comeback at the relatively advanced age of 27, picked up a gold in the vault, a silver in the floor exercise...
