AT A recent meet at San Diego State, swimming against many competitors, she won all three events entered-and did well enough to qualify for the national w en's collegiate swim championships in all three-the 400-yard freestyle, 100-yard butterfly and 200-yard individual medley. Miss Fowler left Tuesday for the national competition at the University of Idaho. She'll return Sunday. San Diego State's team has sort-of taken her under its wing since she has no "coach" or teammates of her own. She's staying with the State swim- mers in Idaho. Actually, Mi.SS Fowler has a coach--Mike Troy--and she goes out of her way to work with him. BUT that's in Amateur Athletic Union, not college, competition. She swims for Troy's Coronado Swim Club in AAU events and hopes to make the national finals-in Louisville- this summer. Miss Fowler missed the Olympics by seconds in qualif~g trials. SHE'S been swimming she figures since she was about six months old. Her mother taught her then and has taught the other three Fowler children

it's still the greatest for younger swimmers but not as geared to "seniors" and national competition as the Coronado club. On top of her swimming schedule, Miss Fowler is taking a full 16-unit academic load at USD, where she's a sophomore. Right now she's an English major a bit undecided about her future career but leaning toward law. That's what her father, John, assistant director of community development for the City of San Diego, would like her to study. She's running for secretary of communications on campus, and, if elected, she feels she may have to give up com- petitive swimming to devote more time to school.
