USD Women's Swimming and Diving 1994-1995

SEASON OUTLOOK Having lost six seniors off last year's squad and sporting a roster that's two-thirds freshmen, the 1994-95 Toreros wou ld figure to be in a rebu ilding mode. Coach Bill Morgan sees things differently. "There's no doubt we're young, but I think thi s group cou ld be the most talented we have had here." Morgan expects to be stronger in all events with the addition of five key freshmen. Backstroker Corise Bittner (Holmer, Alaska) broke 1:07 in the 100-meter Back at Junior Nationals whi le Laura Sides (Omaha, Neb.) cap– tu red two Nebraska state titles in the butterfly. Joining Sides in the Back events w ill be Mary Wurster (Carson City, Nev.), whose conditioning im– pressed USO coac hes during preseason workouts. Megan Thompson (Bellingham, Wash.) is a solid freestyl er in the 50 and 100 events. Cindy Johnson (Littleton, Colo.), an All-America relay swimmer in high school, wi ll be part of an al l-frosh relay team at USO. Senior captain Jennifer Klaas (Double Oak, Texas) and junior sprinter Cami Simmons (Hemet, Calif. ) bring valuable experience to a young USO squad . USO diving begins and ends with Natalie Abraham (Mi lford, Mass.), a three-year letterwinner and the lone diver on the Torero team. 1994-95 TEAM ROSTER
