Swim Cont. from Pg. 7 used by outside programs. Board member Barney Beer also supported a full size gym. “I would like to encourage us to go with a full size gym so down the road we are able to justify and implement elementary physical education 100 percent.” The board approved the preliminary plans 5-1 with Ross Sloat voting no. Board member Robert Abel, MD was absent. The architect firm will now proceed with the working drawings. Site selection As for where those new elementary schools will be built, Superintendent Jerry Lelle said talk is currently underway with property owners. The architects and engineers have looked at various sites of the community to determine where the best site might be. Lelle would not reveal who those property owners are since talks are still in the preliminary stages. “Things are moving and we hope we can keep things on schedule for our construction and occupancy in a couple of years,” Lalle said. The next Wa-Nee Board of Education meeting will be held Monday, August 14 at 7:30 p.m. at North Wood High School. The public is invited to attend. City to collect newspapers The City of Nappanee has scheduled its next newspaper pickup for Monday, August 7. Please have newspapers (no magazines, please) tied in bundles or placed in sacks, and at the curb by Ba.m. Funds collected through this recycling program are used to help pay the cost of the July 4 fireworks display in Nappanee. He’s half tail and half feet. He’s also a popular cartoon character that runs on blurring wheels. He’s an odd bird but a real one. He’s the roadrunner. The roadrunner’s name is right on traget. When these wildly colored birds shift into high gear they run as fast as 15 miles per hour. At that speed, the bird’s thin muscular legs take 12 steps every second. Those fast feet coupled with spectacular eyesight give this real life speedster an edge when tracking lizards and insects.

‘Who is Nate Lelle?’ NWHS swimmer is 24th fastest in country, named All-American:

By JULIA MAST Staff Writer Early this year Nate Lelle took the swim world by surprise. A virtual unknown, Lelle clocked :21.16 in the 50 yard freestyle during the preliminary heat of the February Indiana High School Athletic Association state championship meet. This is the fastest recorded time in this event for a prep swimmer in Indiana and 24th fastest ir. the country this year. And though he missed the state title by only .01 seconds, his [icrformance prompted many high school coaches to stop and ask, “Who is Nate Lelle?,” as the NWHS swimmer exploded on the scene. In the August issue of Swimming World Magazine , Nate will gamer another honor. He will be listed as High School All-American by the National Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association, the first such honor for any North Woc.i swimmer. This will be icing on the cake for the graduate who leaves his mark with school records in the 100,400 and 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly. Lelle also holds Northern Lakes Conference, Elkhart County and Warsaw sectional records and competed in the Junior National meet in Pensacola, Florida this spring. “You try to think about what you’re going to do, see in your mind that you’re winning and keep telling yourself youre going to win. Sooner or later you’ll believe it,” Lelle says of the philosophy that has brought him from a virtual unknown to national recognition. Lelle started swimming as a freshman at NorthJJfood. At that'time, coach Roger Karns noted him an average swimmer. But througn the next four years, that evaluation % continued to change. “As a freshman, I thought he would be top six,” says Karns. “In his sophomore year I thougnt he could make state. As a junior I thought he would place. And as a senior I thought he was a potential champ and of national caliber.” Somewhere in Nate’s third year, a serious swimmer began to emerge. “He started coming on in his junior year,” Karns say. “A’lot of it was physical. He just grew.” Nate also made a mental commitment to achieve about that time. When Keith Bush, Lelle’s friend and fellow swimmer, decided he was going to make a name for himself, Lelle followed suit. “I started swimming tough with him,” said Lelle. Bush graduated a year ahead of Lelle, but this attitude continued. “My senior year I just kept doing it. I just took his attitude and kept swimming,” says Nate The mental and physical changes were notable. “This year after Christmas, Nate came to me and said, ‘What do I have to do to win (state)”’, Karns recalls. “Ii January I thought it was unobtainable But in February it was clearly a goal.” Lelle did make state and

performed faster than title time in the preliminaries at :21.16. This is 24th fastest in the nation this year. The winner of the event from Muncie was in the lane next to Lellc in the finals. “I didn’t know how close we were,” says Lelle of that heat. “I just kept swimming.” When the event was completed and the clocks showed the narrow .01 second loss, Lelle admits he was disappointed. “I had already swam a lot faster than that. Taking state title was my goal I had wanted all season.” But Nate’s performance was far from a failure. “This year has been an absolutely phenomenal success,” Kams says of Nate’s swimming. “Nobody expected him to be at state. He really exploded on the scene.” Lelle didn’t qualify as a junior. His presence this year among the top eight, most of whom made preliminaries last year, prompted many coaches to ask, “Where in the world did he come from... Who is Nate Lelle?” This late blooming is the cause so ■ excitement among college coaches. More than ten universities showed interest in Lelle. “Nate has a lot of talent left,” says Kams. “He is still making dramatic improvements. I think his potential hasn’t been tapped yet.” Lelle has decided on V ;sterri Kentucky University, a school known for its sprint p'OgruTi ir. NCAA swimming. He h .s started getting in shape this week b j swimming every day. “It’s better to go in shape so you have a better place to

start,” says Nate. “Then you caih work to get faster rather than work ft) get in shape.” Lelle hopes to compete in international meets and perhaps even try for the Olympics. “That will be a goal to shoot for,” he says. And Lelle is good at reaching his goals. According to Karns, Lelle is the most goal oriented kid he has met. “He’s always taken set times seriously, written them on poster board and hung them around hfc room. He has then met or surpassed them. I generally believe the Olympics is something reasonable for him,” Karns says. Both Lelle and Karns will be leaving North Wood this year, Lelle on to the university and Karns to anothdr school disuict. But for the last four years, they complemented each other in Nate’s development as'ti swimmer. “He’s a real good coach,’’ says Nate. “We got to be pretty good friends.” ; On several occasions when Nate was ready to quit, it was Karns thai urged him on. “He knew me probably better than 1 did in swimming,” Nate says. “Every time I wanted to quit, he’d say, ‘No you don’t. Get back in the water.’” Karns aclm'ts it’s a little sad that his role in coaching Lelle is over. “It’s been a really exciting experience,” Karns says. “But that’s the nature of high school coaching. You get them for four years and try to set them up for the future. Then you shake their hands and wish them well.”
