The Westwood Country Club swimming team pulled a big upset Saturday morning in the Westwood Pool when they won a dual swim meet over Donner Pool of Columbus by a score of 352 to 235. The meet marked the first defeat in two years for Columbus in the Central Indiana Swimming Conference, and gave Westwood a four win and no loss record for undisputed lead in the conference standings. Westwood still has a return match with Columbus and Miramar away from home, and Bloomington home and home. In last Saturday’s meet there were 12 conference records broken and two tied, eight were broken by Westwood, four by Columbus, and each team tied one. In the eight and under races Westwood won both the girls* and boys’ events with Debbie Sunier and Steve Nichols. The 10 and under Westwood boys did an outstanding job when five boys took the first four places in all three individual events and won the relay. The five Westwood swimmers were Gary Kinkead, Tom Geiman, Mike Phelps, Tom Gray, and Randy Stegomiller. The Relay team set a new conference record.

Nancy O’Neal and Sandy Sunier led the Westwood 10 and under girls with victories in all their events. O’Neal won the freestyle, and tied the conference record in winning the Butterfly race, while Sunier won the backstroke. The winning Freestyle Relay was made up of O’Neal, Sunier, Diana Lippard, and Sandy’s sister, Debbie Sunier. The 11 and 12-year-old Westwood boys also won all the first places in their division with the freestyle relay team setting a new record. The team was composed of Dick Jacks, Joe Geiman, Tom Ridolfo, and Chip Sunier. Joe Geiman won the freestyle, and Jacks scored a double when he won both the backstroke and Butterfly races.
