The Lady Warriors’ “diving duo” of senior Julie Gunn and junior Dawn Firestone placed 13th and 14th, respectively, at the competition. Gunn's finish marked the second consecutive year that she has placed 13th at the state meet while Firestone's effort was her first trip to the finals. Heading into the competition, Gunn was seeded ninth while Firestone was 22nd. "Dawn dove very well and the girls finished out what has been a fine season for us,” said head coach Roger Karns. The team's 200-yard medley relay team of Krista Guimond, Sherry Payne, Lori Boles and Brandee Carlson swam well enough to capture 26th place in the state finals after being seeded in 29th position to begin the com-
