A young MWC men's swim team looks to duplicate past successes, such as three straight Capital Athletic Conference (CAC) titles. The Eagles aim to improve on last year's 5-6 dual-meet record, which was some­ what deceiving in that MWC faced the toughest sched­ ule in school history. The Eagles hope to carry over the late-season momentum started in February, when MWC swimmers eclipsed 13 of 18 school records at the CAC Championships here at Goolrick Pool.

Head coach Marc Brown believes this program can eventually approach the national success of the women's team. With returning CAC individual event champions Alex Inge (So./ Lynchburg, VA; 100 butter­ fly), Tim Selgas (So./Harrisburg, PA; 200 fly) and Scott Wagner (Jr./Burke, VA; 100/200 breaststroke) leading the squad, Mary Washington has the strength and potential to regain the CAC title this spring (second place in '94) and send a first-ever Eagle delegation to NCAA Nationals. Veterans Lee Lewis (Jr./Lynchburg, VA; like Inge, Selgas and Wagner an individual school recordholder), Stewart Gill (Sr./Richmond, VA), Cordis Carter (Jr./New Providence, NJ), Fred Nelson Qr./ Mechanicsburg, PA), Eric Earling (So./Edmonds, WA) and Stephen Smith (So./Stephens City, VA) add quality depth.

MWC perennially faces a challenging schedule, and this year is no exception. Division I Richmond joins Division III stalwarts Washington & Lee, Franklin & Marshall, Catholic and Gettysburg on the 1994-95 dual-meet slate.

"The team is young, but there is available experience and leadership among the upperclassmen, along with an abundance of talent from the younger swimmers," said Brown. 'These two ingredients could com­ bine to form a potentially outstanding team."
