Betsy was the first to take flight into stardom, making her first Nationals in 1975 in the 100 fly. By the next summer she had dropped enough time to take 8th place in the same event, and then she went on to cop fourth place in the 200-meter fly a month later at the Olympic Trials...

Here was a Klaussen who could fall in the middle of a run and still cop sixth place, as he did at the giant slalom at Dartmouth last month. And then, three weeks ago, he took a 5th and a 12th in the slalom and giant slalom at Williams...
