...Elis had been counting on a win in the opening medley relay to start them to another victory. Hawkins placed freestyler Bill Zentgraf in the weak breaststroke position, and backstroker Eisenbrey swam freestyle, as the Yardlings won the race in 3:58.0, taking a full 8.7 seconds off the freshman record set by the regular medley relay team earlier in the season...
