1976 National YMCA Awards & Recognitions: The Joseph G. Rogers Award: James R. Stocker The “Eastern Airlines” Outstanding Participant Award: Female: Wendy Stoeker Cedar Rapids, Iowa Male: John Grzeszczak Central Br, Greensboro, North Carolina
Reflections on Wendy Stoeker. “Our Angel without Wings and Arms” We were all astounded when an armless diver appeared to represent the Central Branch of the Cedar Rapids, Iowa YMCA. Meeting all the requirements she had earned the right to enter our 1976 National YMCA Diving Championship Meet. There she was, sure footed in her approaches, using her head going into her summersaults and twists, making very little splash as she entered the water clearly. People gasped and applauded as Wendy Stoeker, performed her way to 19 th place in the 1 Meter Diving event. Wendy was unanimously chosen as the Women’s Outstanding Participant. When Wendy mounted the award stand to receive her trophy, John Grzeszczak, the Men’s award winner, stood behind her extending his arm to receive the award bringing a tremendous applause and many tears of emotion. Wendy returned home to continue working on her diving five days a week. She attended the University of Florida, majoring in Occupational Therapy. She also continued her diving competing at the college level with fond hopes of making the Olympic Team. Now in her 40’s, Wendy is working as an Occupational Therapist at a hospital in Salisbury, Maryland. She also gives talks on spiritual motivation. One can be assured that Wendy is very effective!

National YMCA Swimming & Diving Committee Report: Chairman James R. Stocker.
You’ve all heard the gamut of stories “I’ve got some good news and some bad news…” We’ve got an awfully lot of good news and not so much bad news. Let’s look at the good news first.
We are extremely pleased to honor Red Silvia, Charlie McCaffree, Jim Counsilman and Sylvia Ruuska – Hall of Fame Honorees. These four very fine people have added so much to the YMCA Aquatic Program through the years. One only has to go back to thru the minutes of our National Aquatic Committee and our National Meet Programs of other years to see their names time and time again. Their contribution to our program has been immeasurable.
This marks the tenth anniversary of the Women’s Program on the national level. From 279 girls and 50 associations in 1967, we have grown to what you see this week. The Men’s Program has grown as well. The decade just finished marks a sharp growth, not only at the national level but at the regional and local levels as well. Each of you in your own way has contributed to this growth.
Our two programs, coaches and officials certifications, are going well! Both will continue to help upgrade competitive swimming in the YMCA program. The YMCA has the finest officials program available. Be proud of it and be a part of it.
We are deeply indebted to the Frost Company of Kenosha, Wisconsin who, through the YMCA, has donated 16 new starting blocks to the Hall of Fame and to Colorado Time Systems, who through the YMCA has donated the magnificent timing equipment being used for this meet. And of course we are always indebted to the Dolphin Corporation and Goldner Associates for their support to the council.
The final good news is the fact that our council continues to attempt to improve the program of competitive swimming and diving on regional and local levels. Coaches clinics are being planned on regional and state levels which will provide better accessibility at bigger savings. The first such clinic will be at Illinois State University in May. The featured speaker will be Peter Daland, whose USC team has won the NCAA two years in a row.
And now…the bad news. Your council continues to strive to improve communications. As I said last year, it’s better, but still not there yet. We continue to put communications high on your priority list. Get involved… pass along information… help the next guy. To be informed is to be involved. The word is there, but it needs to get to the kids… help it along.
Finally… this is my last report as Chairman. I take this opportunity to thank all of you, coaches, officials, parents, and most important of all, the swimmers and divers for your support. Y swimming and diving has come a long way. I’m happy to have been a small part of it. It will continue to grow in the coming years, with your loyalty and hard work.
