The men's team placed 14th and the women's team placed 23rd — the first time a Miami women's team has been ranked in four years. The swimming and diving points are combined to determine national ranking. This year, there are five return ing male swimmers: lain Camp bell. Mike Bakinowski, Richard Cahalan and All-Americans Ricky Green and Keith Hayes. Tim O'Brien is a returning All-Ameri can diver. Keith Hayes, a sophomore from Massachusetts, placed sixth last year in the NCAA nationals. "We should be strong this year." said Hayes "We didn't lose too many seniors and we have a lot of good walk-ons." Campbell broke David Wilkie s 10- year-old breaststroke record and was expected to be an important element for UM this year. But, he will redshirt this year because he plans to return to Scotland in December to train for the Commonwealth Games As far as recruiting for this vear's team. Hodgson was pleased. Of the combined 36 men and women swimmers and divers, more than half (19) are freshmen. On the men's team, composed of 19 athletes, six of the 10 freshmen are walk-ons. There are three swimmers on partial scholarship: Scott Christie.
