john campbell has the story. make sure you race from the time you hit the block until you touch the wall. we're going 500 but doing the burst swim in it. get in there dan duclos is wrapping up a long coaching career at dubuque senior. and there is an irony to his position. senior doesn't have a pool. yeh, we have one here at hempstead. for 36 years dan was the rams boys and girls coach, the girls coach, and for the last ten years, the boys coach. at the end of the season,when you start resting them their energy level skyrockets. he has done a lot for me and anyone else who has swam in dubuque. coach is an iconic figure here for senior. he has been here so long. everybody looks to him as god. possibly a slight exaggeration , but duclos has been named mvc and state coach of the year many times and he is a member of the swim coaches hall of fame. come on andrew! i have mellowed. i used to get upset if we got beat. it doesn't bother me other things are more important than winning and losing. it is hard to win a state

here is john campbell with more on the hawk's loss last night to the badgers. the mighty "i" took one to the gut wednesday night from bucky badger. they hit some big shots at in this one. iowa came out of the halftime break with a 7-0 run for a could not maintain, in p pt because of 14 turnrners, some of them unforced. you can't do that against good teams, turn the ball over unforceably. you lose games. the real achilles heel was their shooting. the hawks hit a paltry 27 percent from the field in the second half. they hit timely threes and we didn't. that's what it really comes down to. on the positive side was the rebounding for am woodbury. he cleared the board 18 times. i don't think i have ever seen a box score where a guy got ten offensive rebounds. it wasn't good enough. it was tied at t 6 all when bronson koenig hit one of his 4 threes and the lead never changed hands again. the final was 67-59. wisconsin has won 9 of its last dropped three of its last four. we'll be fine. still a lot of season left. we have three regular season games left. we are still
