There have been some great individual swimmers and some really goodteamsthathavecomethroughtheWolff-ZackinNatatoriumdoorsatUConn,butGoldbergfeelsthiscouldbeoneofthebest.

“Thisteamisnotrelyinganyonepersonandthatiswhatcouldmakethisteamsospecial,”saysGoldberg.“Wehavetalentfromtoptobottom,andwhileperhapswedon’thaveapotentialrecordholderineveryevent,wecanchallengeourrecordsin just aboutanyevent.When I lookatour lineup I seenoholes,noweaknessesandno liabilities.Of course, that infers that everyonehas todo their job in theirevents,performup to expectations and stayhealthy,but I think thisgroupwantstodojustthat!”

The undisputed leader of the team and co captain is senior Alex Davidson(Pointe-Claire,Que.).Oneof thehardestworkers ever for theHuskies,Davidsonownstherecordsinthe100-yardand200-yardbackstroke.HehasearnedAll-BIGEASTConferencehonorsandhashadoutstandingsuccessduringhiscareerathishomeCanadianNationals,finishinginthetopeightnationallyseveraltimes.

“AlexhashissightssetontheNCAAqualifyingmarkof1:44forthe200-yardbackstroke, andwhile verydifficult to achieve, Ibelievehe cango that fast,” saysGoldberg.

Equally hard working is fellow co-captain Tim Krompinger (New Fairfield,Conn.). “There are times I have to hold Tim back in his training so he can restenoughformeets,”saysGoldberg.

The third member of this class is Tomasz Sobek (Siemianowice Slaskie,Poland), a gifted breaststroker who has yet to reach his potential despite owningUConnrecords.NCAAtimesarewithinSobek’sreach.

Adam McNally (Leominster, Mass.) is from

neighboring Massachusetts and has quality potential inthebreaststroke.

“With new coaches, a challenging and difficultschedule and a talented team there is a lot of energyandoptimismaroundtheteamandpoolthisyear,”saysGoldberg. “I feel that TysonHurst and JanelleWignallAtkinson are great assistant coaches and UConn recordholder JohnHoganwill be an invaluable coaching assetsince he ‘knows the ropes’ so well and has a very highswimmingIQ.
