Waterloo athletes have failed to win any medals at the Montreal Olympics to date but they have held their 06m against tougli inter- national competition. In the swimming pool where Canada has achieved its medals, Dave Heinbuch of Water- loo swam his fastest 200 metre race ever in the breastroke to finish fourth in the third heat. Only eight men in the 30 member field made it to the finals in the breaststroke. Hein- buch came 15th overall, seven seconds behind his heat winner. Another Waterloo swimmer, Jim Hett plac- ed third in his heat of the men's 200 metre freestyle to finish 22nd in a field of 55 swim- mers. Hett swam a time of 1:55:58 to finish behind Andrey Krylov of Russia and Graham Windeatt of Australia. Only eight swimmers made the finals in the event. Local athletes perform well at Olympics Earlier in Olympic competition, 18-year-old Hett was a member of the 4x200 metre relay team that was disqualified in its heat after Steve Pickell of Vancouver took off from the starting block before Canada's Bill Sawchuk touched the end of the pool. The disqualifica- tion was a disappointment for the team which finished second in the heat. Without the dis- qualification, the Canadian team would have made it into the finals. Hett, a grade 13 student at Bluevale collegi- ate, will now concentrate on training for the Canadian national swim competition August in Vancouver. Waterloo also has two representatives on Canada's men's basketball team. Bill Robinson and Jamie Russell, former UW basketball stars. are members of the team which has won four games and lost two.
