Stott.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">While the Masters may claim to be \u201can event unlike any other,\u201d Illinois high school swimming has a major all its own. Tomorrow, two venerable suburban Chicago teams square off for local supremacy. In a rivalry that dates to 1918 and has run annually with the exception of 1934 and 1935, New Trier and Evanston will battle for dual meet bragging rights for the 100<\/span><sup><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">th<\/span><\/sup><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The two schools can stake a legitimate claim to the oldest continuous high school rivalry in the nation. Evanston first fielded a team in 1908, New Trier in 1912. Research with NISCA, ISHOF and various sources has failed to unearth a longer standing continuous competition. Even Northeast prep powerhouses like Andover, Exeter and Deerfield fall slightly short.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Evanston, the meet host, has planned an assortment of events including a luncheon and reception to mark the occasion but the real focus will once again be in the pool. New Trier, once known as Indians and now Trevians, holds a 62-36-1 <\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">edge over the Wildkits. The fact that New Trier is the reigning Illinois boys state champion (Evanston was 14<\/span><sup><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">th<\/span><\/sup><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">) means nothing as the teams gather to do battle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Recent history has favored the Trevians who have won the last 13 meets and are 16-1-1 since 2001. New Trier has won eight state championships in the period as well as NISCA national public school (2009 \u2013 2012) and <em>Swimming World<\/em> mythical titles (2007, 2012). Evanston\u2019s last state championships came in 2001 (national public school crown as well) and 2005. Historically New Trier has won 24 boys state crowns had 19 seconds and nine thirds. Evanston has seven titles, nine seconds and 13 thirds to its credit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Both schools have been a proving ground for college programs and in some cases international recognition. As an example, the Wildkits <strong>Dick Hanley<\/strong> was an Olympic silver medalist in Melbourne and 7x NCAA All-American. Butterflyer <strong>Fred Schmidt<\/strong>, a world record-holder in the 100 meter fly before entering college, won Olympic gold and bronze in 1964. His Indian teammate <strong>Dave Lyons<\/strong> also swam in Tokyo. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">In thinking about the competition between Evanston and New Trier, my first thought was about how young we were and how intense it was,\u201d says Schmidt. \u201cIn\u00a0 greater reflection after a long period of time and\u00a0by thinking of it in hindsight,\u00a0it made me realize\u00a0 of how much better swimmers it made each of us from both schools.\u00a0 In my life I have found that motivation and drive does not always come from inside someone, but often needs the help of a strong rivalry or other outside stimulus to make one work harder than you normally might have. The motivation and intensity of such a rivalry helps everyone to train and prepare that much harder, which in the end not only made all of us better athletes, but better\u00a0individuals,\u201d says Schmidt, a lawyer, former SEAL team member who opened the capsule\u00a0after the Apollo 15 splashdown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I\u2019m not sure our kids really understand how fierce this rivalry once was,\u201d says current Trevian coach <strong>Josh Runkle<\/strong>. It\u2019s been a while since Evanston was really good, but they always swim well against us. I really like their coaches and get along with them really well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>Kevin Auger<\/strong> first became head coach at Evanston in 1996 \u201cwhen the rivalry was still fierce,\u201d he says. \u201cI downplayed it somewhat in order to focus more on placing at State and I believe New Trier did as well. <strong>Mark Onstott<\/strong>, then NT coach, and I became good friends over the next 10-20 years before he retired. Ours was not a bitter rivalry but a rivalry borne of respect and a desire to be the best in the State,\u201d says Auger. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I got there in 1994 and we had not beaten Evanston in a dual meet in six years. It was very much an old school, bitter rivalry,\u201d says Onstott. \u201cI just walked into it and had no idea. In Cedar Rapids, I\u2019d had a rivalry with my Kennedy team against Jefferson, but it was nothing like this. It was an ongoing problem going back to <strong>Dave Robertson<\/strong> and <strong>Dobbie<\/strong> <strong>Burton<\/strong>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Before this era of good feelings memories are rife with competitive shenanigans legendary on the North Shore aquatic scene. At no time was the relationship between the two schools more toxic than when Burton (Evanston, 1948-1985) and Robertson (New Trier, 1953-1976) ruled their roosts. Both were former Michigan swimmers under <strong>Matt Mann<\/strong> and both loved to win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">From a socioeconomic perspective New Trier, based in more affluent Winnetka, had an advantage. The school\u2019s eight lane, 25 yard indoor pool had six diving boards, two high four low, and spectator seating for 1200. Burton referred to New Trier as \u201cenemy of the north,\u201d says his son Patrick and the pool as the \u201ccrystal palace.\u201d In contrast Evanston, until the fall of 1958, swam at the McGaw YMCA, a four lane \u201ctile box,\u201d where Burton effectively trained his athletes by instituting circle swimming. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">My father was always swimming upstream against those guys,\u201d says <strong>Patrick Burton<\/strong>. Despite a perceived disadvantage, in one 20-year period Evanston finished in the top three at the state meet. As for his father\u2019s relationship with Robertson, \u201cI would characterize it as <strong>Bo Schembechler<\/strong> versus <strong>Woody Hayes<\/strong>. It had the same feel. Everything between New Trier and Evanston was competitive. My dad was a competitor.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The lengths to which each would go to win a meet was storybook stuff. One meet at Evanston the Wildkits donned swim fins for the competition. \u201cRobertson, well-schooled in the high school rule book, took exception and began a lengthy filibuster with the meet referee,\u201d says Onstott \u201cwhile sending his assistant coach back to New Trier for their fins.\u201d Finally, the meet commenced with both teams deciding to swim sans fins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">On another occasion Evanston had swimmers doing running starts on relays. Upon seeing that Robertson instructed a team manager to stand in front of the door from which the Evanston athletes were emerging to quell the fast start. Once an Evanston manager visited New Trier and checked the Indian lineup posted on the team bulletin board. The next year Robertson pinned up a false lineup after instructing his varsity swimmers to come to the pool for the real thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Robertson could be an instigator as well. Evanston swim historian <strong>Chuck Fargo<\/strong> recalls \u201cMy freshman year we had a frosh meet at New Trier but there were no officials.<\/span><\/span> <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">So Dave became ref, starter, head judge, etc. and loaded both his relays with his frosh stud (Tom\u00a0 Hempstead, 1966 Indiana letterman). We still won both relays and the meet,\u201d <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">says Fargo with satisfaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Onstott remains in swimming as the current NISCA president and will be in attendance Friday night when the centennial meet takes place. He credits Auger with helping to bring civility and class to the proceedings. \u201cPrior to Kevin\u2019s arrival it was close to physical stuff at times, it was not good. With Kevin involved it became a very civil situation, very intense and competitive. The rivalry has become more friendly,\u201d says Onstott also buoyed by the fact that some of the athletes swim for the same club teams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">There are so many people who have been touched by the Evanston-New Trier rivalry,\u201d says Patrick Burton, \u201cso impactful that it remains with them until they go to the grave.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The rivalry is in other words \u2014 life and death.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Michael J.
