BELMONT SHORES, CA., December 13> TOM Wilkens just loves to swim.<\/p>\n

Winter, summer, yards, meters, the former Stanford NCAA champ and Sydney bronze medalist in the 200 IM is truly indefagitable, competing in everything from relatively "pedestrian" meets to the Olympics and World Championships.<\/p>\n

And he usually wins too.<\/p>\n

This evening here at the Southern California Winter Invitational the 27-year-old Santa Clara Swim Club star won a pair of races, the 200 fly (1:48.71) and the 400 IM (3:51.09). His pr in the medley is a 3:43.96 that won him the gold at the 1998 NCAAs at Auburn and is still No. 2 all-time on the Cardinal list, fifth on the Pac-10 charts.<\/p>\n

The runner-up finisher in a pr 3:53.00, NOVA's promising 17-year-old Adam Hewko, who's also a talented water polo player, likely wasn't even born when Wilkens first dipped his toe in the water. The ex-Cardinal's still going strong and likely would like nothing better than to climax his career with a trip to Athens 18 or so months from now.<\/p>\n

Another graybeard who struck gold was former Auburn All-America freestyler Scott Tucker, now training with Coach Dave Salo's Irvine NOVA team. The 27-year-old ex-Tiger, whose 200 free pr is 1:35.53 for the 200 free from the Longhorn Invitational at Texas four years ago, won in a LOnghorn Invitational in Austin four years ago, won tonight in 1:37.65.
\n* * * * *
\nAcross the country in Fairfax, VA., site of the Joe Jacoby Winter Invitational, 23-year-old Masami Tanaka won the 100 breast in a pr 1:00.36. The Japanese record-holder in the lcm 50-100-200 breaststrokes, Tanaka's been training with Curl-Burke since last summer. She's an Olympic veteran and among the fastest women breaststrokers of all-time. In the 200 she ranks fourth and sixth (performers-performances) and in the 100 she's fourth all-time performer and 14th (performances) with her pr 1:07.27, a Japanese national record<\/p>\n
