Take a tour of the Pretzel Bell or gaze into the showcases that line the circumference of the concourse of Crisler Arena and see the faces that make up the legends of Michigan athletics. From Fielding Yost to Cazzie Russell the names boast of a tradition long and strong in athletic excellence. But at Michigan, as at most schools in the country, that tradition has not included women's sports. The only female athlete at Michigan to have gained any recognition is Mikki King, a gold medalist in diving at the 1972 Olympics. Up to just two years ago women's intercollegiate ath- letics at Michigan were relegated to recreation and club sports. Only in 1974 were women's intercollegiate athletics 'brought under the auspices of the Department of Athletics. That move, in two short years has changed the complexion of women's sports at Michigan. A change that, in all likelihood,' will continue here as it has throughout the nation. Michigan now offers intercollegiate competition for women in basketball, field hockey, swimming and diving, synchronized swimming, tennis, volleyball, and gymnastics. Next year there is a good chance a women's track team will be organized. While women's athletics at Michigan has yet to approach either the! popular or financial support that has been generated by men's sports over the years it has made extensive gains in both, al- most overnight. Today, tomorrow, and Saturday Michigan hosts the Big Ten Women's Swimming and Diving Championships. While it may not create any spectacular hoopla, the affair is probably the biggest women's athletic event Michigan has ever hosted and' represents a real landmark for the evolution of women's sports at the University. However, Michigan's women's swimming team is a prime example of the transition of quality of women's athletics at Michigan. While Michigan offers no women's swimming scholar- ships, the team is increasingly being made up of women who have been recruited, lured by the fine swimming facilities and serious coaching and competition Michigan has to offer. The aim of Coach Stu Isaac's program is directed towards quality athletics and eventual national. recognition-like the men's program. "I think this is the way it should go," said the former Mich- igan varsity swimmer. "This is the first year that we've really hitting the recruiting." Isaac's goal is to win the Big Ten Meet this weekend and to have the squad be one of the top ten in the country. The Wolverines have to be favored in this meet as .they feature six first-class competitors: Debbie Brevitz. A junior from Battle Creek, Brevitz holds Michigan records in the 50 and 100-yard breaststroke and in the 100 IM. She was a four-time winner in last year's conference meet and was an All-American in three individual events and three relays. Chris Den Herder. A freshwoman from Holland, Den Herder already holds Michigan's record in the 200-yard backstroke at 2:15.00 and may' be, according to Isaac, one of the top eight performers in the country at that event. Kathy Knox. Team captain, and Michigan's only senior swimmer, the Erie, Pennsylvania, native is an All-American and conference record holder and defending champion in both the 200 and 400-yard freestyle. Katie McCully. A freshwoman from Kalamazoo, McCully already has set five Michigan individual records-in the 50, 100, 200, and 500 freestyle and the 200 IMand was a participant in the record-holding 400 free- style relay (along with Knox, Den Herder, and Kathy Lingen- berg) 'and 400 medley relay (along with Den Herder, Lin- genberg, and Laura Adamson). is Meeting Diving has been the exception to the rule in women's sports 1-Collingwood, Ont at Michigan as Coach Dick 2-Boyne Mountain Kimball has attracted outstand-Y By The Associated Press many as 16 points early in the outburst.
