4 Page 8 -The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, March 8, 1988 MEN TANKERS SET SIX CONFERENCE RECORDS Blue wins Big By TAYLOR LINCOLN For the third straight year, the men's swim team is the Big Ten T champion, defeating second-place Iowa by 79 points at last weekend's Big Ten championships in Indi- anapolis. In all, Michigan won 11 events, set six Big Ten meet records, and qualified 13 swimmers for this April's NCAA meet. "The kids who have NCAA po- tential were outstanding," Michigan coach Jon Urbanchek said. "(Also) our depth really helped us." THE MEET'S opening event set the tone for the weekend. First- year freestyler Scott Ryan swam a Big Ten meet record of 4 min- utes,18.52 seconds in the 500-yard freestyle time trials. He went on to win the final in the 500 freestyle and to take first-place honors in the 1,650 freestyle. "Ryan's 4:18 really got the guy's fired up, and they just took it from there," said Urbanchek. Freestyler Brent Lang - named Abbott Continued from Page 1 a land-mine explosion in Vietnam. Abbott was born without a right hand. "I think doing it with one hand contributed to it undoubtedly," Abbott said in an interview on ESPN last night. "But I hope my athletic ability had something to do with it. "If I can open any avenues for (handicapped) kids in Bay City, Michigan or Miami, Florida, then my playing baseball is all the more worthwhile, and I'm twice as proud. "I just hope I've contributed as much to my sport as they have to theirs." Other finalists for the Sullivan Award included Navy's basketball star David Robinson, trackster Greg Foster, who set two United States and one world record in high hurdles, and Scott Johnson, who won four gold and four silver medals in th Pan Am Games gymnastics competition. "I've been blessed with a great number of people but Jim is very special," said Middaugh. "Jimmy's done all this in just a couple of years, and spells how well he can do. I just hope it doesn't hinder his performance, but he's taking things in stride - he has no control over all the awards. "I think it caught him off guard." Abbott is expected to start against the University of Texas this weekend (ESPN). en title co-Big Ten swimmer of the year - may have swum the weekend of his life. The sophomore won the 50 freestyle, the 100 freestyle, and the 200 freestyle, setting Big Ten meet records in the latter two events. IN ADDITION, his time of 42.93 on the first leg of the 400 freestyle relay made him only the fourth swimmer in United States history to swim the 100 freestyle in under 43 seconds. The other three swimmers were Olympic gold medals winners. Breaststrokers Mike Barrowman and Jan-Erick Olsen finished first and second respectively in both the 100 and 200 breastroke. According to Urbanchek, they should be ranked one and two in the country heading into the NCAA meet. Another outstanding performance came from the 400 medley relay team, consisting of backstroker Alex Alvizuri, Olsen, butterflier Marty Moran, and Lang. Their time of .:15.14 eclipsed the standing Big Ten mark. They are currently ranked No. 1 in the nation. Alvizuri won both the 100 and 200 backstroke, setting a Big Ten record in the 200. Senior Mike Creaser was the de- fending champion in both events, but his training was slowed by an upper respiratory condition, which he battled for over two weeks in February. Still, Creaser was able to meet NCAA qualifying times. The Holl Truth BY JULIE HOLLMAN A horrendous nightmare. That's what the Michigan hockey team lived through Sunday night at Lawson Arena in Kalama- zoo. Western Michigan trounced the Wolverines, 10- 0, and eliminated them from the CCHA playoffs. Michigan head coach Red Berenson classified the defeat as the worst loss in his four-year reign. The game also marked one of Michigan's worst perfor- mances - a performance that saw the Wolverines suffer their third shutout of the season, the most for a Michigan team since 1943. FROM THE START, the Wolverines looked flat and unsteady. The defensive wall suffered from, as the Western score board indicated, "swiss cheese dis- ease," while at the other end the offensive attack ap- peared meek and unthreatening. Actually, the Michi- gan offense never truly became an offense since the action rarely stayed in the Western zone. Even the Michigan power play failed to test Western's goalie Bill Horn. At the end of one period, Michigan was lucky to be down by only two goals. The luck only lasted through the intermission, though. In the second period, the Broncos suffocated any chances for a Wolverine recovery. With only 1:32 gone in the frame, Western scored, increasing the lead to 3-0. After that, Michigan began to sag and the score began to soar. The second period ended at 5-0 with Michigan fans wondering were the team they knew had gone. THE BEATING only intensified in the third period as the Broncos made a mockery of the Wolver- ines. "You don't want to embarrass anyone or their program, but the puck just bounced our way," said Western coach Bill Wilkinson. Whether intent was there or not, Western made Michigan look bad, very bad. In the final period, the Broncos scored three goals, including a shorthanded empty-net goal in just under Icers' finale taints season of successes two minutes. They then added one more a minute later to cushion the lead even more. Michigan's door to Joe Louis Arena and the second round was slammed shut in a quick three minutes. But the nightmare continued. Three minutes later, as Michigan fans looked on with only one eye open, Western added the final nail to hammer in the 10-0 thrashing. "(Western) is not 10 goals better than Michigan," Berenson maintained. "I'm not even sure whether they're even better than us." Nevertheless, the Wolverines did lose, they looked worse, and they were humiliated. "A 10-0 loss is just as hard to take as a one-goal, down-to-the-wire loss because 10-0 makes us look so bad," said Rob Brown. THE HARDEST THING Michigan fans were forced to accept Sunday night was that all this ineffectiveness came in the most important game of the season and from a team that had accomplished so much. The 1987-88 Wolverines were the first Berenson team to finish the season with an above .500 record. They were the first Berenson team to finish above seventh place (fifth), the first to sweep Illinois- Chicago, the first to sweep Michigan State, and the first to win a playoff game. A major goal they didn't accomplish, however, was to win two. "We all know that we should have won and that we should be at Joe Louis. That's the only dark spot," said Brown. "Other than that I don't see why we can't look back on the highlights. "But then again, we have to take the bad things into consideration." Said Berenson: "I think we accomplished a lot this season. The real Michigan team showed up Friday and Saturday, not (Sunday). That was a shame." Yes, a real shame. WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE?
