By STEVE COHEN Special to the Daily AMES, IOWA - This past weekend's NCAA wrestling championships left Michigan with optimistic feelings. Ranked eighth entering the tournament, the Wolverines finished sixth. With eight of their top ten wrestlers returning, Michigan left Iowa entertaining national championship ambitions for next year. Michigan's 62.5 total points trailed Penn St. (71.5), Oklahoma St. (80.5), Iowa St. (83.75), Iowa (85.5), and national champion Arizona St. (93.0). ARIZONA STATE'S first place finish was somewhat surprising because no Arizona St. wrestler won an individual title. The Sun Devils victory marked the first time in 14 years that a school outside the state of Iowa won the national championship. Michigan qualified eight wrestlers for the champi- onships, but were only able to send seven, as 126- pound Dave Dameron injured his back in the Big Ten championships. Of the seven Michigan wrestlers at the nationals, four earned All-American status by placing in the top eight in their respective weight class. Larry Gotcher finished fifth at 142, John Fisher third at 134, Joe Pantaleo second at,158, and Mike Amine second at 167. THE WOLVERINES William Waters (118 pounds), Sam Amine (150 pounds), and heavyweight Bob Potokar did not place in the top eight. John Fisher, two time Big Ten champ, was upset in the second round by Iowa's Joe Melchiore, but he bounced back by winning his next four matches to win the consolation bracket and finish third. Melchiore finished second to Oklahoma State's John Smith, who has won his last 90 matches. "I should have attacked (Melchiore) on my head more. I was unfamiliar with his style. This whole tournament makes me hungrier," said Fisher. An even bigger surprise than Melchiore was Gotcher. The unseeded 142 pounder quickly drew attention with his aggressive style and innovative moves. He finished fifth, but it could have been higher. Leading 3-2 in his semi-final match against Sean O'Day of Edinboro, Gotcher - who was nearly out of bounds - paused as a whistle sounded from a nearby match. He was then taken down. Likewise, Pantaleo let his wrestling speak for itself. Seeded sixth, Pantaleo made it to the championship of the 158 pound weight class. To get there, Pantaleo had to beat third ranked Dan St. John of Arizona St. and eleventh ranked. Phil Brown of Maryland. IN THE FINALS, Pantaleo was pinned at 1:14 of the first round. "I was disappointed with the way I wrestled," said Pantaleo. "If I had wrestled the way I wanted to, I feel it would have been different." Similarly Mike Amine had an outstanding tourna- ment until his last match. The unseeded Amine defeated three seeded wrestlers, including Jim Gressley of Arizona St., whom he pinned in a tournament record 35 seconds in the semi-finals. In the finals he was beaten 8-2 by Mike Van Arsdale of Iowa St. "I came very close to achieving one of my dreams. I am pleased but not satisfied. I fell short in the finals-I didn't react as I did in previous rounds," said Amine. i THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN * * * * EIGHTH INTERNATIONAL AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY CONFERENCE MARCH 22 AND 23, 1988 PUBLIC FORUM (1:00-5:00 PM) MARCH 22, TUESDAY (RACKHAM AUDITORIUM) THE AUTO INDUSTRY AHEAD: WHO'S DRIVING J.
