0 Page 12 - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, March 16, 1989 Wrestlers to shoot for title in Oklahoma City BY STEVEN COHEN This year's national wrestling tournament, which begins today in Oklahoma City, promises to be the most wide-open tournament in years. As many as six teams are in contention for the national title: Iowa, Oklahoma State, 'Arizona State, Iowa State, Michigan, and Penn State. Though second-ranked Oklahoma State qualified the maximum ten wrestlers for the tournament, the team is not a heavy favorite, as it lacks wrestlers who are considered candidates to win their weight classes. No.1 ranked Iowa is always a threat, having won nine of the last eleven titles. But the Hawkeyes, which owed its victory in the Big Tens to some surprising perform- ances, are certainly not clearcut favorites. THE WOLVERINES, who finished in sixth place last season, return six wrestlers with NCAA tournament experience. Four of the six earned All-American recognition, leaving Michigan with the most returning NCAA points in the country. But the Wolverines will have to put forth a better effort than they did at the Big Ten Championships, where they placed third behind Iowa and Minnesota. "We had some good individual performances but as a team we really didn't wrestle our best," said 158- pounder Joe Pantaleo, who finished second at the Big Tens to Minnesota's Gordy Morgan. "It depends on which Michigan team decides to show up. If we wres- tle like we did at Big Tens - no, JOSE JUAREZJDaIky Michigan's NCAA qualifiers.

LAST SEASON, Iowa wrestled to a second-place finish by having three finalists. Michigan aims to ac- complish a similar feat, with its four returning All-Americans - 134- pounder John Fisher, 142-pounder Larry Gotcher, Pantaleo, and 167- pounder Mike Amine. "My gut feeling is that it will take a team with at least one or two national champs to win it," Mich- igan coach Dale Bahr said. "Two national champs and three All- Americans can win it because there are so many teams in contention." Women's swimmers aim for top 10 position BY ERIC LEMONT It's the post-season and, of course, pools are involved. But don't pick Michigan to finish in the final four. And don't look toward Illinois as the favorite - they weren't invited to this tournament. Texas, Florida and Stanford will battle for first place at the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships this weekend in Indianapolis. "On paper, I don't think we're strong enough to go top five, but finishing in the top ten is very realistic," said Michigan head coach Jim Richardson of his 7-0 Wolverines. "Our goal is perfectly simple," he said. "We're just going to try and swim fast. We really have no control over what other people do." Roughly 60 of the 200 Division I swimming schools had swimmers qualify for the meet, but only a small percentage of them had enough swimmers qualify to challenge for a high team score. Michigan is well represented with 12 swimmers and 2 divers attending the championships. MICHIGAN'S best chance for a first place finish is Ann Colloton; who is seeded first in the 200-yard breaststroke. While the national record of 1 minute, 11.4 seconds might be out of reach, Colloton hopes to improve on her 1:14.0 mark from last season's meet. "I want to do my best and to go faster than I did last year. If I do that I have a good chance of winning," Colloton said. "And if I win, I want to win impressively." Michigan's finest swimmer throughout the season, Gwen DeMaat, will be racing in up to 6 events though her main goal is to do well in the 500 freestyle and the 400 individual medley. DeMaat feels she has "an outside chance" of winning the medley but will face tough competition from Stanford's Michelle Griglione and Florida's Julie Gorman. Richardson's main concerns surrounds the emotion state of his team. "This is an odd year in the sense that they've been the same emotionally throughout the season. But I think that our enthusiasm will be there once the meet starts," he said. Colloton also feels the team will be ready mentally for championship swimming. "I know we'll put it together," she said. "We always do." Gotcher, this year's Big Ten champ, ranks fourth nationally. He breezed to the conference title, including a 10-3 decision of seventh- ranked Stacy Richmond. Last season Gotcher placed fifth. Amine, who has been beset by knee and shoulder injuries this season, finally appears healthy. Last year's NCAA runner-up, Amine took fifth at the competitive Big Tens. Amine's shoulder injury seems to be a thing of the past. "He's looked incredible in practice lately," Pantaleo said.
