Page 10-The Michigan Daily -Friday, February 23, 1990 'M' SWIMMERS VIE FOR FINAL TOURNAMENT SPOTS Tanker by Michael Bess and Jared Entin Daily Sports Writers After winning the Big Ten Championships there is only one thing left for the Michigan wom- en's swimming and diving team: the NCAA championships. And at this weekend's Michigan Open, the Wolverines will attempt to help their NCAA outlook by qualifying more swimmers for the championships. Co-captain Amy Honig summed up the prospects for this weekend by saying, "It's filled with opp- ortunity." At the Open, the only swim- mers in attendance will be from Michigan, Eastern Michigan and local high schools. go for But don't expect the team spirit to drop this weekend just because there is no visible opponent. Last weekend, when a lone Michigan swimmer swam a time trial in an attempt to qualify, the whole team stood around the pool and cheered. Qualifying more swimmers will help the team in attaining their goal of finishing in the top four at the NCAAs, which take place in three weeks in Austin, Texas. Already Michigan has qualified six swimmers and three relay teams to the NCAA meet. Last year the team only qualified five individuals and was still able to finish sixth. But this year Michigan isn't sat- isfied with six qualifiers. "I think we will have four more NCAAs NCAA qualifiers, and a lot more personal bests," Honig said. Stefanie Leibner and Lisa Ander- son are both close to qualifying in the 100 and 200-yard backstrokes. Michelle Swix is also a premier contender with hopes of qualifying in the 200 freestyle. Jennifer Love also was close to qualifying last week but was overcome by fatigue, according to coach Jim Richardson. Once a swimmer qualifies for NCAAs in one event, they are allowed to swim in up to three events, including relays at the championships. " Members of the Michigan's men team will also see weekend action. Six swimmers will be vying for two spots at next week's 'M' faces final Big Ten foes without Amine I L.iebner Big Ten Championships. "None of the guys who are swimming in Big Tens are com- peting," assistant coach Mark Noet- zel said. "What you'll see are the guys who haven't yet made it for next week. It is primarily fresh- men." The dual meet will start at 6 p.m. Saturday at Canham Nata- torium and will continue Sunday morning at ten and again at four. by Jeff Sheran Daily Sports Writer Michigan closes out its confer- ence wrestling season this weekend, but for one Wolverine, the season has already ended. 158-pounder Sam Amine, who was expected to draw the top seed at the Big Ten Championships March 10, underwent surgery earlier this week to remove torn cartilage in his knee. He will miss this weekend's dual meets with Ohio State (Sat- urday, 7:30 p.m., Varsity Arena) and Wisconsin (Sunday, 2 p.m.), as well as the Big Ten and a shot at the NCAA championships. Amine (28-4-1 overall, 4-0-1 Big Ten) suffered the injury against Iowa State two weeks ago but continued to wrestle with little difficulty until he aggravated the knee in practice last week. "He's a big loss," coach Dale Bahr said. "Sam was a good bet for all-American, and he was looking for a national championship. Our lineup suffers without him." Michigan (8-3, 5-1) will field slightly different lineups because of Amine's absence. Filling the void at 158 will be Larry Gotcher, but Bahr has yet to choose between first-year redshirt James Feldkamp or sophomore Steve Benninger to replace Gotcher at 150. Feldkamp competed at 150 W against Indiana, but has not practiced all week because of a nagging shoul- der injury. Either Wolverine will face stiff competition against Wisconsin (9-7- 1, 2-3-1), who sends seventh-ranked Matt Demaray to the mat. If Ben- ninger winds up competing against Demaray in his first dual meet this season, Bahr is confident he will perform well. "Steve isn't the average control- led wrestler," Bahr said. "His style would probably give Demaray fits." On the other hand, Ohio State (18-5, 3-3) is softer in the middle of its roster. "They're real tough at 118 through 142," Bahr said. "We'll need a win there to throw them off track." Of those classes, rookie phenom Joey Gilbert faces the toughest weekend competition. The 134- pounder squares off against Buckeye stalwart Mark Marinelli Saturday, and then Wisconsin's Steve Hoffman Sunday. Hoffman beat Gilbert, 4-0, at the Northern Open in November. All three wrestlers seek the third seed at the Big Ten tournament. "This weekend will decide it for good," Badger coach Andy Rein said. "134 is one tough weight class." ___j Michigan lands winning coach from North Carolina Continued from page 1 ons.

Oklahoma rocked the Michigan baseball team early and cruised to a 9-4 victory in the first game of the UNLV Desert Classic yesterday. The Sooners hit Wolverine starter Russell Brock for three runs in the top of the first inning and added another in the second. Oklahoma's first inning explos- ion came off Andy Fairman's second career home run, a three-run shot. Two other Sooners cracked homers on the afternoon as Bryan Grejtnak and ex-Wolverine Rich Samplinski got into the act Michigan's four runs came on only three hits, thanks to the pitch- ing of Sooner ace Kevin King. King upped his record to 2-0, striking out seven and walking only two in nine innings of work. Luuay wiae.,ai LI'.y lce uA., iseIl azu then host UNLV.
