BIG TENS
Continued from page 8
a major force in the 100-meter back-
stroke. Senior Katherine Creighton
has had a great season and will
likely be a top contender in the
freestyle events.
Michigan also possesses two-
time all-American diver Lisa Crib-
ari, who should rank highly at the
Championships. The Michigan
coaching staff is expecting that she
will dive with the consistency she
has shown all year.

In preparation for the Big Ten
Championships, the Wolverines
have been focusing on fine tuning
their strokes, as well as working on
their speed.
"At the end of the season you try
to work on the little things,
Richardson said. "But right now it
comes down to the individual. If
they have prepared themselves both
mentally and physically the best as
they can, they will swim that way."
Today's events will include the
individual medley relay, the 500 and
50-meter freestyle and the 200-me-
ter individual medley. The eight

swimmers with the best times from
each event will advance to the finals
this evening. Eight consolation
swimmers are also eligible to com-
pete.
Competition will continue
through Saturday and Sunday. It's a
long weekend for the Michigan
swimmers and they'are experiencing
a wide spectrum of emotions.
"They are all feeling very ex-
cited, but also very tense," Richard-
son said. "This is the kind of situa-
tion where you want to remain as
focused as possible."

Men runners rested and ready

by Bruce Inosencio
Daily Sports Writer
Arriving on the heels of Iowa's
top political runner, Tom Harkin,
the men's indoor track team heads to
the corn belt this weekend for the
Central Collegiate Championships
held in Iowa City, Iowa. And while
Michigan coach Jack Harvey is not
promising a track and field of
dreams, he is confident the Wolver-
ines will be in contention.
"What we're trying to do at the
Central Collegiate is get in there
somewhere in the top three," Har-
vey said. "Eastern Michigan will
definitely be the favored team basi-
cally because of their sheer strength
in the shorter distances,"
Besides Eastern Michigan, the
other squads running Friday and
Saturday include Iowa, Purdue,
Western Michigan, Northern Iowa
and Notre Dame.

While Harvey is not looking
past this weekend, there is still the
notion of keeping everyone strong
for the Big Ten championships two
weeks down the road.
After sitting out last weekend's
meet, Dan Oden will be back to rep-
resent Michigan in the mile and pos-
sibly the 3,000-meters. Teammates
Tony Carna and Jim Finlayson were
also given a break from the Spartan
Relays, but both will return to
compete in the 5,000 and maybe the
distance medley relay.
Also absent from competition
last weekend was pole vaulter Brad
Darr. Darr was down in Blooming-
ton, Ind., last weekend in a meet
where he cleared 17 feet. After fac-
ing some difficulties in recent
weeks, Darr's latest success puts
him in good standing for this week-
end's competition. Darr is hoping to

get back to early season form where
he cleared 17'4".
Darr and high jumper Dan Red-
dan have the potential to claim big
points for the Wolverines, and Har-
vey is counting on their efforts, as
he has done all season.
Athletes that cannot be relied on
for points in Iowa City are sprinters
Mike Eccleston and Desmond
Howard. While Eccleston is experi-
encing back troubles and probably
will not be in action until the Big
Ten meet in East Lansing at the end
of February, Howard has yet to run
in a meet.
"Desmond has just been so busy
getting everything together with
banquets and meetings that it's
tough to get him ready to go," Har-
vey said. "At this point he's not in
shape for track and I really doubt if
he'll even compete in the indoor sea-
son."

Attention: Undergraduate
Engineering Students
1992 Landes Prize
$1,000.00
Undergraduate students currently registered in the Engineering College are
eligible to compete for the George M. Landes Prize ($1,000.00). This is an
award presented annually to an undergraduate student who demonstrates
excellence of both technical work and the presentation of that work in written
or graphic form. The prize is presented in memory of George M. Landes, a
1977 graduate of the Mechanical Engineering Department and a Ford Motor
Company engineer who was killed in an automobile accident in 1981.
To enter, a student must submit a single piece of technical work. This
presentation - written, graphic, or some combination of communication
media - can be a technical article, a design report, a piece of technical
journalism, or any other presentation of technical work. Submissions will be
evaluated for both their technical and communication skill. They should be of
professional quality, suitable for use in industry or for publication exactly as
submitted.
Students interested in entering should pick up detailed instructions from the
Technical Communication Program office, 111 TIDAL. Three copies of the
submission are due at that same office by 4:30pm on Monday, March 2, 1992.
