Wouda, the Netherlands record-holder in both the 200- and 400-meter individual medley, became eligible to swim for the Wolverines just before break. He made his debut in the Stanford meet, which pitted the nation's top two teams against each other. "It was awesome (getting to swim with the team)," Wouda said. "I've been with the team since fall term. I would be at the pool but not get to swim. I finally felt like I was part of the team." At Stanford, Wouda finished second to Cardinal swimmer Derek Weatherford in the 200-yard IM. Weatherford was the national champion in the event last year. Wouda also won the 500-yard freestyle at Stanford and led off for the 400 freestyle relay that placed second. At California Saturday, Wouda won the 500 freestyle again and placed second in the 1000 freestyle . His time of 9:07.21 in the 1000 free set a new school record but was not enough to win the event or please Wouda. "I did OK (at the meets)," Wouda said. "I won the one event, but I personally feel I should have won the other one." RECORD BREAKING: Speaking of records, three Canham Natatorium records have been broken this season, all at the Speedo Collegiate Cup in December. Erik Namesnik broke Minnesota's Paul Nelson's 1990 record (3:51.50) by swimming a 3:50.74. The 200-yard medley relay team of Greg Gooch, Eric Wunderlich, Tom Hay, and Gustavo Borges (1:32.71) also broke a record set in 1990 by Oakland University (1:32.91). The third record broken was in the 200 backstroke finals by Michigan freshman Royce Sharp (1:46.60). NCAA BOUND: Michigan already has qualified one swimmer for the NCAA national championship meet in Indianapolis this coming March. Namesnik's record breaking 400 IM performance in the Speedo Collegiate Cup was good enough to qualify him for the meet in that event. Namesnik also met the NCAA consideration time in the 1650 freestyle. This paired with his qualification in the 400 IM will allow him to race the event at the NCAAs if he chooses. JUMPING FOR JOY: The men's diving team has gotten off to a splendid start. Alex Bogearts, Jeff Jozwiak, Abel Sanchez, Brad Lambert and Eric Lesser have all qualified for the NCAA diving zone meet in both the one- and three-meter springboard events. Over the weekend the divers swept by Stanford and California. At Cal, the divers finished one through four on both boards, and at Stanford, they took the top three positions on the one-meter and the first, second, and fourth spots on the three-meter board. HONORED: Namesnik was honored for his performance at the Speedo Collegiate Cup by being named Big Ten Swimmer of the month for December. The award was Namesnik's second such of his career. GOLDEN HELP: Gold medalist, world record holder, and former Michigan swimmer Mike Barrowman has returned to school to finish up his work on his degree. However, Barrowman has also been helping out with the team. Players who have verbally committed to Michigan: Pos.

Roosevelt 'M' cagers to tip off '93early from staff reports Michigan basketball fans will get an early look at their team next year when the Wolverines meet the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in the 1993 Tip-Off Classic at the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. The Classic, traditionally held the Saturday after Thanksgiving, will provide a preseason glance for the new-look Wolverines. Center Eric Riley, forward James Voskuil and guards Rob Pelinka and Michael Talley will be absent from the Michigan bench. And the Fab Five may be no longer, depending on whether forward Chris Webber and guard Jalen Rose decide to turn pro; fessional after the season. Thecon test will also mark the debut of guard Bobby Crawford, a recruit from Houston. Michigan will be making its third appearance in the 15-year history of the Classic. It lost to Arizona, 82-75, in 1989, the Wolverines' first game after their NCAA Championship, and defeated Georgia Tech, 49-44, in 1985. Georgia Tech, led by longtime coach Bobby Cremins, will boast a strong squad, including guard Travis Best, a Springfield native, forward James Forrest and guard Drew Barry. Iowa cager Street dies in car accident The Daily Iowan Chris Street, an Iowa junior and member of the Hawkeye basketball team, was killed in a car accident Tuesday night as he returned from a team meal in Iowa City. Wednesday's game against Northwestern, scheduled for 7 p.m. at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, was postponed. Saturday's game at Penn State is tentative. Sports information director George Wine said Street, who would have been 21 on Feb. 2, was return- ing to campus when his car collided with a dump truck at about 7 p.m. on Highway 1, north of I-80. Coach Tom Davis and his staff met with the team, which had been scheduled to practice, late into the night Tuesday. . Street, a 6-foot-8 forward from Indianola, Iowa, led 14th-ranked Iowa in rebounding with 9.5 per game and was scoring 14.5 points per contest. He was named the CBS co-player of the game in Saturday's loss at Duke after he led the Hawkeyes in scoring with 14 points and grabbed eight rebounds. Street also set the all-time Iowa record for consecutive free throws in the game at 34. Street, who was a business major, made an early commitment to Iowa while at Indianola High School, cit- ing fierce loyalty to the Hawkeyes. He was the Gatorade Circle of Champions Player of the Year, and a Hoop Scoop top 90 prospect who re- ceived letters from schools all over the country. But Street decided early to attend Iowa. "I got a ton of letters," Street told The Daily Iowan in 1991. "But I really couldn't tell who recruited me hard because I said that I wasn't in- terested. I was going to Iowa." Street was posting his best num- bers as a Hawkeye this season. Dur- ing the Duke game, CBS analyst Billy Packer said of Street: "There's a guy who could play in the NBA." l .-w SUMMER STUDY ABROAD INFORMATION FAIR THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1993 4:00 PM TO 6:00 PM MICHIGAN UNION, PENDLETON ROOM Come learn about the exciting options for studying on a University of Michigan sponsored program for the spring or summer of 1993.
