Crisman ends Michigan career
in usual fashion: as a champion
By Steve Jackson
Daily Sports Writer
Michigan swimmer Jen Crisman
accomplished something that few
athletes can. She went out as a
champion.
After leading the Wolverines to
their 13th Big Ten Title and an 18th
-place finish at the NCAA Charpi-
onships in her senior season,
Crisman had one final mountain to
climb - international competition.
Last week she led a contingent of
Michigan swimmers to the World
University Games in Beijing, China.
When the dust settled, Crisman
had three medals around her neck.
She competed in five different
events, winning a gold medal as part
of the United States' 400-meter
freestyle relay, a silver in the 400-
meter medley relay and a bronze in
the 100-meter freestyle. Crisman
posted lifetime bests in all five
events.
"She swam really well," Michigan
coach Jim Richardson said. "This
was the last meet of her life, and she
ended things on a great note."
Her career as a swimmer may be
over, but she will still be able to be
seen swimming hard in'Canham
Natatorium.
Crisman will be a member of the
water polo team this fall, while con-
tinuing her postgraduate education
at Michigan.
Crisman is anxiously awaiting the
beginning of the water polo season.
She was not able to compete much
last season due to her swimming
commitments.
The Wolverines' other representa-
tive at the World University Games
was senior Lindsay Carlberg, who
placed sixth in the 200-meter back-
stroke.
"Lindsay did great - this was her
first time competing overseas,"
Richardson said. "This should really
help her confidence for next year."
Richardson debated making the
trip himself, but when he saw the
price of the ticket he opted to stay at
home.
"This is a great life experience for
the girls," Richardson said. "It's not
every day that you can visit China
and the Great Wall."
Michigan takes great pride in
placing swimmers in international
events.
"That was our No. 1 goal from
day one," Richardson said. "That
was more important than Big Tens
or the NCAA Championships. I'm
happy - we met our goals by send-
ing Jen and Lindsay."
The journey begins anew for the
Wolverines in October. Michigan
will travel to face Florida in a dual
meet on the 19th and in a relay meet
the following day.
Senior breaststroker and medley
swimmer Andrea Kurrle and Carl-
berg will serve as captains during
the upcoming season.

baseball," Lloyd Hill said from his home
just outside Boston. "My recommenda-
tion all summer was, unless they came
up with something lucrative, to get his
degree.'
The elder Hill also said the best-case
scenario would be for his son to com-
plete his third year of school and then
sign after next year's draft, leaving him
with fewer credits to earn after turning
pro.
After June's draft, Hill pitched in the
Cape Cod league, which has produced
prime-time major leaguers such as
Boston's star, Nomar Garciaparra. Hill
had a 1-2 record with a 1.91 ERA in 33
innings over the summer.
"I thought pitching (in the Cape Cod
League) would help me out a lot," Hill
said.
Former Michigan pitcher and team-
mate Bobby Wood left after his junior
year to sign with the New York Yankees
after being selected in the 24th round of
last June's draft.
Jen Crisman has excelled in Canham Natatorium, and leaves the swimming world
with a plethora of accolades. She will now try her hand at water polo.

Sean Elliott's playing
days over for sure

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Former
San Antonio Spur Sean Elliott refuses
to say he's retiring, but he made it
clear yesterday his playing days are
probably over.
"I'm not going to sit here and
announce that," said the 33-year-old
forward who will be one of the team's
television analysts. Elliott battled
back from a kidney transplant in 1999
to keep playing.
"If something pops up, something
that's just extraordinary to make me
leave the microphone, then I may
jump at that opportunity," he said.
His two-year contract includes a
clause that allows him to return to the
court. But he acknowledged that
probably won't happen. He said he
didn't even play basketball this sum-
mer, spending more time on his golf
game.

I'll be behind the mike," he said.
"The longer you sit out, the tougher it
is to come back and play. Everybody
knows that.
"There's a lot of me that still wants
to play. Until that part of me decides
that I really don't want to play, it's
going to be tough on me," he said.
Even though Elliott refused to say
the word, others who have followed
his career consider him retired.
"A lot of people thought that Sean's
retirement would come with his kid-
ney replacement," said Lute Olson,
Elliott's college coach at Arizona.
"He was very determined at that point
to show that it (his return to the NBA)
could be done and make a statement
for anyone that would face it in the
future."
Elliott has spent 11 of his 12 years
in the NBA with San Antonio. He
earned $5.2 million last season in the
final year of a six-year deal, but he
most likely would have had to take a
pay cut to keep playing with the
Spurs because of salary cap concerns.
Agent Armando Rios said this
week that Elliott turned down several
opportunities with other teams to
keep playing. He did not identify the
teams.
Elliott said he wasn't waiting to
hear from any particular team.
"I want to stay in San Antonio. If
there was a chance of me playing
somewhere else, it was going to have
to be somewhere real close," he said.
"I don't want to leave here right
now."
Elliott served on the Spurs' radio-
TV crew in 1999-00 while recuperat-
ing from his kidney transplant. He
later did free-lance work as a studio
analyst for TNT during the NBA
playoffs.
"I'm excited about it," Elliott said
of his new contract. "I had fun with it
two years ago and I'm really going to
commit a lot of myself to it."
Limited by shoulder and knee
injuries, Elliott lost his starting posi-
tion to Danny Ferry and played just
19.9 minutes a game, averaging 7.9
points last season.
For his career, Elliott averaged 14.2
points and 4.3 rebounds a game and
was an All-Star in 1993 and 1996.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Ains-
ley Battles is gone but clearly not
forgotten in the Pittsburgh Steel-
ers' dressing room, where there
still is a locker with his name-
plate above it.
Apparently, getting some
inside-the-Steelers locker room
information is one of the reasons
why the Jacksoville Jaguars
signed Battles barely a day after
the Steelers released him.
The Steelers don't think it's
merely coincidental the Jaguars
picked up Battles the same week
the teams play in Jacksonville,
"fnd some of them are't amused
by the move.
"They signed our Ainsley Bat-
tles," linebacker Earl Holmes said
yesterday. "The guy got a job and
good for him. He was a teammate
last year, but now he's the enemy.
"After the game, I'll shake his
hand but until then it's a war ...
and he's on the other side."
Jaguars coach Tom Coughlin
has a track record of such espi-
onage. He once signed former
Steelers quarterback Jim Miller
before a Steelers-Jaguars game
only to cut him the day after the
game.
In 1998, the Jaguars signed
tight end Troy Sadowski after the
Steelers let him go. They also
have signed former Steelers prac-
tice squad players.
Coughlin doesn't deny he
hopes to gain some useful infor-
mation from Battles.
"That's old NFL stuff," Cough-
lin said. "We saw him (Battles)
on film. We liked him. Now that
we have him here, we'll ask him
some questions."
The Jaguars may be wondering
about any wrinkles in new offen-
sive coordinator Mike Mularkey's
system that Battles saw during
training camp but the Steelers
didn't expose during the presea-
son.
Even if Battles leaks informa-
tion he was absorbing a week ago
as a Steelers player, several Steel-
ers said they welcome the chance
to open with Jacksonville.
"Ainsley Batt-les is a good safe-
ty but, at the same time, Jack-
sonville has been picking up
people trying to get iformation,
safety Lee Flowers said. "We
don't know what that is. I hope
Ainsley Battles gives them what-
ever tips they need.
"Jacksonville has played us
enough to' know what we're
doing. It's not like we have any-
thing to hide."
A year ago, the Steelers shook
off an 0-3 start to win at Jack-
sonville 24-13. It was the only
time in they have dorie so since
the Jaguars joined the NFL: But
Jacksonville returned the favor by

about two thirds of those who became pregnant wil do so in about 12 months; about 83% of
those who become preanrt will 0o so in about 15 months; and about 93% of those who become
prpegnant will do so n about i8 rnonths after their last inecton. The length of time you use
