4B - The Michigan Daily - SportsThursday - September 6, 2001 4 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. Hill almost an Angel HILL Continued from Page 1B 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. f , , .n f f ,r . ;.. r.

A 11i \ -- I- I- All A ~ £ ® 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 envision really. this whole year 3 Double 4" DOUDie Prints Premium Prints ONLY Processing $2.9 99 $49 f Applies to develop and print orders fomC41rocess lcalo pdnt ilmDoes not aplyto !9 S r P recesggSe trefrd %% ' " }." ,c s,~,r1 ;; :/'3rr.;'' ,'}":a . %"r, rr ,%"r, :,; :~ri.'

"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. On the Hill Here's a look at Hill's numbers in his two years as a Wolverine: FRESHMAN YEAR (2000): E.R.A. W-L IP BB K '9.23 1-4 40 42 53 SOPHOMORE YEAR (2001: E.R.A.

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 A A Taste of Wall Street inLivonia, West Bloomfield and Auburn Hills!
