'M' divers shine
By JON MORELAND
Michigan's national diving prominence was given a boost
at the U.S. Olympic Trials last week when three Wolverine
divers qualified for the International team. The trials for the
squad were held in Austin, Texas.
The three divers who made the team are Barb Weinstein,
who placed second in the ten-meter platform, and Kevin
Machemer and Chris Seufert, who bagged thirds in the men's
and women's three-meters, respectively.
Michigan diving coach Dick Kimball, who is also the
coach of the would-be Olympians, was pleased with the
Wolverine group. "Of the three, we thought Barb had the best
chance," said the coach."She's competed internationally
before and was one of the favorites in this meet.
"We knew Kevin and Chris were in the class of the other
divers, too," he continued. "They just lacked experience in
this big of a meet, but they were great. They did a helluva
Wefnste job."
PinsteWhat's on the docket for the team now that politics has
. 2nd at Olympic Trials taken its toll on the Olympic Games? They will keep busy by

at Trials
competing in Japan for two weeks in early August and then
coming back home for the National meet, before they travel
to China, where they will be through September 11.
With all of the other international competition in front of
them, one might think that the athletes won't miss the Olym-
pics all that much.
Not true, says Kimball, who coached the U.S. contingent
in Munich in 1972. "There's no substitute for the Olympics.
None of these other meets even compare. We've just got-to
adjust the goals we've set and do our best in the other
meets."
It's not too hard to guess Kimball's feelings about his
crew's absence from Moscow next week. "Politics and sports
should not be mixed," he maintains with a great degree of
emotion. "The athletes are the ones who suffer the most. It's
too bad tht the situation came to this, but there's not a thing
we can do about it. That's the way it is, and we just have to
accept it."
They may be of little consolation, but the team's trips to
Japan and China will help at least a little as the swimmers
"accept" the unfortunate situation.
