Women tankers garner academic honors

At a time when a barrage of nega-
tive publicity has bombarded Michi-
gan athletics, leave it to one of the
school's most successful programs -
the women's swimming and diving
team - to provide a little relief.
The College Swimming Coaches
Association of America (CSCAA)
named Michigan's squad to their All-
Academic team. As a team, the Wol-
verines ranked 18th nationally with a
3.168 grade point average.

Richardson is quite proud of this one in

Female Swimmer of the Year,
earned a 3.66 GPA, majoring in psy-
chology. An All-American in the
200-yard backstroke, Humphrey
will serve as a team co-captain for
the upcoming season.
Achieving All-Academic status as
a swimmer is especially tough, since
the award requires excellence both in
and out of the pool. To qualify, an
individual must maintain either a cum,
mulative 3.5 GPA or average a 3.5 for
the year. In addition, she must have
been one of the 270 swimmers and
divers invited to the NCAA Champi-
onships.
"Just getting there (to NCAAs) is
an accomplishment in itself,"
Richardson said. "People like that are
the prototypes for the kind of people
you want in your program."
