Roll out the red carpets.
Tom Dolan and Beth Wymer de-
serve star treatment.
Both Wolverines were named Michi-
gan Athletes of the Year last Wednesday.
Dolan, a sophomore swimmer from
Arlington, Va., was also named 1995
Swimmer of the Year by the NCAA af-
ter winning four national titles at the
NCAA Championships in March and
setting three American, NCAA and U.S.
Open records in the process.
The two-time Big Ten Swimmer of
the Year holds the NCAA record in the
500-yard freestyle (4:08.75), the 1650
(14:29.31) and the 400 individual med-
ley (3:38.18), becoming the first swim-
mer since Matt Biondi to hold three U.S.
records.
Wymer, a three-time Big Ten Gym-
nast of the Year finished her career with
an unprecedented third consecutive Na-
.,tional Championship in the uneven bars.
The senior from Toledo, Ohio owns
14 Big Ten individual titles and holds ev-
ery conference and school record in all
four gymnastics events as well as the all-
around.
Wymer, who was named Academic
All-District last week, helped Michigan
win its fourth straight Big Ten crown and
led the Wolverines to a second-place fin-
ish at the NCAA Championships in
May.

Tyrone Wheatley.
The name alone causes people to
take notice.
Yes, Wheatley is a football star. He
is one of Michigan's all-time best
running backs and now a New York
Giant. Wheatley also runs track as a
hurdler and sprinter and could have
been a top competitor, had he been able
to put in the time.
But precious hours were taken by
football practice, whether it was
Michigan football in his four years
here, or now, flying to New York for
mini camp on any given day. So
instead, Wheatley settles for just being
a 1995 track All-American in the 110-
meter hurdles.
Yet, when you see Wheatley, you
see a normal, regular guy. Only six
