UNI BASEBALL CELEBRATES 100 YEARS OF WINNING Dating back to 1893, no University of Northern Iowa athletic team has won more games than the Panther baseball program. This season, UNI baseball opens its lOOth season with 952 wins all-time. (No baseball team was fielded in 1903-04, 1909-10 and 1943-45.) Originally begun when the school was known as Iowa State Normal School, the baseball team has represented the school when it was also known as Iowa State Teachers College and the State College of Iowa before assuming its present title in 1967. Starting in the years with Captain Avery as coach of the first two squads, the Panthers have built a program that thrives on hard­ working young men dedicated to being the best they can be on the diamond and in the classroom. Last year was no exception, as five Panthers; Ryan McGuire, Kevin Briggeman, Greg Woodin, Scott Sobkowiak and Aaron Houdeshell were named academic all-MVC by the sports information directors of the league.

MN 55455 (612) 625-4090 Fax 625-0359 For Immediate Release Mar. 20, 1995 Eleven Golden Gophers Qualify For NCAA Men's Swimming & Diving Championships University of Minnesota head coach Dennis Dale will take 11 swimmers and divers with him to this week's NCAA men's champi­ onships in Indianapolis. Heading the list is diver P.J. Bogart (Jr., Mesa, Ariz.), who earned Big Ten titles in three diving events a month ago. The junior won the national title on the 10-meter platform as a freshman in 1993. Other 1995 Big Ten champs who will be competing for the Gophers include Derek Williams (Jr., Lansdale, Pa.) and Paul Domer (Sr., Eau Claire, Wis.). Williams, who set a new Big Ten record in the 100 fly, has qualified for the national meet in that event as well as the 50 free and the 200 fly. Domer, the conference winner in the 200 breast, will compete in that event as well as the 100 breast at the national meet. Other top contenders for Minnesota include Bernie Zeruhn (Jr., Hamburg, Germany) in the 200 free and Manolis Lentaris (Fr., Rania, Crete, Greece) in the 500 free.
