Nduwimana's 1:44.06 time in the 800-meter dash at the Memorial Van Damme meet in Brussles, Belgium on Aug. 25 set a school record. His time ranks eighth in the world this year and is the No. 2 time in collegiate history. Abdirahman finished third in the 10,000-meter race at the U.S. Olympic Trials in July.

Origins of U.S. women's swimming success Sept. 12, 2000 KALAMAZOO When Amy Van Dyken, Lindsay Benko, Kristi Kowal and any of the other 21 members of the U.S. women's Olympic swimming team dive in during competition, they have Charlotte Epstein to thank for their being there. According to Dr. Linda J. Borish, associate professor of history and women's studies at WMU, Epstein, who died in 1938, was the force behind the formation and acceptance of the first female swimmers to compete for medals in an Olympic Games. Epstein, known as the "mother of women's swimming in America," formed the Women's Swimming Association in New York City in 1917 with the intention of teaching women to swim and preparing them for competitive swim events, which up until then didn't exist at national or Olympic levels. She is the one who challenged the U.S. Olympic Committee to allow women the opportunity to compete in the 1920 games in Antwerp, Belgium. "Back then there was not a lot of support for women in competition," Borish explains. "Eppie showed a lot of skill in battling the Olympic committee to allow women. They didn't want women to participate, not to mention little girls. One of the youngest stars of the team, Aileen Riggin, was only 14 and a half when she competed and won a gold medal in fancy diving."
