The expanded competition was announced today by the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) which has committed $3 million to stage the five day event from the 8 th th of January 2003. "Our first Olympic Festival in 2001 was a resounding success and more sports have been added this time round" said AOC Secretary General Bob Elphinston. "Such is the popularity of the AYOF 25 of the 28 summer Sports Federations wanted to participate and ultimately the AOC would like to include them all" he said. The new sports added to the 2003 program are Archery, Badminton, Fencing, Judo, Shooting, Softball, Table Tennis, Tae Kwon Do, Water Polo, Weightlifting and Wrestling, "Badminton, Fencing, Judo and Wrestling are sports where we are less developed and looking to improve" Elphinston said. The AOC has invited all countries from the East Asian Region and it’s expected Australia’s future Olympians will compete against teams from China, Japan and South Korea. "These countries are the world super powers in many of those disciplines," he said.

Highlights Coaches Athletes Scholarships Training ... AIS Sports AIS Program Highlights... 2000 Olympic Year The Australian Softball Team added another bronze medal to their Olympic Medal Tally at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. The entire Softball Team were AIS Scholarship holders in 2000. One of the highlights of the Olympics was once again scoring a win against the USA Team, however the win didn’t come at the right time for the Australian team as the results below will show. The Australian Team defeated the USA in Game 18, with an inspirational performance from Peta Edebone who hit a 2 run home run to win the game 2-1. However, Australia faced Japan in the Major Semi Final and the team was unable to score a run, which put them into the Preliminary final against the USA. The winner of this game would advance into the Gold Medal Game with the loser winning the Bronze Medal. Unfortunately, Australia could not score off the USA’s power pitchers and finished the Olympic Games tournament with the Bronze Medal. Results: Australia v New Zealand 3-2 Australia v Italy 7-0 Australia v Canada 1-0 Australia v Japan 0-1 Australia v USA 2-1 Major Semi-Final Australia v Japan 0-1 Preliminary Final Australia v USA 0-1 Australia Winning Bronze Medal Gold Medal Game USA v Japan 2-1 Australia won the Canada Cup defeating Atlanta Olympic Silver Medalists-China in the Final 7-0.

Lil Clone Club Ruth Crowe Position: Head Coach Alma Mater: Texas Woman's, 1982 Excellence is something that ISU head softball coach Ruth Crowe has achieved as an athlete and coach, and it is something that she is looking to instill in her athletes at Iowa State. Crowe is in her seventh season as the leader of the Cyclone softball program and looks to lead a youth-laden squad through a tough non-conference slate and an always difficult Big 12 conference schedule. With Crowe at the helm, the 2002 season showed great improvement as ISU won 19 games for the first time since the 1999 season. Two Cyclones earned first-team All-Big 12 honors, while one earned second-team honors. Six players also earned academic all-Big 12 honors. Erica Martinez was named a third-team Easton All-American and has become ISU’s career home run leader with 22. Lindsey Herrin led the Big 12 in batting average leader with a .383. The 2002 squad once again played some of the top teams in the country. ISU played seven NCAA Tournament teams last season, four of which came out of the Big 12. The Cyclones also squared off against three opponents who reached the Women’s College World Series. In 2001, several milestones and records were met or broken. Erica Martinez and Kimi Yoshizawa earned first-team all-Big 12 honors. Martinez was also named to the Louisville Slugger Midwest region second team. Martinez finished the year with seven home runs, placing her second on the ISU all-time single-season charts and moving herself up to third in the Cyclone career home-run rankings.

Three times he was named to the coaching staff of the U.S. Olympic team; twice as an assistant (1968 and 1976) and in 1980 he was named head coach of the U.S. team, the largest American swimming and diving team assembled at that time. He also coached the 1967 U.S. Pan American Games team, and two U.S. National Teams that toured Japan in 1975 and the Soviet Union in 1981. At Rutgers, Elm can best be described as the driving force in the development of the swimming and diving program. He developed 10 Olympic swimmers- two gold medal winners, several Pan Am Games swimmers, five of whom won gold medals. He also tutored several individual and national championship swimmers as well as national relay champions. He oversaw the development of the women's swimming and diving program at Rutgers, a team that went undefeated from 1973-75. Near the end of his career, he was able to help oversee the construction of the Sonny Werblin Recreation Center, one of the finest swimming and diving facilities in America.

THE LOWDOWN: Florida opens the season today with the GRU Classic, which includes South Florida, Florida International and North Carolina. The Gators return nine starters and are deepest in the outfield, where nine players are vying for three spots. Although the Gators lost three starters at pitcher, catcher and first base, Johns believes she has the players to step up and fill those roles. The best part about this team, Johns believes, is its versatility. Several players proved during the fall season that they can be useful in many roles.
