Along with the athletes, U-M is represented at the Olympics by staff members like Lisa Hass, who has accumulated so many stamps in her passport that she recently authored a “Top 10 International Travel Tips” article for mgoblue.com.

This advice comes in handy for the U-M athletic trainer as medical support in Beijing.

Haas works with both the U.S. men’s and women’s rowing teams during their training camp as well as competitions.

Following that she had a two-day assignment for the men’s and women’s triathlon events. And she expected to work in the USA clinic and assist at events where needed.

“The medical staff is large but there always seem to be holes to fill,” she says.

During this assignment Hass functions similarly to her job at U-M, where she has worked for 17 years.

“The exposure to elite, driven athletes and coaches has prepared me well for this level of competition,” says Hass, who has traveled with the national rowing team to four World Championship events and to the 2007 Pam Am Games. “Working on a daily basis with tremendous athletes who are extremely motivated helps me in my dealings with elite national team members.”

Additional U-M staff members participating in the Olympics include men’s swimming coaches Bob Bowman and Jon Urbanchek, who joined the coaching staff for USA men’s swimming.

At the Olympic trials, 41 U-M athletes competed in 28 sports, Athletic Director Bill Martin told regents at a recent board meeting.

Martin predicted great success for the athletes, in particular swimmer Phelps, who won one more fold medal than the record held by U.S. swimmer Mark Spitz.
