PREP PREVIEW: BOYS SOCCER Greater Metro stands a header above the rest Conference is loaded with solid programs; ATHLETES TO WATCH Sean O'Brien, sr., Hartford: All-state player the last two years and the conference player of the year in '96, he is one of the fastest midfielders in the area. His excellent ball control and work ethic accounts for his nine game-winning goals and assists combined last year. Chris Dabaian, sr., New Berlin Eisenhower: Allowed just four goals in 10 Parkland Conference games last year and had 11 shutouts in all. Spent nearly three weeks in the summer training in Holland. Nikola Stancevic, sr., New Berlin Eisenhower: With his teammate Dabaian, this midfielder also made the all-state team last season. He had 12 goals, but seven of them were game-winners. He also assisted on two other game-winning goals. "When we need the game to be won, he's there," coach Mark Steinlein said. Joe Hammes, sr., Marquette: An all-state defender last year, Hammes is very strong in the air and is a technically sound player. "With him we'll win the ball in the air," coach Bob Spielmann said. "You don't want that ball to drop so someone can pounce on it." Eric Kubacki, sr., Marquette: Another all-state selection for the Hilltoppers, this midfielder is known for great distribution of the ball. Kelly Markgraf, sr., Cedarburg: As one of the few returning starters from the state championship team, this all-state midfielder is known for his leadership skills. Dominic DaPra, sr., Racine St. Catherine's: An all-state forward last season, he is one of the fastest in the state. "Very few high school kids play striker at his pace," coach Tony Guinn said. "He's at three times their speed." Ramone Saavedra, sr., Milwaukee South: As a forward, he scored 26 goals last season. "He is a dangerous threat whenever he touches the ball," coach John Welk said. Tim White, sr., Milwaukee Pius: His is a soccer family: older brother Pat plays for the Wave, other brother Eric plays for the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. White is a smart midfielder and the leading scorer for Pius last season. Though he stands just 5 feet 7 inches, he packs "a lot of power in a small package," coach Roger Radke said. Nicholas Walls, jr., Wauwatosa East: This junior forward is already called by some coaches a lock for the all-state team. His speed already has Division I colleges interested. Wes Wild, sr., West Allis Hale: As a fourth-year starting midfielder, Wild is, at 6-0, one of the strongest and biggest players in the area and built more like a linebacker than a soccer player. Andrew Hatch, jr., Whitefish Bay: A skilled and technically sound player, Hatch will direct traffic and create opportunities in the midfield. Mike Janusz, sr. Waukesha Catholic Memorial: First team all-Metro conference last year, he led the team in assists in '96. Fred Kinateder, sr., Waukesha Catholic Memorial: As a forward, he led the team in scoring and is known for being creative and finishing at the goal. Jonathan Simpson, sr. Brookfield East: He is coming back at forward from a torn anterior cruciate knee ligament last season and is a good finisher. Sean Reti, sr., Brookfield East: Already orally committed to play at Marquette University, the forward has the ability to take on opponents. He is also new to the area, coming from Ohio. Ryan Schweitzer, sr., Kettle Moraine: Possibly one of the best sweepers in the state, he is cool and level-headed under pressure. He settles the entire team down with his ball-handling.

Ahead of her time Lipinski has burst onto skating scene; WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SKATING CAPSULES Women Tara Lipinski, United States: The new American champion is on a hot streak, winning the Champions Series final for two straight over last year's champion, Michelle Kwan. . . . Has all the jumps, including a rare triple loop-triple loop combination. . . . Still 14, she has never won a senior competition in Europe and was just 15th in last year's worlds after bombing in the short program. Michelle Kwan, United States: Last year's U.S. and world champion was nearly infallible until the last two competitions. . . . Vows to come back and skate up to the form she showed to win the '96 world title in a close decision over Chen Lu. . . . Strong jumper and was improving on artistry, but needs a good performance to regain confidence heading into the Olympic season. Chen LU, China: The Olympic bronze medalist and 1995 world champion is a fine jumper and very artistic. . . . Has kept a low profile this season due to various disputes with Chinese federation and injuries. . . . Narrowly lost to Kwan last year, but the long layoff from competition may hurt her more than anything. Others to watch: Two-time European champion Irina Slutskaya of Russia, third last year. . . . Nicole Bobek of the United States, the 1995 U.S. champ making a comeback and trying to shed the bad-girl image that follows her. . . . Maria Butryskaya of Russia, always near the podium, but never a world medalist. Men Elvis Stojko, Canada: The 1994 and 1995 world champion wants to regain his title and a quadruple-triple combination helps. . . . Still lacking in artistry, but maybe another quad in his program will make him unbeatable technically. . . . Missed out on a medal last year after failing in the short program. . . . Favored if he hits all his jumps. Todd Eldredge, United States: The U.S. champion and the defending world champ, but sprained his ankle last week, putting put him behind in training. . . . Probably the best spinner in the world and a strong jumper. . . . If on, can give a superb artistic routine, as he did last year to win the gold. Alexei Urmanov, Russia: The 1994 Olympic champion has had a spotty record until winning the European title in January. . . . Getting back confidence with huge triple axel and a quad for the first time in five years. . . . Classical long program, but uses hard-rock short program to show his different styles. Ilia Kulik, Russia: On again, off again. Which Kulik will show up at Lausanne? . . . When he's on, he's superb 1995 European champion at 17, just barely lost to Eldredge for the world title last year. . . . Probably the most stylish jumper in the men's field. . . . Moved to Massachusetts to train with Tatiana Tarasova, who improved his artistry. . . . Nailed his first official quad at the Champions Series final. Others to watch: Viacheslav Zagorodniuk of Ukraine, who took European crown in 1996 and had it again until the complicated scoring dropped him from first to third this year. . . . Michael Weiss of the United States is sure to try a quad to the music of Santana. Maybe it will count this time after U.S. officials belatedly took it away at Nashville? . . . Alexei Yagudin of Russia turns just 17 during worlds, but overshadowed by his teammates. He also has the quad. Pairs Oksana Kazakova and Artur Dmitriev, Russia: Back on the Russian team after being fourth at their nationals. . . . A good performance at the Champions Series final and improved programs put them in a contending position. . . . Both regaining top form after early- season problems. . . . He won an Olympic and two world titles with Natasha Mishkutienok and the 1996 European title with Kazakova. Mandy Woetzel and Ingo Steuer, Germany: Earned the world's sympathy when she fell and cut her chin at the 1994 Olympics and he carried her, bleeding, off the ice. . . . Won Europeans in front of home crowd in Dortmund in 1995 and barely lost Europeans the past two years. . . . Their long program is a mood piece, full of flow and unison, but perhaps not to everyone's taste. It worked for Champions Series win. Marina Eltsova and Andrei Bushkov, Russia: 1996 world champions in a close decision. . . . Won the European title again, four years after their first. . . . Elegant program and have all the tricks, but still not the reputation to be considered strong favorites. Others to watch: Jenni Meno and Todd Sand, United States: Bronze medalists in worlds last two years, but lost the U.S. title and both had injuries this season. . . . Majestic, European-style performance. . . . Too inconsistent this season. Ice dance Oksana Gritschuk and Evgeny Platov, Russia: World and Olympic champions won the European title after being reinstated on the Russian team after a mixup at their national championships. . . . Their Arabian routine is mesmerizing. . . . Now training with Tatiana Tarasova after they claimed they were being ignored by the coach who helped them win the Olympic gold. Shae-Lynn Bourne and Victor Kraatz, Canada: Upset second-best Russian ice dancers in Champions Series final, but that was in Canada and worlds are in Europe. . . . Big-band beat with snazzy moves. Angelika Krylova and Oleg Ovsiannikov, Russia: World runners-up last year. . . . Favored by coach Natasha Liniciuk, who works in Delaware. That led to Gritschuk and Platov moving away. . . . Have flowing free program to "Masquerade" waltz. Others to watch: Sophie Moniotte and Pascal Lavanchy, France: Recovered from her injury that kept them out of competition last year. . . . Elizabeth Punsalan and Jerod Swallow, United States: Rising quickly with the help of a Russian coach.
