CHICAGO --With his best swimmer poised to go to the Beijing Olympics in four months and a stable of younger athletes in the pipeline for 2012 and beyond, Paul Yetter has an eye for talent and the ability to nurture it. Yesterday, the Anne Arundel County native was honored by the U.S. Olympic Committee as its Developmental Coach of the Year. Yetter, 32, was selected over finalists from ice hockey, taekwondo, diving and women's basketball. The award was first issued in 1996. His resume includes coaching the 2007 USOC Sportswoman of the Year, Towson's Katie Hoff, and guiding the U.S. women's squad at the Pan American Games last summer to 14 gold medals in 16 events.

After school, 14-year-old Courtney Kalisz goes to her Bel Air home, switches her book bag for her swimming bag and heads for the pool. During practice at Meadowbrook Aquatic and Fitness Center in Baltimore, she's in the water for at least two hours, swimming six to 10 miles. She spends an hour doing on-land exercise. On the ride home she does homework. Returning home about 8 p.m., she zaps her dinner in the microwave. After a quick shower, she attends to her remaining homework and spends about an hour on the computer.

ATHENS - Katie Hoff's Olympic debut was a disaster. The 15-year-old from the North Baltimore Aquatic Club dived into the Olympic Aquatic Centre pool yesterday with the world's fastest time of the year in the women's 400-meter individual medley. She finished fifth in her heat and didn't come close to advancing to last night's final. Hoff had a look of grief on her face when she viewed her time on the scoreboard, and was the last in her heat to exit the pool. She collapsed on the deck, then moved behind a canopy, seeking privacy.

LONG BEACH, Calif. - Wednesday night might have been the most memorable in the 36-year existence of the North Baltimore Aquatic Club. On one coast, the NBAC owned the opening night of the U.S. Olympic team trials, as Michael Phelps and Katie Hoff swept the 400-meter individual medleys. On the other, the NBAC dealt with devastation. Floodwaters that swept down the Jones Falls caused severe damage at the Meadowbrook Aquatic and Fitness Center, the only training base Phelps has ever known.

An Odenton Christian School pastor could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison after an Anne Arundel County judge convicted him yesterday on charges that he beat an 8-year-old pupil with a board. The Rev. Timothy L. Yetter, 42, of the 8000 block of Piney Orchard Parkway pleaded not guilty by statement of facts to one count of second-degree assault. The unusual plea allows Yetter to preserve certain appeal rights. After listening to the prosecutor recite a summary of the case, Circuit Judge Joseph P. Manck convicted Yetter on the charge.
