While Conrad was taken off for X-rays, the team managed to return to the track as the No. 8 seed and beat Argentina, the fastest team, in 4.22 to advance into Saturday's semifinals. "Today we were just hoping everything held together," said team pursuit coach Craig Griffin. "These guys are tough. Crashing and road rash is just part of cycling.

You have to expect go down now and again." Vande Velde, 18, of Lemont, 111., one of the nation's top juniors, is coached by Davie's Klement Capliar and has been training at the Brian Piccolo Park Velodrome in Cooper City. His father, John, rode on the 1971 Pan Am team that last defeated the Cubans for the gold medal Though Conrad replaced Vande Velde for the pursuit final, all riders received a gold medal. Conrad said he just had to ride in the final. "I felt bad that I was the one who caused the crash and my teammates' injuries," Conrad said. "Things happen so fast, you make one mistake and it costs you everything almost, we got pretty lucky." It was Conrad who was hurt the most in the spill.

He sprained his right ankle, bruised his left hip and scraped his entire left side, knees and legs. Griffin backed Conrad's decision to ride. "It's like falling off a horse you got to get right back up again," Griffin said. "We just have a tough group of riders. We came here knowing that there were going to be problems.

When you come to South America you're going to have problems. We crashed, we made a mistake, and we dealt with it." Before a frenzied anti-American, pro-Cuban crowd, the announcer yelled for the Americans to stop their attempt at the track record. Griffin, however, informed officials they would attempt the record whether they lapped the Cubans or not. The timer failed to allow it. "I think they were a little quick in stopping the race," Griffin said.

Said Sundquist: "We got what we came here for the gold medal." NOTEBOOK Ex-UM vaulter gets sterling performance By SHARON ROBB Staff Writer MAR DEL PLATA, Argentina Former University of Miami pole vaulter Bill Deering took a silver medal at the Pan American Games on Saturday and remains an Olympic hopeful. Deering, 25, of Miami Beach, finished second by clearing 18 feet, 4 inches, (5.65 meters) to continue America's dominance in the event. A four-time Big East champion and All-American, Deering chalked his first major international event up to a "learning experience." "I can't be too upset," said Deering, who missed almost an entire year with a hamstring injury. "I'm getting better and better. Meets like this are incredible experiences, and how can I be upset walking away with a silver?" Pat Manson, 27, of Baldwin, Kansas, repeated as Pan American Games gold medalist, successfully defending his title with a best of 18-lO's (5.75 meters).

Of the 12 pole vault Pan Am competitions, USA athletes have won 11 gold medals. "I didn't expect that I would even get a chance to come here," Manson said. "When we picked our team, I was only an alternate. But as soon as I knew I was coming, I put my mind that I wanted to repeat." Manson was perfect, scaling each height without a miss to clinch the gold. His only misses came when attempting to eclipse his personal best (19-2 Vi The bar was set at 19-2 SA He missed all three attempts.

Neither Manson nor Deering missed until the bar reached 18-10 Vi. Deering missed and Manson made it on his first attempt. "Following Bill I was motivated to always go one better," Manson said. "We were neck-and-neck. Bill jumped great today.

He drove me to win. Every time he jumped and made it put the pressure on me not to miss." Elsewhere WATER POLO: The United States men's team opened play with a less-than-stellar performance but still earned a 10-5 victory over Brazil. Chris Humbert of Lodi, led scorers with four goals. Goalkeeper and team captain Chris Duplanty of Honolulu had eight saves. The United States led 6-3 at the half! "It was ugly, but it's a win," said Gavin Arroyo of Orange, Calif.

"We could have played a lot better than we did. We played with the first game jitters." Said U.S. coach Rich Corso: "I'm happy to get the first game out of the way, especially against an opponent we hadn't seen play since the '91 Pan Am Games. We've picked up our first two points. It was almost exactly how we thought the game would go." After an off day, the United States plays Mexico Monday.

BOXING: The two lightest members of the United States boxing team won in first-round action at the Club Athletico Once Unidos.The Americans improved their record to 4-1 after two sessions as light flyweight Albert Guardado of Topeka, and flyweight Eric Morel of Madison, posted victories. Featherweight Diego Corrales of Sacramento, was the first American to fall in the early stages of the tournament. Corrales, in only his third international fight, lost to veteran Cuban boxer Ar-naldo Mesa on an 18-3 decision. RACEWALKING: The United States was shut out of a medal after Allen James of La-Grange, Gal, and Jonathan Matthews of Palo Alto, failed to finish the men's 20-kilometer walk. Jefferson Leona Perez of Ecuador won the gold medal in a Pan American Games-record time of 1 hour, 22 minutes and 52.80 seconds.

Mexico's Daniel Garcia Cordova was second in 1:22:56.40, and Guatemala's Julio Rene Martinez was third in 1:23:49.70. ROWING: The United States won three golds and six silver medals in 11 rowing finals. The winners were the lightweight men's pairs without cox Chris Kerber of Collingswood, N.J., and Boston's Andrew Finch the lightweight men's eight and the men's four without cox. TENNIS: Florencia Labat of Argentina beat Ann Grossman of Grove City, Ohio, 6-3, 6-3 to win the women's title. Grossman also lost in the women's doubles final with partner Chanda Rubin of Lafayette, La.

They were vanquished by Argentina's Mercedes Paz and Patricia Tarabinl 6-3, 6-2. Advancing to the men's final were a pair of Argentines, Javier Frana and Hernan Gumy. Both beat Venezuelans Jimy Szymanski and Nicolas Pereira to move on. The only Americans still alive, the mixed doubles pair of Jack Waite of Waukesha, and Gainesville's Shaun Stafford, made the finals by beating Cuba's Juan Pino and Belkis Rodriguez. ROLLER SKATING: Derek Parra of Dover, despite being hit by a car during the race, picked himself up and won the roller speed skating marathon.

Parra, winner of five gold medals, two silvers and a bronze during the games, was in second place when he was hit by an official's car midway through the 26-mile race. He bounced off the pavement, rolled several times and got back up to win the event easily. He received multiple injuries, but none was serious. Chile's Marcela Caceres won the women's marathon, with Heather Laufer of Kansas City, winning the bronze medal. ARCHERY: Ed Eliason of Stansbury Park, Utah, and Janet Dykman of El Monte, won individual golds.

Eliason defeated Vic Wunderle of Mason City, Iowa, 109-104, while Dykman edged Ruth Rows of McLean, 104-103, Sun-Sentinel wire services contributed to this report.

What looked more like a scene out of an old war movie was a celebration for the United States men's pursuit team's remarkable comeback for the gold medal Saturday at the Pan American Games. "It's amazing as much as we were beat up we proved that we could come back and win the gold medal," said Sundquist, 33, two-time Olympian and former Pembroke Pines cyclist now training in Colorado Springs.

The United States won the 16-lap race in 4 minutes, 19.025 seconds. Even more satisfying for the riders was that the United States defeated Cuba, the defending gold medalists. The Americans' ability to rebound from a serious crash during Friday's qualifying round was remarkable. It was the first time an American men's pursuit team had crashed since the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. "Things kind of got turned upside down," said Laurent, 23, of Goleta, Calif.

"The hardest part was the mental part, trying to overcome what we went through. "Team pursuit crashes can be pretty deadly. Speeds run high. It's not an event you expect to crash. When it catches you out of the blue and you're down on the ground, a lot goes through your mind." Conrad, 19, of Boulder, and the second-youngest on the United States squad, admitted that he caused Friday's crash when he caught Friedick's wheel on a turn.

With a two-hour window, team officials called the Athletes' Village looking for replacement rider Christian Vande Velde to take Conrad's spot. The United States Olympic Committee provided a van to get him and his bike to track. Vande Velde arrived with 30 minutes to spare.

Volleyball -4- medal on men's platform. Slowed by a severe calf muscle pull the past few months, Jeffrey, 29, a member of the 1988 Olympic team, was able to work his way back from fifth place after recovering from two shaky dives in the seventh and eighth rounds. He finished third with 543.930. "I'm definitely proud to win a bronze medal for my country, it's an honor," Jeffrey said. "It's been so long since I've been in a competition, I sort of forgot how I deal with it best.

I know what I have to do. "It's not only Mexico's Fernando Platas at the '96 Olympics. There are Russian and Chinese kids. For me, I am the one I have to beat do my dives the way I can do them then I'll be in the hunt." University of Miami freshman Bryan Gil-looly, 18, of Kissimmee, competed in his first major senior level international event and was in medal contention for the first seven rounds. He was first after four rounds of re-quireds and second or third until the eighth and ninth rounds when he landed on his back twice.

Gillooly will compete in next week's NCAA Championships in Indianapolis. Miami's diving program qualified a record five divers.

"This is not what I wanted to happen," Gillooly said. "This was not such a great experience." Mexico's Fernando Platas, a 19-year-old business student from Mexico City, won his third medal in three events, his second gold. Platas took the lead in the fifth round and won with 617.520. Platas won the 3-meter title Sunday and took a silver on 1-meter Wednesday. Mexican teammate Alberto Pal-ma Acosta clinched the silver on his final dive.
