A study is undertaken to determine abundances in rapidly rotating main sequence A stars (v sin i = 100 − 180 km/s) in order to investigate if non-solar abundance patterns found in slow rotators (Lemke 1989, 1990) persist toward higher rotational velocities. This will provide some insight into how the Am phenomenon and other chemical peculiarities are connected with slow rotation and diffusion processes.

Most stars were found to have a rather solar composition. At least one star, HR5023, is enriched in Ba by approximately one order of magnitude relative to the sun at a v sin i of 110km/s. Both C and Ba will be discussed.
