Posen was part of Wolverine's cycling
program for about 20 years before he
began speedskating, as part of his cross-
training program.
"I finally decided I was getting bored
with riding the wind trainer in the win-
ter, all the time. Speedskating is a good
substitute," he said.
Solway's former interest in figure
skating evolved into a desire to speed-
skate late last year. She enjoys going to
Wolverine's weekly speedskating sessions
and "meeting new people and doing
such an unusual sport. When I tell peo-
ple about it they say, 'Wow!'"
Solway says most people think of
speedskating as something to watch
during the Olympics. "They don't
know that they could do it, too, at the
Detroit Skating Club."
For the Hertzes, speedskating iss-a
family activity. Steve Hertz was one of
those who watched speedskating on TV.
But when he joined Wolverine about
four years ago, he learned about their
speedskating program. He soon joined
the program, which features Sunday
afternoon practice and lessons. He then
convinced daughter Jenna, now 9, to
join him.
"Part of the draw for Jenna was the
fact that it was like a daddy-daughter
day," says mom Barbara Hertz. But
soon she and the couple's other daugh-
ter, Lauren, now 7, turned it into a
family day.
"It's something an entire family can
do," says Steve Hertz. "There are skaters
on the ice from 4 years old to 74 years
old. Our coach (John Camilli of Royal

Oak) is a two-time current national
champion for master men (35 and up).
"You can all share the ice and get
workouts. You work on different things,
but you can all be together at the same
time. Virtually anybody can participate,
regardless of your ability. We teach first-
timers who've never put skates on
before."
Hertz calls speedskating "an art form
on ice. It isn't a muscle sport so much as
it is a technique sport."
Danielle David, a friend of Sklar's,
enjoyed speedskating right from the
start after coming out to practice last
year. "I'm doing it just for fun," David
said. "It's exciting—going fast and being
competitive. There's not too much pres-
sure put on you. You can be as competi-
tive as you want."
The Super Skate III competition
runs from 12:30-7 p.m. Saturday, Feb.
7, and from 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m. Sunday,
Feb. 8. Sponsors expect more than
100 competitors, mostly from the
Midwest and Ontario. Entrants will
be seeded according to age and ability
and will compete in four races on a
111.11-meter oval. The event is sanc-
tioned by the Amateur Speedskating
Union and the Michigan Speedskating
Association. Cl

For information on Super Skate

The Cadillac Pro Indoor USTA
(United States Tennis Association)
Challenger will be coming to West
Bloomfield this Monday, Feb. 2,
through Saturday.
Headlining the event will be Eyal
Erlich and Eyal Ran, two of Israel's
top pro players.
Erlich, 21, is ranked 178 in the
world by the Association of Tennis
Profesisonals (ATP). His progress has
been slowed recently due to his com-
mitment to the Israeli army, which
ends this October. He then plans to
play on the tour on a more regular
basis.
Ran, 27, is ranked 194, and has
been on the ATP since 1992. He also
has played on the Israeli Davis Cup
team since 1992.
The field will feature 14 players
from the U.S., as well as nine other
countries.

tion, contact the Sports Club at
