Special to The Jewish News
onathan Ben-Ze'ev says
he loves running because
it's relaxing and it gives him
a chance to clear his head from the
rigors of academics. He also loves run-
ning because of the challenge of push-
ing himself to exhaustion.
Those divergent but addicting rea-
sons help explain why Ben-Ze'ev, a
Berkley High School senior, could have
kicked himself after he dropped out of
cross country as an eighth- and ninth-
grader. He ran for
Hillel Day School
of Metropolitan
Detroit when he
was in sixth and
seventh grade,
but not in eighth
grade.
"I thought I was
burned out on
Ben-Zeiev
running, but when
I started running
again with a friend after school in the
spring of my freshman year at Berkley,
I realized that running is a big part of
my life Ben-Ze'ev said. "I regretted
not keeping up with it."
Ben-Ze'ev joined the Berkley boys
cross country team that fall. He
remained with the Bears for three
years, earning team MVP honors last
season. He barely missed qualifying
for the Division 1 state meet when
he finished 23rd at the regional in
Clarkston. His 16:56.2 clocking was
the third-fastest 5K run in Berkley
team history.
Besides being named MVP, Ben
Ze'ev was the team's Bear of the Year
as a junior and senior, the only two
years he could win the award. The
honor goes to the student-athlete with
the highest grade point average.
Ben-Ze'ev carries a 4.3 GPA on a
weighted 4.0 scale. The 17-year-old
Huntington Woods teen plans to
attend the University of Michigan,
then possibly head to medical school
and become an orthopedic surgeon.
Before he runs off to Ann Arbor,
Ben-Ze'ev will spend his third season
with the Berkley boys track team this
j
spring. The 5-foot-10, 142-pounder
would like to drop his time in the 3200
meter run to 10:30.
"As you can tell from his grade point
average, Jonathan is a very motivated
young man:' said Paul Yowchuang,
Ben-Ze'ev's former cross country and
track coach who is now Berkley's ath-
letic director.
Ben-Ze'ev's parents are Abraham
and liana. He has a sister, Lee, 13, an
eighth-grade student at Roeper Middle
School.
Service With A Smile
Debra Gross competes with the
debate, forensics and Quiz Bowl teams
at West Bloomfield High School. She's
also a member of the school's Law
and Japanese clubs, and she has a 3.7
grade point average.
"I don't;' she said with a laugh.
Somehow, Gross also finds time to
be a solid contributor off the bench
for the West Bloomfield volleyball
team. The 5-foot-9 junior served the
final two points in the Lakers' 29-27
second-game win over Rochester last
week. The Lakers went on to a five-
game victory.
That was an important Oakland
Activities Association Division II road
win for West Bloomfield, which was 4-
1 in the division just past the halfway
point of the dual match schedule. The
division tournament will be Feb. 10 at
Rochester Hills Stoney Creek. Dual-
match records and tournament results
will determine the overall champion of
the nine-team division.
There are only nine players on West
Bloomfield coach Jason Gold's ros-
ter, the smallest in his eight years at
the helm. But he likes the girls' athleti-
cism and aggressive hitting.
Gold, 38, a 1986 West Bloomfield
grad, also coaches volleyball at Our
Lady of Refuge School in Orchard Lake
and Abbott Middle School in the West
Bloomfield district. Gold's seventh-
and eighth-grade No. 1 team at Our
Lady of Refuge finished second among
105 Catholic Youth Organization
squads last fall.
