Tuesday, September Z$, 1976 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Paea Seven Tuesday, September 28, 1976 THE MICHIGAN DAILY rPi'vsa 'va i I Harriers By ERNIE DUNBAR Ah, the easy life of a cross-country coach at Michigan! All you do is program your two-leg- ged machines to perform the easy task of run- ning 4.3 miles in the rain, and they respond in grand fashion. Michigan coach Ron Warhurst had few prob- lems getting his harriers in gear Sunday as they competed in the ninth annual Springbank International road races in London, Ont. As he demonstrated Sunday, Wolverine Greg Meyer, is definitely a runner to mention when you start thinking of all-Big Ten and all-Ameri- ca teams. RUNNING W H A The called "One of the strongest races I've ever run in my life," Meyer battled through a steady drizzle to place second with a time of 19:57 in what is consid- ered one of the premier road races in North America. win Canadian i Overcoming a wipeout in which he slid the width of the road, Meyer chased Britisher Nick Rose, who broke the existing course record by ten seconds with his clocking of 19:31, for most of the race. "I felt strong, strong all the way," said Mey- er. "I never really felt bad. I couldn't believe it, it felt great." Probably the most astonishing statistic about the race, was the Wolverines' overall improve- ment on their 1975 times. Remember that this is a cross country team that won the Big Ten and Central Collegiate Conference championships, and was a major factor in the indoor and outdoor track cham- pionships in the same conferences. WITH ALL that success, one would figure these distance runners must be pretty good. That's true, but there's always room for im- provement. In last year's race, Michigan's fifth finisher in the race (29th overall) recorded a time of 21:08. Now you'd look all the way down to the Wolverines tenth man (39th overall) and find that he ran four seconds faster than last year's fifth man. This is only the second meet of the season and already the time spread between Michi- gan's top four runners is only thirty-one sec- onds. This should drop later in the year when num- ber five man Billy Donakowski gets into racing shape and Jon Cross, Doug Sweazy, and Jack Sinclair develop consistency. SEVERAL OF the Wolverine freshmen show- ed signs of becoming keys to future cross coun- try success. Competing in only their second meet of their college careers, Dave Lewis and Dan Heikkin- :on test en turned in times of 20:42 and 20:46. "They really came on strong in the last mile," said Warhurst. "That shows that when we start getting into some longer races that these two! guys are really going to help us." Jon Cross, who took last year off to begin dental school, ran his most impressive race since his return to competition. Running free and easy throughout the race, Cross looks like he's ready to start picking up some of the slack that was created by the illness of Mike McGuire. Doug Sweazy was Michigan's other standout, as he completed the circuit in 20:24. Overshadowed by Michigan's fine individual performances was the team trophy the squad brought across the border. The Wolverines scor- ed 19 points to outdistance the British Milers Club for team honors. " NATIONAL MED. & DENT.

Stressing fundamentals and conditioning throughout the preseason drills, Michigan coach Sandy Vong is very optimistic about the upcoming season, promising to improve upon last year's 8-17 mark. "We are definitely stronger at this point in the season than in previous years," stated Vong, now in his fourth year of coach- ing here. THIS YEAR'S VARSITY team is extreme- ly young, with five freshwomen, five sopho- mores and one junior. As a result, coach Vong has found it difficult to assess the true caliber of the team. "I know that we will be good," he re- marked, "but it's impossible to tell just how good at this point. It all depends upon how fast some of our younger players develop." Included among those five sophomores are three returning letter winners from last year. 4-11 playmaker Jamie Spohn will team with spiker Ginny Whitter and 5-11 center- blocker Carel Pennington to form the nu- cleus of this year's team. Coach Vong pointed to the overall inex- perience of the team as its major weakness. "Everything depends on how they can react under game situations. They must also learn to play together as a team. Volley- ball is such a team-oriented sport," he said. ON THE OTHER HAND, Vong noted sev- eral strengths of his volleyballers which he hopes will offset their inexperience. "We are a tough serving club," he said. In addition, the coach expressed his pleas- ure with the movement and positioning of his players. Regarding tonight's opening tri-meet, Vong expects a tough match, since both Western and Central are intra-state rivals compet- ing with the Wolverines for state post-sea- son honors. Looking ahead at the schedule of games to come, Coach Vong noted the strength of Michigan State, number one in the state and number nine in the nation last year. The women volleyballers will face the Spar- tans in East Lansing on November 9. Nette By GARY SWAN YPSILANTI - Barbara Sel- den staged an exciting three-set come-from-behind victory yes- terday to highlight the Michigan women's tennis team's 9-0 shut- out of Eastern Michigan. It was the second win for the Michigan women, who have yet to drop a match this year under new coach John Atwood. For most of Selden's team- mates, yesterday's matches were just a chance to tune up for stiffer competition in the coming weeks. It was a two- set afternoon for the Wolver-E ines, with few losing more than a single game en route to easy victories. But for Selden - Michigan's current number one player,' though she disclaims the honor -the two hours spent on the Eastern Michigan courts were among the toughest of her so- far brilliant (32-2) intercollegiate career. To make matters rough on the five-foot-three sophomore, her opponent was long-time friend and courtmate Barbara Fisch- rs ley, wh well as Fiscl 6-1 in though comet, rout o knew Selden's game as she did.
