LEWIS DOUBLES UP AT NCAA:
Michigan relay team na

""_"-

By SARAH SHERBER
Special to the Daily
DETROIT - Though Michigan was
only entered in one final event during
yesterday's NCAA indoor track cham-
pionship, the host team did not let the
9,000 fans down, as the distance medley
team rallied to a third-place finish.
Their performance, coupled with
James Ross's fourth-place jump on
Friday night, gave the Wolverines 10
total points in the meet and tied them
with four other teams for 15th place in
the nation.
Michigan pooled its resources for the
relay. Both Mike Shea and Dan
Heikkinen had qualified for the NCAA's
in individual events, yet they decided to
devote their talentsi to the distance
medley event.
"IT WAS UP to Heik (Heikkinen),"
said Shea. "If he wanted to run (in the
relay) we were going to do it. I think of
it this way - if Heik runs well, he'll
make me an All-American."
Heikkinen received plenty of help

from his fellow teammates as the quar-
tet did just that - captured all
American honors.
The race got off to a shakey start
when the Bowling Green and Villanova
half-milers fell during the first leg and
forced Shea to run around them.
Though the mishap devastated the
Falcons, Bowling Green went on to win
the heat.
RUNNING THE MIDDLE legs for
Michigan were Ken Gardner, who ran
the quarter-mile, and Brian Diemer,
who posted the best time for the 1,320-
yard leg with a time of 2:57.6.
Michigan coach' Jack.Harvey,. who
was named NCAA track Coach of the
Year, wasn't surprised by the relay's

finish. "I saidbefore the meet that we'd
finsih in the top three, and we finished
third," he said. If a couple of breaks
had gone our way, we would have done
better."
Texas-El Paso (UTEP) captured its
sixth national title in the last eight
years by winning the team competition
with 76 points. Following UTEP were
Southern Methodist and Tennessee,
with 51 and 33 points, respectively.
EIGHTEEN OF UTEP'S points were
accounted for by the 27-year-old Tan-
zanian Suleiman Nyambui. The 1980
NCAA cross country champion was
favored to win the two-mile run, but in
the most exciting race of the champion-
ships, Doug Padilla from Brigham

Young and Nyambui ran neck-and-neck
into the gun lap. Padilla pulled ahead at
the stretch to win the race with a time
of 8:26.52. Padilla is the only American
collegiate runner to ever defeat Nyam-
bui in a track event.
Nyambui got revenge in the mile run,
however, when his time of 4:01.85
proved too much for Padilla, who
finished in 4:01.96.
Carl Lewis, who won the long jump on
Friday night, became the only double
winner of the meet when he ran the 60
yard dash in 6.16. Herschel Walker, the
freshman football sensation from
Georgia, qualified for the semi-finals,
but then finished last in his heat.

coach, Dave Rankin.
"MY COACH HAS been coaching for
some thirty-plus years and he's had lots
of All-Americans. On his wall he's got a
lot of All-American certificates.
There's one spot left on the wall. We've
been kidding around that we'd fill it this
year before he retires. That was
priority," said Langford.
.Langford did not enter the meet
thinking of himself as the favorite, but
he was not surprised by the results.
"I didn't expect to win it, but I knew I
had a shot," said Langford. "My
progression has been perfect. We
geared this whole year to the Big Ten's
and nationals. Now is when you want to
be on."
Although his victory is one worth
savoring, Langford has set a goal for
himself which, if reached, would over-
shadow yesterday's feat.
"I FEEI LIKE 1984 is my year. I
train for the Olympics. That's
everyone's goal, to win the gold medal.
Especially since it's here in the United
States," he said.
Because of his victory, Langford
believes that the Midwest pole vaulters
may finally gain some overdue
publicity. "People are going to have to
look around, because track isn't only in
the east coast and west. There are a lot
of good performers who are in the mid-
west that sometimes get overlooked,"
he said.
