Run-around: 'M' harrier Lewis leads double life By JOHN FITZPATRICK How many cellular biology-chemical engineering I majors do you know who run 95 miles per week? ess you know Dave Lewis, one of the best cross- country runners on Michigan's team, it's not likely you know of anyone fitting that description. Lewis, a senior this year, is one of the most talented runners in the Midwest, though his collegiate career has had its ups and downs. Considering the daily routine Lewis follows, it is easy to see why this for- mer prep standout (a runner-up All-American while in school) has had an erratic career. UP AT 6:30 every weekday, Lewis heads out the oor for his first run of the day, an easy four-miler. I en there are classes from 8:00-3:00, followed by practice, then a trip to the library "until 11:30 or 12." That Lewis has managed to run times such as 29:25 for the 10,000 meters with a hectic schedule such as this is amazing. Lewis's achievements are many, including a win' last indoor season in the Central Collegeiate Con- ference three-mile (13:33), and a second place in the Big Ten three-mile. The successes have been -tem- pered by failure, though, as when he trudged to a "disappointing" sixth-place finish in the Big Ten 10,000 last May. "I've never really lived up to my potential," reflec- ted Lewis. "I've been variable as - a competitor. I think the first time I was near my potential was last winter, when I ran some good three miles." Lewis's dedication to training in the midst of the heavy academic load put upon him his pre-med studies is spoken of time and again by teammates. "He's dedicated, a very hard worker," said Bill Weidenbach. Dan Heikkinen echoed the statement. "He's really dedicated-he has some heavy classes, so it's tough to find time to run." So did Brian iemer: "He has a super attitude-and he's really dedicated." COACH RON WARHURST, always a believer in Lewis's talent, is pleased with the progress he's made this season. "Dave had been studying for the MCAT's early in the season,so he wasn't getting much sleep, and his races showed it. He thought he did real well after he took them (the MCAT's),and that positive at- titude, along with his getting some sleep, have helped. He had a great run at the Central Collegiate's (where he finished seventh) last weekend." Lewis is also optimistic about the progress he's been making this fall. "I'm getting fitter every week. I'm hoping to break into the top 25 American finishers at the nationals." Have Lewis's studies hindered his development as an athlete? "Yeah, without a doubt," he says. "You can do one or the other, but to do both really well is impossible." AS FAR AS long-range goals are concerned, Lewis, like many U.S. trackmen who are about to graduate from college, is faced with a dilemma. With financial support and readily available coaching and facilities gone, and with the necessity to spend a vast amount of time working for a living, or, as in Lewis's case, engaged in post-graduate studies, an accomplished amateur athlete finds training to be a difficult, if not impossible, task. Although private corporations, such as Nike (with its Athletics West club) and New Balance (New Balance Track Club), have set up programs to support the post-collegiate athlete, many, like Lewis, will still find the going tough. "Right now I'd like to break 29:00 in the 10,000 out- doors, and after that I don't know," said Lewis, while discussing his long-term goals. "I'm mainly thinking about getting into med school now." It goes without saying that the opportunities for running will be slim for Lewis in medical school, but he wants to continue: "It would be very hard to leave running," he says. A typical week of training for Lewis, whose mileage volume of 90 to 95 miles per week leaves one wondering how he gets by with only six hours of sleep most nights, consists of fast road-runs of ten miles, intervals on the track, and occasional hill workouts, which have been reduced by Warhurst. "We've given him more intervals and taken him off the hillwork," said Warhurst. Lewis's race at the CC meet indicates that this training change is helping. LEWIS IS AN anomaly among Michigan athletes; his modest self-image ("I'm not a very confident in- dividual"), articulate speech, and scholastic in- clination are, in most cases, the exception rather than the norm, in big-time college athletes. Part of his character comes through in this anec- dote related by Diemer: "During workouts Dave will always let me get in front of him. He doesn't try to be competitive during training; since he knows you should save competition for races. He really helps to unify the team, doing things like that." With the praise of lis coach and teammates and some outstanding performances behind him, and medical school and a somewhat cloudy athletic future ahead, Dave Lewis continues to train and study, hoping to reach the potential he knows lies in- side of him in some race, some day.

DAILY LIBELS at Presidential Debates SPOR TS OF THE DAILY: Softball coach named By JOHN KERR Bob DeCarolis, an assistant coach on last year's Michigan softball team, has been named to replace outgoing head coach Gloria Soluk. Soluk, who is also the head coach of Michigan's women's basketball squad (and who will stay on in this capacity), said that the softball coaching job "was always just a temporary position." "When I was hired (to coach women's basketball in 1977) there was no softball team. I was asked to serve as head coach for the first few seasons in order to get things off the ground," Soluk said. "I was relieved of it (the softball coaching duties) since it was known that women's basketball requires a full time coach," said Soluk. De Carolis served as an assistant coach at the University of Massachusetts before coming to Michigan to serve in the same position. De Carolis, said Soluk, is "an outstan- ding coach and player." DeCarolis is entering his second year of service as an administrative assistant to Athletic Director Don Canham. He has been recently involved in preparations for the Department of Education's current investigation of alleged sex discrimination in the University's athletic program. LeFlore, Winfield free agents NEW YORK (AP)-Outfielder Ron LeFlore, the base-stealing wizard with the Montreal Expos, was one of three players to declare for free agency yesterday. But his announcement lacked the fanfare and publicity affor- ded Dave Winfield's winding freedom trail. Besides LeFlore, who swiped 97 bases in 139 games for the Expos this year, catcher Marc Hill of Seattle and out- fielder Vic Harris of Milwaukee also made their free-agent intentions known, raising to 38 the number of players who so far have decided to par- ticipate in the Nov. 13 re-entry draft in New York. Winfield declared for free agency last Wednesday, the first day permitted un- der the rules. But that decision has clouded the Padres' efforts to trade Winfield and get something valuable in return. That cloud could be lifted when the results of a poll of the major league clubs are revealed. The owners were asked Tuesday by Ray Grebey, director of the owners' Player Relations Com- mittee, if they objected to the Padres signing-Winfield with the understan- ding that he would be assigned to, another club. If the Padres don't sign Winfield by Nov. 10-three days before the free agent re-entry draft-their only com- pensation for the three-time All-Star would be an amateur draft choice. The New York Yankees are interested in a deal, and if one is made they reportedly would send outfielder Joe Lefebvre and two other players to San Diego. The catch is that the Padres would have to sign Winfield to a contract first, and that's a real Catch 22 situation. The Catch 22 comes in because Gre- bey says any contractual guaran- tee-without the consent of the owners-requiring a trade to the Yankees would be illegal. BOAIT at t~ (ouq 1140 South University 668-8411 Detroit 2, Chicago 2 DETROIT (AP)-Reg Kerr and rookie Denis Savard scored 14 seconds apart in the third period to lift the Chicago Black Hawks to a 2-2 National Hockey League tie with the Detroit Red. Wings last night. The comeback began 30 seconds after Chicago successfully staved off the Red Wings for 1:38 while short two men. Kerr's first goal of the season came at 11:18 when he tipped a blast by Mike O'Connell past Detroit goalie Gilles Gilbert. Savard, Chicago's No. 1 pick in the NHL amateur draft, tied the contest only 14 seconds later when he beat Gilbert with a slap shot from 65 feet out. u of M loves roast beef at r: #1 4 4 ;4 4, :4 4 4 ' .4 '1 %.4 o4 1 I 11 Lean, Trim & Delicious.
