The Michigan Daily-Friday, March 11, 1983-Page 11 'M' tracksters enroute to Blard leads qualifiers By JOE EWING Five Michigan women athletes will o something this weekend- that Bo chembechler's gridders and Bill Freider's cagers couldn't do this year - compete in an NCAA championship. Those five, all members of Michigan's Big Ten indoor champion women's track and field team, vie for national titles today and tomorrow at the NCAA Indoor Championships at the Pontiac Silverdome. LEADING THE WAY for the' eIverines is miler Sue Frederick- Fxster, who last weekend brought home thleBig Ten championship with a school record 4:40.91. The senior distance specialist is confident, but still uncer- tain about her chance. . Anything can happen," said Frederick-Foster. "I would like to be in thetop three, but it's hard to say." ,Michigan sports another Big Ten champ in high-jumper Joanna Bullard, who cleared 5'11%/" earlier this year, a olverine record. The All-American w',on both the Big Ten indoor and out- door titles in 1982 and was fifth inside and third outside in the nationals. Wolverine long-jumper Lorrie Thor- nton hopes continue the improvement that brought her 'a Big Ten title this year. After a slow early season start, Thornton hit for leap of 19'11%", good enough for the conference crown. Other hopefu'ls include senior two- miler Melanie Weaver, who has a top Wolverine time of 10:11.89, and freshman 600-yard run ace Joyce Wilson, who holds the Michigan record of 1:20.50. Men send four to Silverdome By MIKE BRADLEY The Big Ten indoor track season has been completed, and many of the fine athletes who competed this season will sit back in anticipation of the Big Ten outdoor campaign. But the nation's elite sprinters, jum- pers, vaulters and runners will shuffle off to Pontiac today and tomorrow to compete in the NCAA men's track and field championships. AMONG THE GIFTED athletes competing for national laurels at the Silverdome are Michigan's Todd Steverson, Brian Diemer, Gerard Donakowski, and Derek Harper. All four have bettered the qualifying stan- dards set by the NCAA and stand ready to win NCAA championships. Michigan is the host team at the event, an honor enjoyed since Don Canham initiated the meet at Cobo Hall in 1965. Michigan coach Jack Harvey ex- plains why the championships are not likely to leave the Silverdome for a long while. "WE'VE MADE money for the NCAA every year," he said. "Michigan does NCAA's not make any money on the meet at all, it all goes to the NCAA." All of Michigan's qualifying athletes stand a chance of scoring. Harper, with a season best long jump of 25'3", and his best jumping ahead of him, could fit inito the top five. Diemer and Donakowski will both compete in the two-mile event, although Diemer also qualified for the one-mile run, where he has broke the four-minute-barrier earlier this season with a 3:59.9 against Michigan State. DIEMER WILL not run in the mile, however, due to the fact that the qualifying heats for the two events are one after the other. Steverson, a freshman, qualified last week in the 600-yard run at the Big Ten championship meet. His time of 1:10.01 was a personal best. The glamor event of every meet is the mile run, and Indiana's Big Ten cham- pion Jim Spivey joins three other sup- four-minute milers in the dash for the championship in that event. No Big Ten school holds much hope for winning the national crown. Villanova, perpetually strong in the distance events, Tennessee's spring standouts, and Southern Methodist, with a plethora of field event stars, are the early favorites for the title of NCAA National Champion. The field events and qualifying heats for the track events take place Friday night, and the finals are Saturday af- ternoon. 1 1 1 "CLASSES TAUGHT IN ENGLISH" 1 The Medical program of Universidad Tecnologica De1 1 Santiago (UT ESA) in Santo Domingo, Dominican 1 Republic is tailored after thetraditional U.S. model of Medical Education and is fully accredited.

Oddly enough, this is not because the defending champion Wolverines face the undefeated and top-ranked Ohio State squad. Rather, the problem is due to low scores compiled by the injury-riddled Michigan squad which resulted in a sixth- place ranking for today's competition at Iowa City. The Wolverines will now have to compete in a rotation with the conference's worst three teams, leading judges to expect poor performances, and to possibly withhold the top points. And that is dama ging to Michigan's morale. "I'm disappointed that we're in the first rotation," said all- arounder Dayna Samuelson who finished second on vault at the 1982 Big Ten championships. "It made a lot of us mad." It made coach Sheri Hyatt angry, too. "We're at a psychological disadvantage ranked sixth," said Hyatt. "But that's the only thing that's going to hurt us." Hyatt believes the squad is capable of placing third. But to do that, the Wolverines must notch scores in the low to mid 170's. "We've only had four decent scores in the 170's (this season)," explained Hyatt. "What we are looking for is to hit four out of four events and get a high score, because we still have a chance for regionals." That chance depends heavily on good individual scores this weekend. If judging is consistent, Michigan has the potential to do well. But the fact remains that a sixth-place team has never won the Big Ten Championships.
