Page 10- The Michigan Daily - Friday, September 16, 1983 'M' runners chase distant goal *ow IR\ AO LSA STUDENT GOVERNMENT will be interviewing for various positions on Sunday and Mohday, September 18th and 19th. Applications are avail- able at the LSA-SG office and are due on September 16th. POSITIONS INCLUDE: By MIKE MCGRAW The 1983 cross country season is' about to begin... but Michigan's run- ners aren't ready yet. In fact, they don't really need to be. The entire effort of this year's harriers is pretty much directed at the race on November 20 in Lehigh, Penn - the NCAA champion- ships. It is at this race alone that a team's ability is given its place among its competitors in the collegiate ranks. When compiling the top ten in cross country, the only result that counts comes from the nationals. THE SAME holds true for the Big Ten championships. Dual meets and in- vitationals meanDnothing in the con- ference standings, so Wolverine coach Ron Warhurst isn't going to bother with very many, scheduling only three races before the Big Ten meet Novem- ber 5 in Champaign. "I think it helps not having much competition," said the tenth-year coach? "Some of our training workouts are harder than races, plus you have to be mentally prepared for racing. This way you don't have to be ready every week. Big Ten's and nationals are what count." And when it's all on the line in November, the Wolverines have th.e talent to be close to the top in both races. Michigan returns prolific distan- ce runner Brian Diemer, who is NCAA champion in the 3,000-meter steeplechase and was a cross country All-American in 1982, placing 18th at nationals. BUT ITS top runner in last year's NCAAs, Gerard Donakowski, will have to be replaced and that job has been given to second-year freshman Chris Brewster. Last season the London, On- tario native broke his ankle in October and missed the fall competition, but performed well during outdoor track and has the ability to be one of the best in the nation. "Our top two runners will be as strong as they were last year, and we will be stronger in the 3-7 spots," said Warhurst. "There will be a lot of com- petition for the top spots on the roster, so they'll have to work even harder." Fighting for those spots will be retur- nees Dennis Keane, Dave Meyer, Jim Schmidt and Bill Brady. All were part of last year's second place Big Ten finishers. Keane, a junior out of Berkley, surprised many by winning the time trials run on Michigan's 5.2- mile course last week at a 21:14 pace. SENIOR TRACK standout Doug Heikkinen also returns after a bout with mononeucleosis last season. "My history in cross country isn't great, but I'll try really hard since its my last year," said Heikkinen. "I think the team will be as good as last year if not better." What may make the difference in put- ting the harriers over the top this year is the pleasant performance thus far of the freshman runners. That talented group includes former Michigan high school cross country champion Joe Schmidt, Jim's younger brother; Jeff Costello out of Grand Rapids; and Eugene, Ore. migrant John Chambers. chance to case the course in Lehigh as they compete in the Lehigh In vitational, also site of the NCAA cham pionships. Then the following week they travel to East Lansing for the a> nual Michigan State dual meet. The Spartans will provide almost no com petition but their course is the site of this year's district meet, the qualifying race for nationals. When the big races finally rol around, Michigan will be facing big competition in all three from Wiscon sin, last year's NCAA champs. Th( Badgers return all their runners, bu Michigan Cross-Country Coach: Ron Warhurst, 10th season, four Big Ten titles. Last Season: The Wolverines took second place in the Big Ten and grabbed sixth place in the NCAA, the best performance ever for Michigan harriers. Biggest Loss: Gerard Donakowski, All-American, seventh place finish in 1982 NCAA meet, to graduation. Bright Spot: Return of Brian Diemer, All-American, finished 18th in 1982 NCAA meet, Olympic hopeful. LSA COLLEGE COMMITTEES LSA " Admissions Committee " A . Curriculum Committee .

"That's a good position to be in so that they can get their experience and learn from the older guys and not be under a lot of pressure right away." SO READY or not, the season opens a week from tomorrow at the Springbank Road Races in London, Ontario, a traditional trip for Warhurst coached teams. The other two races in the regular season will be preparation for later meets. On October 8th, the Wolverines get a last April their coach Daniel McClimon was killed in a plane crash, leaving the squad with some adjustments to make. "Wisconsin willbe hell to beat, but Deimer and Brewster are as good as their top two," said Warhurst.'"I think we'll be in the top six in the country." Despite a short cross 0ountry seasgn this year, it's a long time until Noye ber 21, when the Wolverines will get a chance to beat last year's sixth-place finish in the country. So the team can be forgiven if it looks ahead in the schedule. U I Heikkinen ...back from illness ".r.+v sa v aa saiaf t.Uu Then Stop Into Village Corner And Check Out These Specials!

The women harriers topped off last year's season by winning the NCAA's midwest district and finishing eighth at the NCAA national meet. THIS YEAR, however, several strong runners will not be returning, accor- ding to coach Francie Goodridge. "We have a very young team this year," said Goodridge. "They've got their work cut out for them this year if they want to make it back to the nationals again this year." Goodridge has high hopes for several young runners including sophomores Sue Schroeder, who had the sixth fastest time for a freshman at the NCAA meet last year, and Bonnie CHIPS AHOY (19 oz.). . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . .

FRESHMAN Jennifer Rioux from Livonia is 'expected to make an im- mediate contribution to the team. Rioux finished second at last year's state Class B cross country meet. This year's first meet will be a lear- ning experience for Michigan's run- ners, according to Goodridge. The team will be opening up its schedule at the Midwest Collegiate Invitational meet in Kenosha, Wis. on Sept. 24. "We're going to this meet mainly to gain some experience," explained Goodridge. "Our early meets should be the toughest this year." Goodridge expects all of her runners to improve toward the middle of the season in preparation for this year's midwest and national NCAA meets. "The key to this year's team will be the performances of our younger runners," she said. BOSTON (AP) -- Wade Boggs, the major-league batting leader, featured a 15-hit attack with a double and two singles last night as the Boston Red Sox defeated division-leading Baltimore 7- 1, snapping the Orioles' six-game win- ning streak. The loss trimmed Baltimore's American League East lead over Detroit to five games, but the Orioles still have a six-game advantage in the loss column. The Tigers were idle last night. SOUTHPAW BRUCE HURST, 12-10, became Boston's winningest pitcher with relief help from Bob Stanley as the Red Sox handed the Orioles only their second loss in the last 10 starts, and fourth in the last 23. Hurst allowed seven hits, including Cal Ripken Jr.'s 24th homer, in seven innings before Stanley finished up. With three hits in five times at bat, Boggs raised his average to .361 in his 61st multiple-hit game of the season. He has had three or more hits 22 times. JERRY REMY, Jim Rice, Rick Miller, Dave Stapleton and Gary Allen- son had two hits apiece for the Red Sox. rebuik Schroeder -..returning sophomore Rice, Reid Nichols and Allenson drove in two runs apiece. Storm Davis, the first of three Baltimore pitchers, took the loss. Davis, 12-6, was tagged for nine hits and five runs in 41-3 innings. The Red Sox jumped in front to stay on a single by Remy, a double by Rice and a sacrifice fly by Nichols in the first inning. Doubles by Boggs and Rice made it 2- 0 in the third and Boston went on to add one run in the fourth, two in the fifth, one in the sixth and one in the seventh. Red Sox break Oriole streak, 7-1 Bonder upsets Lloyd TOKYO (UPI) - Lisa Bonder, at17- year-old from Saline, knocked off top- seeded Chris Evert Lloyd 7-5, 4-6, 6-4 in the major upset of the $200,000 Queens Grand Prix Tennis Tournament,4 yesterday.
