4 Page 10 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, October 11, 1983 WEEKEND WRAP-UP M runs strong at Lehigh race i AW K THE SPORTING VIEWS By TIM MAKINEN The Michigan cross-country team got a look at this year's NCAA champion- ship course when it travelled to Lehigh, Pa, last weekend to run in the Lehigh Invitational. Unfortunately for the Wolverines, they also got a good look at the heels of the defending NCAA cham- pion Wisconsin Badgers. Nonetheless, Michigan finished a very strong second place in the 24-team race. "WE HAD a very tight group with everyone just 40 seconds apart," Michigan coach Ron Warhurst said. "Right now we're strong but not very quick and fast. I'm somewhat disap- pointed because Wisconsin totally ran away with the race." Indeed, the Badgers were awesome. [Notching the first, second, fourth, eighth, and ninth spots, Wisconsin tallied an incredibly low score of 24 points. Michigan, by contrast, had a total of 98 points, followed by Georgetown with 122 and Navy with 192. Sophomore Dennis Keane paced Michigan with a time of 30:41 in the 10,000 meter race for a 12th place finish. He was quickly followed by teammates Brain Diemer (30:50, 14th place), David Meyer (30:58, 19th place), Chris Brewster (31:01, 23rd place), and John Chambers (31:20, 30th place) as the Blue came across the line in a cluster. Wolverine Bill Brady completed the course in 31:06, but was entered in the Open race where he captured second place. 7 HAIRCUTTERS * NO WAITING DASCOLA STYLISTS Liberty off State...... 668-9329 Maple Village........ 761-2733 By racing at Lehigh, the Wolverines now have first-hand knowledge of the course where the NCAA championship will be held in November. Warhurst feels this will make the race "not seem as long" for the Blue runners, and he will adapt some workouts to match special conditions of the demanding Lehigh course. "We've got a lot of improvement to make," added Warhurst. "Wisconsin looks awesome, but I don't think they are going to get a whole lot better. There's no way they are going to put five runners in front of Brian Diemer again." Women harriers second After a disappointing performance in its first meet, the Michigan women's cross-country team bounced back to finish second at the Western Michigan Invitational meet in Kalamazoo. Out of nine teams running in Satur- day's meet, only Marquette managed to outrun the Wolverines. Michigan finished with 53 points, nine behind the Warriors' winning total. MICHIGAN State, the only other Big Ten team in the meet, finished in sixth place with 141 points, while host Western Michigan took third with 78. Sue Schroeder, Michigan's top run- ner, finished sixth overall despite being bothered by a foot injury. "I'm really pleased with the effort," said coach Francie Goodridge. "I thought we could beat Marquette but that injury (to Schroeder) really hurt us. If Sue was healthy, I would have expected her to finish in the top one or two places overall." MICHIGAN HAD three other runners place in the top 16 at the meet. Cathy Schmidt, a transferstudenthfrom Saginaw Valley, finished seventh, and Kelli Bert, Bonnie Mc Donald and Carol Lam finished in 11th, 13th, and 16th places respectively. "Our top five positions are really shaping up and our freshmen are beginning to make the transition to college running," said Goodridge. "We're still not where we should be, but things should be improving in the next couple of meets." -MIKE REDSTONE Spikers fall twice While the cry of victory could be heard all the way from East Lansing, not all of Michigan's athletic teams had reason to celebrate this weekend. The women's volleyball team saw its con- ference record drop to 2-6 with losses to Wisconsin and Minnesota. The squad's disappointing road trip began on Friday in Madison with a loss to the Badgers, 11-15, 12-15, 15-10, 15-13, 14-16. Despite a fine performance by Alison Noble, Michigan saw a 13-8 lead disappear in the last game when its serving game fell apart. Noble connec- ted on 29 kills for an impressive .490 hit- ting percentage (kills minus errors divided by total attempts). Noble also paced the defense with 14 digs. ON SATURDAY, the spikers fared no better, suffering another loss, this time to Min- nesota. Scoring in the four-game match went 7-15, 15-11, 13-15, 9-15. Taking a 7-0 lead in the third game, Michigan hoped to turn the match around, only to watch Minnesota come back and win, 15-13. "Game three was the turning point of the match," said head coach Sandy Vong. "It was a tough loss, and after that the girls were tired." Jennifer Hickman's 11 kills and .292 hitting percentage accounted for most of Michigan's scoring. The weekend defeats left Michigan with little hope to make it to the Big Ten tournament, in which only the top two finishers of each division are eligible. "MATHEMATICALLY, we're not out of it," said Vong. "But our chances look slim. -BARB McQUADE Golfers place fourth The Michigan women's golf team traveled to Big Rapids this past weekend and placed fourth in the six- team tournament held at Ferris State College. Michigan's total of 690 was 45 strokes off the pace set by tournament winner Michigan State. Ferris State and Bowling Green tied for second with 689. Kathy Teichert of Michigan State won medalist honors with rounds of 80 and 79 for a 36 hole total of 159. Freshman Val Madill led the Wolverines shooting scores of 87-82 for a 169. She was followed by Missy Bauer, 170, Sandy Barron, 174, Luanne Cherney, 177, Jan Idomir, 187, and Lisa DiMatteo, 191. -JEFF HARRISON In Action Women's Volleyball Today, 7:00 p.m. at Eastern Michigan in Ypsilanti. Coach Sandy Vong's team came back from a weekend road trip to Wisconsin and Minnesota without any major injuries, but with two straight losses. The 12-7 Wolverines hope to bounce back with a victory over the Hurons. f walls and tunnels... a sportswriter's first marathon By SCOTT McKINLAY SUNDAY, 9:00 a.m. 4103 runners, 46 rollers (wheelchair runners) and I started the sixth annual Detroit Free Press Marathon. Five months and some 1,000 plus miles of training and sacrifice culminated for me as the mass of runners set out from Windsor. By sacrifice, I mean being forced to miss something or having to do something that no stable person would even consider. In the past 5 months these sacrifices where many. They included having to 1) miss Chet Lemon's famous Rod Carew catch, 2) forego Chicken McNuggets the night before the race, 3) run in the same socks more than once between washings, 4) miss the Lions whip Green Bay, 5) go to work with wet hair, 6) buy a new battery for my digital watch, 7) miss Hill Street Blues twice, 8) look like an idiot waiting in a ReadyTeller line while jogging in place, 9) fall asleep in the most ex- citing classes Michigan has to offer, 10) go the last 17 days prior to Sunday without so much as a sip of alcohol. (Did I see any of you at Charley's last night?) Those were some soul-searching sacrifices; let me tell you. After a nervous 10 minutes of waiting, the gun sounded and the bobbing throng of runners started out from Jackson Park in Windsor. From there, entrants traveled the only underwater mile in marathoning, through the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel into the United States. From Detroit, runners went through the cities of Grosse Pointe, Grosse Pointe Park and (rosse Pointe Farms, and back to the finish line on Belle Isle. The people of "the Grosse Pointes" were unbelievable in their quest to be kind to the runners. During my tour of the area, I was offered everything from wet sponges, water and orange slices to peppermints and kleenex. These people were openly excited about our attempt at finishing the 26.2 miles. The run just prior to entering the neighborhoods of the Pointes, along the shore of Lake St. Clair, was a difficult one. The wind was blowing very hard, slowing the pace for all. I though that maybe next year, with their big tax base and all, the kind people of the Pointes would put a roof over Detroit; it's just an idea, to help us poor runners. Prior to Sunday's race, I had run in one marathon since high school, the 6.2 mile Emily's fun run in early summer. I had never run 26.2 miles before. The farthest I had ever run in my life was 20 miles, and in training for the Free Press 15 was tops. All the pre-race literature I had read warned me of "the wall" I would hit sometime after 20 miles. At the 22 mile mark, the deterioration began, I hit the wall head on. By the 24 mile mark, I was running so slow the wind was practically blowing me backwards. Had I been prepared, I would have had knee pads for which to crawl with. The wall I hit must have been built by the Chinese. Lost more than my breath I managed to finish in 3 hours 2 minutes and 35 seconds, good enough for 429th out of 3553 that also survived. Once I actually crossed the finish line, I decided to get a second look at the coffee cake I had had for breakfast. I threw up. Nothing like getting a little breathing room in the crowded finish area. My shoes are a noticeably different shade of gray. After a few minutes, I was well enough to sample some of the free food and drinks that various sponsers donated. This included yogart, granola bars, pop (not soda), applejuice and lots of water. For $8.50 it was not bad at all. Incidentally, post race soreness is a definite reality. The day after the race, speed is non-existant and stairs become mountains. If you were "lucky" enough to get behind me on my way up three flights of stairs to my 10 o'clock in Mason Hall, you were probably as late, too. Such were my rewards for finishing my first marathon. All taken into ac- count, the race was a success. I look forward to the whole event next year, except I think I'll skip breakfast. 1 Noble ... shines in losses AND Proudly Presents CAMPUS "MEET THE PRESS" Guest Speaker of the Week HENRY JOHNSON Vice President for Student Services DAY: Wednesday, October 12, 1983 TIME: 4:00 p.m. Kuenzel Room, PLACE: The Michigan Union ALL ARE INVITED TO ATTEND!!!
