4 Page 10 - The Michigan D-jily-- Tuesday, November 15, 1983 Harriers make By MIKE REDSTONE After placing four runners in the top 10 and finishing second in the NCAA District meet, the Michigan men's cross country has qualified for next week's NCAA Championships. Michigan's Brian Diemer and Chris Brewster ran their best races of the season and finished in second and fifth places respectively on the snow-covered Michigan State course. DENNIS KEANE finished eighth and Dave Meyer crossed the line tenth to round out the Wolverines' top finishers. Michigan's fifth man, Bill Brady, placed 21st in the district despite suffering from a severe cold. Michigan coach Ron Warhurst was impressed with his team's performance in the poor weather con- ditions. "We ran a very strong race," said Warhurst. "There were two or three inches of snow on the cour- se, but that didn't seem to bother our guys at all." Wisconsin won the meet with the running of John Easker, who won the race in a time of 29:49.3. MICHIGAN AND Wisconsin will be joined by Pur- due and Illinois, the third and fourth place finishers, in the NCAA championships at Lehigh, Pa. Warhurst believes his team has the confidence it needs going into next Monday's meet. "We're definitely looking forward to a top four or Place second in Districts five finish at nationals," said Warhurst, whose team finished sixth in the nation last year. The team will undergo only two heavy practices in the next eight days and should be well-rested accor- ding to Warhurst. The runners will have to be rested if they hope to compete with national favorites Wisconsin and the University of Texas - El Paso. Women harriers place 12th A string of injuries, illnesses and accidents affected Michigan's top four women cross country runners and resulted in the team finishing in 12th place in a 20- team field in the NCAA District meet Saturday at East Lansing. Michigan's number one runner, Sue Schroeder, was pulled just before the start of the race because of stiffness in her knee. She was spiked last week at the Big Ten meet and could not strengthen her knee strongly enough to run.. rationals CATHY SCHMIDT, a transfer student who quickly moved into the team's number two spot, was fighting a case of the flu and could not run up to her potential. The Wolverines' number three runner, Kelli Bert, got caught in the pack early in the race and lost a shoe. She did, however, run over a mile on the slushy course without the shoe before withdrawing with a twisted ankle. "She (Bert) was running extremely well even without the shoe," said coach Francie Goodridge. "It took me a while before I even realized that she had lost it." THE FINAL team casualty was at least an expec- ted one for Goodridge. Judy Yuhn, the team's num- ber four runner, has been out with in injury since the middle of October. Because of the difficulties, Michigan's number five runner Bonnie McDonald, finished first for the Wolverines (45th overall). It was the best race of the season for her, according to Goodridge. Despite her illness, Schmidt finished in second place for Michigan (54th overall) while Melissa Thom- pson was the third Wolverine finisher. The top two finishers in the district meet, Wiscon- sin and Minnesota, will go on to compete in the NCAA championships next week. Wisconsin is favored to win the meet according to Goodridge. - MIKE REDSTONE Stoyko joins 'M' hoopsters SPOR TS OF THE DAIL Y: Grapplers dominate own tourney By JIM DWORMAN The first recruit of the Michigan basketball season appears to be the type of player Bill Frieder thought he had two years ago. Steve Stoyko, who signed a national letter of intent with the Wolverines last Friday, fills, from all indications, Michigan's void at the shooting forward position. RICH RELLFORD and Robert Henderson were supposed to assume that role when Frieder signed them out of high school in early 1982. Neither, however, played the position with consistency last win- ter. Stoyko, a 6-9, 193-pounder, said last night that he might be the wing player that Michigan needs. "What they (Frieder and his staff) see in me is a shooting forward and that's what I think Frieder wants," Stoyko said last night in a telephone interview from his BayVillage, Ohio home. "I think he wants me playing on the wing where I can catch the ball, shoot it, and score. "Everyone said they're (the Wolverines) loaded with forwards, but from talking to coach Frieder and watching practice, they really don't have a shooting forward. They're all power forwards." STOYKO AVERAGED 19 points and eight rebounds per game as a high school junior. Last summer he attended the prestigious Five-Star Basketball Camp, where he played in the all-star game. "He was only there one week but he played very well," said camp director Howard Garfinkel. "Everyone said that was the top week - player-wise - of any camp this summer and he made our all- star game." Garfinkel added that Stoyko was evaluated as an excellent passer, a good shooter, an intelligent player and a good rebounder. "THE BEST thing about him is that he can take it to the basket," said Garfinkel. "He's a center that can make the switch to forward in college because he's mobile. Most high school centers take two years to learn how to play facing the basket in college." Stoyko's coach, Rich Voiers, said, "Steve's biggest asset is that he's very quick for his size. He runs a 4.5 in the 40 (-yard dash).d" Voiers. estimated Stoyko's shooting range at 15 to 18 feet. The coach graded Stoyko's ball handling ability as "average, with the idea that we're trying to improve it." STOYKO CHOSE MichiganFafter visiting Northwestern, Ohio State, Duke and Virginia. "I asked myself, 'What school would I go to if I wasn't playing basketball?' " the A-minus student said. "Michigan was always there. I'm interested in pre-med and the medical school enticed me to come to Michigan." Dave Bones' Cage Scope, which last year rated current Michigan freshman Antoine Joubert the top high school player in the nation, listed Stoyko as the 73rd best. * * *- After reviewing the films of last Saturday's 78-70 Michigan victory over Athletes in Action, Frieder didn't have much to smile about. "We've got a long way to go," he said. "Individual offense. Individual defense. Team offense. Team defen- se. Our transition game. Con- ditioning. We need to improve in every phase of the game." * * *, Sophomore forward Paul Jokisch, sidelined for two weeks with a dislocated finger in his left hand, is shooting again in practice. Jokisch will have the finger re-examined November 21 before returning to regular practice. By GARY EFFMAN Though last Sunday's Wolverine Open was admittedly little more than a tune-up against smaller mideastern colleges, the Michigan wrestling team showed little need for adjustment. The team performed like a finely geared machine, decimating the visiting com- petition. "We worked real hard in the pre- WEDNESDAY; LIVE CRAB RACES 10p.,m. GET LUCKY -CHEER FOR YOUR FAVORITE CRAB! season and it showed," boasted Michigan head coach Dale Bahr. It didn't merely show, it glared, as the Wolverine grapplers captured titles in eight of ten weight classes. The team was paced by its veterans, who performed like the 'Ole reliables' they've become. The trio of Rob Rechsteiner (Hwt) Kirk Trost (190 lbs.), and Scott Rechsteiner (177 lbs.) showed the stuff that qualified them for last year's NCAA tournament, easily disposing of their opponents. Mike DerGarabedian (134 lbs.) Brian Flack (158), and Joe McFarland (126) also gave an exhibition on the benefits of ex- perience, decisively taking their divisions. A FRESH JOLT OF octane was provide by:some new sources as well, especially Kevin Hill (167) and fresh- man William Waters (118), the first 'M' freshman to win his first tournament since McFarland. "Hill should be a real surprise for us, he had a great tournament," Bahr said. When asked about Waters he answered, eyes gleaming, "To step right in as a freshman and win six straight matches is remarkable. He has that wrestling maturity, he knows he can win even when he's behind. He's going to have a great career here." The only major disappointment of the tournament was a leg injury suffered by sophomore Tony Latora. Latora is expected to be a major component in Michigan's team plan. "We need him for the season," explained Bahr. "He's Tum blers win at Western The Michigan's men's gymnastics team earned first place this weekend in the Bronco All-Around Classic at Western Michigan University, defen- ding last year's team and All-Around titles. Captain Merrick Horn, Gavin Meyerowitz, Rich Landman, Brock Orwig and Mitch Rose combined to put Michigan first in the six-team com- petition. "IT WAS A unique competition for us," said coach Bob Darden, "in that the win was based on the strength of our all-around performers (finishing) in the top three positions in each of the even- ts." Horn set the pace for the young team by taking top all-around honor, with freshman Meyerowitz placing second. Horn tallied a 53.40 over the six events while Meyerowitz was close behind with a 53.00. Additional support came from sophomore Landman and fresh- men Rose and Orwig. The top three scores counted for the team total, as Michigan finished first with a score of 158.40, followed closely by Illinois with 157.60. And Indiana State in third with 156.65. Western Michigan, Northern Illinois, and Kent State took fourth, fifth and sixth respectively. "WE WERE PLEASED with the per- formance at the Bronco in that we defended our title," said first-year coach Darden. Next weekend the Wolverines will be competing against the nation's best at the Windy City Invitaitonal in Chicago. Darden is looking ahead to the in- vitaitonal and will try to pull together the individual strengths. "In order to give a good accounting for ourselves we are going to tap on the talents of the rest of the squad to give us the depth in Ithe fourth and fifth positions on each event in establishing a team score." - SUSAN BROSER 4.

In showing themselves to be such unhospitable hosts, Michigan's grap- plers achieved their goals for the tour- nament. The wrestlers got their first taste of competition of the season and confirmed what Bahr had expected. "We're going to be a well-balanced team," said Bahr, "Barring injuries, I don't think we'll have a weak position on the whole team." Michelle Sadler unsaddled the rest of the competition by winning Griddes for the second time this year. She picked 18 winners in earning her second pizza. This week's Griddes takes on extra importance because the Daily Libels will actually put their 652 game winning streak on the line against the Ohio State Lantern, the school newspaper of our arch-rival to the south. In addition, the Libelles, the Daily's women's squad, will square off against the Lanternet- tes, the Lantern's female counterpart. These games will not be broadcast on television, because both ABC and CBS have used up their telecasts of the par- ticipating teams, but they will count towards the Griddes scoring. The Lantern has won the men's game the past three years, but this years Libels team is coming off a vintage year in which it made the 'A' playoffs in the independent bracket. The prognosticators are split. Place your bet. Turn in your picks at Pizza Bob's on S. State or Church or at the Daily of- fices by midnight Friday. 1. Ohio State at MICHIGAN (Pick score) 2.

Ah, there is nothing like the traditional fare for the holiday season. The tem- ptation to gorge is unbearable. Yet, as all athletes know, those few extra pounds that usually accompany our hedonistic indulgences can make it unbearable while in the midst of heated activity. You're always the last one down the court. Your friend can pin your shoulders to the mat faster than you ever imagined. SO WATCH WHAT you eat this Thanksgiving and Christmas because the Intramural Sports department has competition planned for all different sports late this semester and all of next just to keep you huffing and puffing un- til you drop. Wrestling is the first of the winter sports and, unfortunately for the wrestlers, the meet begins the day after Thanksgiving break. The weigh-in is November 28 between 11:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. at the Sports Coliseum. For those of you who eat too much turkey, plan on wrestling at a higher weight than usual. The single elimination tour- nament runs from Monday through Wednesday nights. The most popular intramural sport at Michigan is basketball, which starts the season with between 400 and 500 teams. Instant scheduling for basketball is run November 29, 30 and December 1, bet- ween 11:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at the In- tramural Sports Building. The three- game season begins immediately after Christmas break. THERE ARE NINE intramural spor- ts scheduled this winter for interested participants. They are: inner tube water polo, swimming, mini soccer, paddleball (individual and team), volleyball, ice hockey, badminton and foul shooting. Each sport is designed so a team can enter and compete with other teams. But you do not have to be on a team to com- pete; some sports have individual com- petiton. If you wish to be on a team but cannot find one yourself, the In- tramural sports building has a 'need to be placed file' where a person can leave his name and the sport he wants to play, and hope a person looking for players calls him. There are even jobs for people looking to officiate contests. Anyone can be a referee regardless of knowledge or past experience. THE INTRAMURAL sports program at Michigan is extensive and well- organized. All men and women students are eligible for play in every sport. "Michigan has one of the oldest, most established programs in the country," said Jeanne Monich, assistant director of campus recreation and IM sports. "It's really just the tops. The students are getting the top services and facilities."
