Schroeder to lead 'M';
Harriers to be Badge red

Around the Big Ten

BY MARK BROWSKY
"When you say Wisconsin..." In
women's cross country, you've
said it all. For lack of a better
jingle, it's the song the Wolverine
squad is singing going into the 1985
season.
"On paper it doesn't look like we
can run with them (Wisconsin),"
said Michigan women's head cross
country coach Sue Parks.
"WISCONSIN IS incredible,"
said senior harrier Kathy Schmidt.
"I know we're never going to beat
Wisconsin."
"If we have a really good year,
we can come in second (in the Big
Ten)," said All-American Sue
Schroeder, "behind Wisconsin."
Defeatism? Perhaps. But con-
sidering the Badgers return all but
one runner from a team that cap-
tured the 1984 NCAA cross-
country title, the Badgers seem
unbeatable, indeed. Yet that does
not mean anyone on the Michigan
squad is giving up.

"WE HAVE a good, solid
group," said Parks. "The key is
the pack has to move up."
"The pack" means all of the
team's runner except Sue
Schroeder-"To move up" means
to come closer in performance to
Schroeder. No easy task, since
Schroeder is an All-American in
both cross-country and track,
where she was second last year in
the 5,000 meters. Schroeder is so
good, in fact, that she sometimes
works out with the men's team.
"None of the girls can keep up with
her," says Parks of the senior from
Napoleon, OH.
The team is in a period of intense
training, which includes long
distance training and weight lifting
three times a week. Although the
early training will help the team in
the long run, it will leave the squad
somewhat depleted for their
opening meet, the Missouri Invite
September 21 in Columbia.
BUT IF THE Wolverines are to
be competitive-they finished tied

in the Big Ten last year-some of
the team will have to keep up with
Schroeder. Schmidt, who doubles as
a miler for track is being counted
on, as well as fellow middle distan-
ce runner Melissa Thompson. Two
relatively unknown competitors, a
junior transfer Sheri Sly and
freshman Tracy Babcock, have
impressed Parks in practice.
And against the Badgers,
Michigan needs all the help it can
get. Still, despite Wisconsin's ap-
parent domination, Parks sees
some, although faint, hope.
"Anything can happen," she said
remembering that last year the
Wisconsin men's team was expec-
ted to walk away with the Big Ten
title and came in third.
"Miracles do happen," added
Schmidt, who was quick to point
out the same occurence. Unfor-
tuantely, the Tooth Fairy may be
singing a beer jingle at this very
moment.

Southern Illinois (1-1) at

JIVERTY, MUS ICAL 8OCETY

BY RACHEL GOLDMAN
This week will be the telling week
or the upcoming men's cross country
season, according to Michigan coach
Ron Warhurst.
Formal practice started just last
week with the beginning of school.
Coach Warhurst decided he woundn't
bring the team in early because, as he
said, "they all know what they have to
do." He planned tough workouts this
week.
"BY NEXT week, I'll know a bit
ore about how the team is going to
e" Warhurst said. The tough
workouts planned for the rest of this
week include a timed 8-mile run and
an "easy" 10-mile run. By next week,
Warhurst expects the team will be
"the walking wounded".
Michigan is hosting the Big Ten
Men's Cross Country Championships
on November 20. Warhurst expects a
top three finish. Wisconsin is
"loaded", according to Warhurst, and
ie next two places will be between
s team, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota
or Michigan State.
Number one runner Chris Brewster,
who ran a 28.39 in the 10,000 meter last
spring during track season, will be
returning along with Joe Schmidt, a
second place winner in last year's
Big Ten Steeple Chase. Bob Vanden-
berg, the fourth man on the NCAA
championship team, also returns.
Other promising runners include
it Fraleigh from Ann Arbor
ioneer, Erik Koskeinen from Sch-
wartz Creek, Mike Fredericks from
Ann Arbor Huron, John Scherer from
Maryland, and Darrel Zeck from
Saline.
GRIDDE PICKS
Back to school in Ann Arbor means
lines. No, not the kind of lines they are
talking about in Pittsburgh. Lines of
*ot, bored, tired people waiting.
Waiting at financial aid. Waiting at
the cashier's office. Waiting at the
bank. Waiting at CRISP.
But according to University
professor of lineology Harold Wallen-
da Von Bannister, the worst line in
town is the line at the green box for
Gridde entries, on the second floor of
the Student Publications Building.
The overwhelming popularity of
Griddes has caused problems for
Oniversity security, which is forced to
keep the Daily offices open 24 hours a
day.
If you can handle another line, drop
off your Gridde picks at 420 Maynard
before midnight tonight. Anyone in
line at the stroke of midnight will be
given an override for next week.
The contestant who correctly lines
up the most winners will get his choice
of a full-tray Sicilian or Chicago stuf-
d pizza or whole submarine san-
wich from Pizza Express, located at
ooley's. As a tie-breaker, incude the
total number of points scored in the
Michigan game.
