Women's Tennis vs. Notre Dame Saturday, 1:30 p.m. Chippewa Racquet Club SPORTS NCAA Tournament First and Second Round at Minneapolis $36 Ticket Package on Sale Today, 9 a.m. Athletic Ticket Office The Michigan Daily Tuesday, March 11, 1986 Page 7 I ankers tops in Big Ten By LISA CHERNEV The story sounds familiar. Michigan defeats Indiana for the Big Ten title. Only this time there are no national television cameras. Or 14,198 screaming fans. And on the sideline you won't see familiar faces like Cazzie Russell or Bill Frieder. The man on the sideline grinning from ear to ear is Jon Ur- banchek, men's swimming coach. Twenty-six years ago this time Urbanchek had similar cause for celebration. He helped lead the Wolverines to the Big Ten title as a swimmer. NOW IT'S TIME to wipe off the dust that has gathered in the men's swimming trophy case since then, because Saturday, at the Indiana University Natatorium, the Wolverines overcame a 40 point deficit on the last of three days of competition to surpass the Hoosiers. "We knew we would have to go in there and put in more than our best," said Jan-Erick Olsen. And they did. The win was a team effort, ac- cording to butterflier Dave Goch. "Time is important," said Goch, "but we beat Illinois (fifth place-' 257 points) and Iowa (third place- 537 points) because of a team ef- fort. We set a team goal for (the Big Ten championship). We gave up Christmases. We had double practice on Christmas. I shaved my head. Look at me, I look ridiculous, but for us it's the. world." Michigan finished with 603 points to Indiana's 593. The Wolverines took three first-place, six second- place, and seven third-place finishes. ON THE FINAL day in In- dianapolis, Olsen set a meet and Big Ten record in the 200 Breast- stroke with 2:01.81, which also qualifies him for the NCAA Cham- pionships. It was Olsen's win that put the Wolverines ahead, but ac- cording to Olsen, "It was con- sistent swimming all day," that won the meet. Teammate Marc Parrish finished second in that race (2:02.44). Freshman Marty Moran finished second in 200 butterfly (1:48.05) and the 400 freestyle relay team of Joe Parker, Greg Varner, Dave Kerska, and Moran placed third, with 2:58.69, to make the final splash over Indiana. MANY RECORD-BREAKING performances surfaced in the championship meet. Iowa's John Davey led the way by shattering meet and Big Ten records in the 400 individual medley (3:48.27) and the 200 butterfly (1:46.35). Davey's teammate, Tom Williams followed suit by changing the records in 50 freestyle (:19.97), as well as the 400 freestyle relay team of Mike Curley, Todd Slaybaugh, Tom Williams, and Ed Lower (2:57.08). Indiana, the only team with more Big Ten swimming cham- pionships than Michigan (23-20), set a meet and Big Ten record in the 100 Backstroke (:49.38). During the Big Ten season, Michigan qualified for the NCAA Championships to take place on April 3 and 5 in nine of the twelve events they entered. Kerska (50 freestyle, :20.34; 100 freestyle, :44.40; 200 freestyle, 1:37.98), Parker (100 freestyle, :44.69; 200 freestyle, 1:38.13), Olsen (200 breaststroke, 2:01.81), Marc Parrish (200 breaststroke, 2:02.44; 400 individual medley, 3:56.47), and Bill Kopas (1650 freestyle, 15:20.98) all qualified for in- dividual events. Olsen ...record breaker HEAVYWEIGHT STALKS NCAA CROWN: Trost: last chance for a title By SCOTT SHAFFER "I like to improve every year, and last year I was second, so . .." Kirk Trost's voice trails off. The heavyweight wrestler, co-captain of the Wolverines, doesn't want to admit it, but anything less than an NCAA championship would be a letdown. Trost has to live up to these lofty expectations because his previous wrestling accomplishments make a national championship the only logical ending to his collegiate career. The fifth-year senior qualified for the NCAA tournament for the fourth time in as many years by winning the Big Ten heavyweight title on March 1. The victory in the finals, a 12-1 win over Indiana's Bill Paxton, upped Trost's record to 39-6. Trost's chance to improve on last year's runner-up finish at the NCAA's Dwill come on Friday at Iowa City, a town that can fill its 15,000 seat arena for collegiate wrestling. .This time, he will have the advan- tage of three years of NCAA tour- nament experience on his side, a fac- tor he considers invaluable. "Last year's experience will help me a lot - especially in the early rounds when nerves can be a factor. Each year the tournament seems smaller. I guess that's just from being there before." Trost's road to Iowa City began about nine years ago, when he took up wrestling as a 135-pound eighth grader in New Lenox, Ill. After that, it was on to Lincoln Way High School where both his size and ability began to grow. As a senior, he won All-State honors for the second time and became the Scholastic Wrestler of the Year for Illinois, a tribute to his performances 0 as both a wrestler and a student. While the young Trost was com- peting at 165 and then 185 pounds, he came to the attention of Michigan's head coach Dale Bahr. "I was looking for a 190-pounder," says Bahr, "it was a very pleasant surprise when Kirk was able to make the transition to heavyweight in his junior year - (of college)." Illinois, Purdue and Indiana were the other schools Trost considered, *but Michigan won out because Trost took a liking to the University's academics and to Bahr and his staff as well. In 1981-82, Trost won three of his fir- st eight matches before he was red- shirted. After that, Trost would go on to meet his goal of annual im- provement, posting a 23-13 and 25-13 marks while wrestling at 190. At the beginning of his junior year, Daily Photo by PETE ROSS Monica Borcherts prepares to drive her two-handed backhand yesterday in a match against Toledo. Borcherts won her singles match 6-3, 6-2, and lost, along with doubles partner Leslie Mackey, 6-2, 6-3, in the Wolverines 8-l romp. Wo men netters take Toledo bystom By ERIC MAXSON It was a bleak, rainy, and for- tunately, Blue Monday at the Track and Tennis Building yesterday. As rain drubbed on the roof, the women's tennis team did some drubbing of their own underneath, defeating the University of Toledo, 8-1. The domination was led by first singles player Paula Reichert, a 6-2, 6- 4 victor over Toledo's Renu Dewan. Reichert teamed with Tina Basle in first doubles to defeat Dewan and Kalika Dalvie, 6-7 (5-7), 6-3 6-4, in the tightest match of the day. Down 4-3 in the third set, Basle and Reichert set- tled down and won the final three games to take the match. COACH BITSY Ritt wasn't entirely happy with the match, however. "Sin- ce they both won in singles, I thought they should have done better," she said. Basle downed Christy Smith in second singles, 6-0, 6-1. Throughout the meet, however, when the going got tough, Michigan was clearly superior, dominating in singles second sets. The Wolverines' only cause for minor concern, was in doubles. "We were strong in singles," said Ritt, but "we looked flat in doubles." As the Big Ten season approaches, the weakest point on the team seems to be second doubles, where Monica Bor- cherts and Leslie Mackey lost to Toledo's Jenny Gilger and Ann Harrah, 6-2, 6-3. RITT WAS pleased overall with the meet, but cited the need for "more consistency," especially while facing two tough teams this weekend in Eastern Michigan and Notre Dame. Michigan fell earlier this year to Eastern. Ritt expects a difficult time of it, but says that, "If we play well, we'll win." The Toledo match, though, was never in doubt. Erin Ashare played especially well, pounding Amy Hud- son in sixth singles, 6-0, 6-0, and teaming with Tricia Horn in third doubles for a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Hud- son and Christy Smith. Other winners in singles for Michigan were number three Leslie Mackey, downing Jenny Gilger, 6-4, 6-4; number four Tricia Horn, beating Kalika Dalvie 6- 1, 7-5; and number five Monica Bor- cherts, squashing Ann Harrah 6-3, 6-2. The big win was exactly what Coach Ritt expected. Last year, Michigan also defeated Toledo 8-1. They are one of a string of relatively weak teams that the women netters face in preparation for the Big Ten season, which will heat up in April. In the meantime, they must get ready to face Eastern Friday in Yp- silanti, and back home on Saturday against Notre Dame. With any luck it'll be another Blue weekend. Daily Photo by MATT PETRIE Kirk Trost (left) talks to a teammate in a recent practice. The Big Ten heavyweight champion will travel to Iowa City for the upcoming NCAA, his fourth and last attempt at the national title. Trost, who now weights 225, was having trouble making the weight at 190. "Dale and I decided that I should wrestle as a heavyweight until Christmas. It felt a lot better -not having to cut all that weight and I was successful, so I decided to stay there," says Trost. Trost ended the year losing to Tem- ple's Bill Hyman for the national crown. That loss left him 44-11 for the year. Trost's previous performances at the Big Ten championships have fulfilled his quest for constant im- provement. As a freshman, he finished fourth at the Big Tens and then climbed one notch a year three times, culminating with last week's victory that set the stage for the trip to Iowa. Perhaps the biggest obstacle bet- ween Trost and a championship is his size. The average heavyweight is usually anywhere from 240 to 275 pounds. On occasion, Trost has even wrestled opponents in excess of 350 pounds, such as Gary Albright of Nebraska, who won a referee's decision over Trost in the Northern Open in November. When Trost is outweighed by over 100 pounds, he must rely on his speed and conditioning. "I have to push them hard," he says, "and wait until they're tired before I try to take them down. If you wind up underneath them, its pretty hard to get out." As paradoxical as it may seem, Bahr feels that Trost's lack of size for a heavyweight has actually helped him. "Most heavyweights were always pudgy kids who used their weight to push around the little guys. Kirk never had that luxury, so he had to learn all the techniques to win at the lower classes. Now he uses them against the big guys," said Bahr. What's in the future for Kirk Trost? "I'm going to get my degree in May," said Trost, "after that, I'll probably return as a graduate assistant coach here and maybe train for the 1988 Olympics." But that is all the distant future compared to the task at hand - a national championship. "This is it for me. It's a do-or-die situation. I know I can win, but I'll have to wrestle the best matches of my life." Kirk Trost has improved every year of his career. If he loses even one more match, the string will be broken. Wings deal for 'D' DETROIT (AP) - The Detroit Red Wings traded co-leading scorer Reed Larson to the the Boston Bruins for Mike O'Connell yesterday, then dealt Greg Smith and John Barrett to the Washington Capitals for Darren Veitch. All the players involved are defen- semen. The Red Wings have the worst record in the league, 14-47-6, and have allowed a league-high 350 goals. "It's obvious we're allowing too many goals and we needed to strengthen our defense," Red Wings General Manager Jim Devellano said. Also yesterday, the Red Wings sent goaltender Mark Laforest, left wing Bob Probert and right wing Ted Speers to their American Hockey League affiliate at Glen Falls, N.Y.
