No sweep for women's
track in first meet of '89
BY MARK KATZ
Although the women's indoor track team did not fulfill Coach James
Henry's prediction of a clean sweep, the squad took first place in seven-of-13
events in Saturday's Michigan Relays at the Track and Tennis Building.
The team's performance against nine nearby schools in their first meet of
the season still pleased Henry.
"Overall, I think in every event we participated in I was pleased," Henry
said. "We didn't win like I wanted to do but that was a challenge I presented
in front of the group."
THE DISTANCE runners, fresh off the cross-country team's seventh
place finish in the NCAA National Championships, continued their
dominance with first place finishes in the distance medley relay, middle
distance relay, two mile relay, and mile relay.
"Everybody just had a really strong, solid performance," said cross-
country coach Sue Foster, who coaches the distance runners during the track
season.
Henry was "pleasantly surprised" with the performance of junior Lisa De
Vries, who, in the high jump, recorded the best jump of her college career at
5'9"
"I was really pleased that (De Vries) attempted NCAA qualifying standard
the first meet of the year," Henry said.
IN ADDITION, rookie Alison Smith, in her first college meet,
impressed Henry by capturing first place in the long jump and the middle
distance medley relay, and second place in the high jump and shuttle hurdle
relays.
Henry's one disappointment involved Alaina Davis, who didn't get a
chance to compete because of a freak injury to her quadracepts.
The indoor track team returns to action next week at the Illinois
Invitational in Champaign, Ill., where the competition is sure to be tougher
"For next week, we're going to have to really get our minds on running
because if Illinois is ready to run or not, they're going to be very
competitive," Henry said.
Foster is optimistic about the teams chances next week. "I think we'll be
in there. Illinois has some really good sprinters but their distance runners
probably aren't as strong as we are," Foster said.
