In their quad-meet at Stanford two weekends ago, Michigan achieved their highest score ever with a } 184.2, eclipsing their previous re- cord, achieved the week before against Missouri, by nearly two entire points. Last week at Wis- conson, the Wolverines recorded an equally impressive score of 183.35. Coach Dana Kempthorn was ex- cited about the team's progress and pointed to the performance of senior all-around gymnast Janne Klepek, who achieved a personal best all- Friday, March 10, 1989 Page 9 DOWN BY TWO AT HALF, 'M' FALLS BY 18 Iowa cruises to 79-61V Klepek around score of 38.1 at Stanford, earning her first place. "Janne definitely has about 95 percent qualified for a trip for her to the regionals," Kempthorn said. "She must do well (at least a 37) in the all-around in the next two meets. "This weekend should be really critical. If we could go 184 or 185, we would really be looking good for a seat at regionals." Kempthorn added: "I'm really pleased with the girls' performances. We've been going into each meet with a lot more determination, confidence and consistency."

The loss of Hall and Carol Szczchowski, who got her fourth foul with 14:21 left in the second half, would mark the beginning of Michigan's fade. The lead quickly opened to six, followed by a Berry three-point play to put the score at 48-39. STRINGER felt that it was more than Hall's injury that allowed her team to take control. "Even though we switched defenses, it really didn't matter, the bottom line 0 icor was that we had to move much quicker," she said. With the score 61-47, Brown hit a three-point shot to cut the lead to eleven, but that was as close as Michigan would get. With Hall still gimpy, the Wolverines became de- pendent on their outside game. Iowa picked up the tempo to a speed more to their liking. "I felt they quietly crept up on us," said VanDeWege about Iowa's surge. "It was a pretty steady move. I was pleased that the team kept a cool head and pretty consistent play." '7aC& Michigan baseball team. season with a 9-game journey in Florida BY JAY MOSES . The Michigan baseball team opens its 1989 season with a nine-game Florida road trip, beginning this weekend with games today at Stetson, and tomorrow and Sunday at Central Florida. Since they have been unable to practice outside, the Wolverines enter this trip with their perennial disadvantage. Teams in warm weather areas have already played several games, so Michigan coach Bud Middaugh is looking forward to catching up. "The ability to get outside (is important)," Middaugh said. "To read (the players) inside is impossible." The biggest concern for Middaugh going into the season is the lack of experience on the team. Of the 28 players on the Spring roster, only five are seniors and 15 are underclassmen. Many of last year's talented players were lost to graduation as well as the Major League draft. Top pitchers Mike Ignasiak and Chris Lutz were picked by the Milwaukee Brewers and the Chicago Cubs, respectively. Hardest of all, though, was the loss of Olympian and Sullivan award winner Jim Abbott, who was drafted by the California Angels. "WE LOST an awful lot of people," Middaugh said. "We've got young people at key positions. Our goals are still the same: to do well and take it one game at a time. Youth has nothing to do with that." As for Stetson and Central Florida, Middaugh is not taking these games lightly just because they are the first of the season. "(Central Florida) plays the Miamis and the Floridas and hold up pretty well," Middaugh said. The best Michigan has done in the past against Central Florida is a split of two games. Middaugh described the trip as a "competitive situation" and added that he will be "interested to see how (the players) handle" that situation.
