The Michigan men's cross coun- try team ran away with its meet Friday afternoon, finishing first in the four-team competition in East Lansing. The Wolverines placed five runners in the top ten en route to de- feating Macomb Community Col- lege, Anderson University, and highly-touted Michigan State. "It was a really strong win for us," team co-captain senior Tony Carna said. "Everybody ran really well. For most of the race, the ma- jority of the team hung together in the front of the pack." The Wolverines, ranked 16th in the nation, sent 12 runners to East Lansing, as opposed to the usual nine. Team morale was cited as the determining factor in holding such a large group together throughout the duration of the race. "Team spirit was the key," first- year runner Jim Finlayson noted. "We stuck together and helped each other out. As we began to separate, we tried to keep in pairs. When one person started to fall off, his 'partner' encouraged him and helped him out." "Team unity was key in having so many people place in the top 10," Carna added. "I was really surprised BIG TEN Continued from page 5 Lions roar onto the scene in 1991 af- ter being only the fifth team to go undefeated over the course of an en- tire season a year ago. While 1990 National Coach of the Year Russ Rose brings in a program which never lost an Atlantic-10 match (49-0 over seven seasons), he is wary of Big Ten competition. "Anyone in the Big Ten can beat anyone else," Rose said. "I'd be happy to finish that high (pre-season No. 4)." Indiana (3-6) has gotten off to a slow start this season. While the Hoosiers return senior middle blocker Colleen Jordan and two sophomore outside hitters, Jill Kerkhoff and Marcia Drummond, coach Tom Shoji feels that the lack of a "go to" player can work both ways for the Hoosiers. "We are difficult to defense be- cause we have no real weak hitters," Shoji said. "The downside is that if we're not ready to play as a team its very difficult. We have no player we can consistently go to, to put the ball away." Shoji is not the only coach con- at how many people stayed up front. Our ninth man this year was as fast as our fourth last year. Everybody ran a really strong race." The possibility of an upset over archrival Michigan State, favored to win the Big Ten in the preseason coaches meeting, provided addi- tional motivation for the Wolverines. "We were really excited at the prospect of knocking them (MSU) off," Finlayson noted. "They were the team that was supposed to beat us. The team is really happy and our morale is great." The Wolverines were led by Shawn McKay, who placed third overall. McKay was followed by junior co-captain Dan Oden (fourth), Harriers triumph in tourney by Sharon Lundy The Michigan women's cross country team came through with a decisive victory at the Michigan State Invitational meet Friday. The top seven Wolverine runners fin- ished in third through ninth place as the team topped second-place Mich- igan State, finishing with 28 points to the Spartans' 58. Helping lead the way for Michi- gan were two promising young run- ners. Rookie Karen Harvey ran a per- sonal best, leading the Wolverines with a third-place finish of 17:51. Sophomore Jessica Kluge followed Harvey across the finish line with another personal best of 17:55. Kelly Chard took fifth with her 18:06 finish. Chris Szabo finished right behind Chard in 18:07, earning a sixth-place finish. Rachel Mann finished seventh with a time of 18:13. Carrie Yates also ran a personal record with her eighth-place finish of 18:27. Captain Megan Nortz fin- ished ninth with a time of 18:28. "It just goes to show we are the best team in the state," Nortz said. The individual meet winner was Michigan State's Misti Allison, who finished in 17:31. Western Michigan's Stacy Kilburn took sec- ond-place honors and -led the Bron- cos to their third-place score of 75. Central Michigan finished fourth overall with 86 points, while Ma- comb Community ended its day with 137 points. Coach Sue Foster was pleased with her team's performance. "Everyone (all twelve runners) ran really well," she said. "They raced as well as they have been practicing. Everyone ran competitively. It's' always nice to see blue Michigan" shirts coming across the line one, right after another." Wolverine Amy Bucholtzx missed this meet because of her sis- ter's wedding, but she will return to action this weekend when the- team travels to the Dartmouth Col- lege Invitational at Hanover, N.H. Finlayson (fifth), Carna (seventh), and Chris Childs (ninth). "It wasn't a blowout, but it was a solid win," Carna added. "This will mean a lot for us in the upcom- ing week."

Eric Dickerson scored the first two Colts' touchdowns but was held to a career-low 17 yards on 13 carries. Dickerson is now fourth all- time on the NFL rushing list with 12,121 yards. cerned with not having a "go to" player. Purdue assistant coach Mary Ann Spitzer feels that might be her team's biggest weakness. The Boil- ermakers (2-5) lost four senior to graduation and have no players who started the entire season last year. Purdue was picked to finish sixth in the league but Spitzer said the team's goal is to crack the top three. Northwestern and Minnesota, both with 2-6 records, have already gone through periods of inconsis- tency. Each team hopes to improve on last season's performance and finish in the middle of the pack. Ranked No.9 in the pre-season poll, Iowa (2-6) will face some tough times this season. The Hawkeyes lost all six starters and their head coach from a team that made its first post-season appear- ance in 1990. Moreover, Linda Schoenstedt was not named the new coach until a few days before prac- tices began. She can only look to re- build this year. Another rebuilding team is Michigan State (1-6). The loss of three key veterans from last sea- son's eighth place team does not bode well for the Spartans, who are picked to finish last this year.

Washington St. Ann Arbor VOLLEYBALL Continued from page 1 game two before it began its come- back. Horrigan and junior setter Tarnisha Thompson took control, blocking and spiking the Wolver- ines back into the match, taking the momentum in the process. The Wolverines rallied back and took game two on a Horrigan kill, for side out, and an ace for the game. The domination by Horrigan and Thompson continued into games three and four. Thompson ended the match with 47 assists. Her lively play excited the crowd and fired up her teammates. At points in both games, when the Wolverines looked to be faltering, Thompson came through with key plays to stop the Huskies from making the match any closer. She was named a member of the all-tournament team. Along with the play of the vet- erans, three first-year players shined this weekend. Robyn Read had three critical kills in game four against the Huskies and proved to be a dan- gerous substitute. Setter Julie Scherer played most of the match' against Georgia State and responded-, with 31 assists. Middle blocker Aimee Smith played in nine of tho- 10 games this weekend and also earned all-tournament honors. Against the Huskies, Smith had 20 digs and a .318 hitting efficiency. u "(Aimee) has found her little niche in our program," Bradleys Doppes said. "We have some really good re- cruits who are very aggressive," Horrigan added. Michigan now enters the Big Ten season with confidence. Only three-, other teams have better than .500 records. Considering that last year at this point Michigan was 1-9, the Wolverines have reason to be opti- mistic. q. d Si Call for Audition Information: 763-1107 i _ l " Thursday September 26 4:00 pm A Dr. Rodolfo Acuna Director of Chicano Studies Department California State University, Northridge SIdentity and the Factionalization of the Chicano Community in the 1980s Henderson Room, Michigan League 911 N.
