Page 10-The Michigan Daily- Friday, January 22, 1993 Men's track faces Women's track hosts Red Simmons Invite fast field i by Tonya Broad Daily Sports Writer The Michigan men's track team has one more chance to prove itself in competition before scores are recorded. Substantial competition is ex- pected tomorrow at the Michigan Relays. The meet will commence at the Track and Tennis Building at noon. Michigan State, Eastern Mich- igan, Central Michigan, Bowling Green, Toledo and Toronto will bring their respective teams to Ann Arbor. In addition, many non-affil- iated runners will participate. Michigan track coach Jack Harvey is looking for more experi- ence for the freshmen and an overall team improvement. Harvey remains uncertain about the future. "It's hard to say what I expect," Harvey said. "The freshmen ran well last week (at EMU), but we're curious to know how good they really are." The progression of the team as a n Relays whole has been substantial. How- ever, Harvey downplays the fresh- men's accomplishments because there has been little pressure up to this point. This weekend should be a perfect opportunity to partially prove themselves. The high jump and the 3,000-meter run should be hotbeds of competition. Notable high jumpers include Dennis Lewis (unattached), who placed second in the NCAAs a couple years ago, and Toronto's Alex Zaliauskas. Not to be out done, the 3,000 me- ter run should prove to be just as challenging an event with former NCAA champion and bronze medal- ist Brian Demer. Demer was a capt- ain for last year's Olympic track team, runs for Nike International, and will compete at the meet unattached. Harvey feels it will be a quality meet for the runners and a great spectator event. Prelims should finish around 3 p.m., with finals starting up around 7 p.m. by Michael Rosenberg Daily Sports Writer The Michigan women's- track team opens its home season with a pointless meet today at 5 p.m in the Track and Tennis building. That's "pointless" as in "a meet without points," not as in "a mean- ingless meet." The reason no score will be tallied is that runners would then be forced to compete in several events in one day, which could cause injuries. In fact, the team figures to find out a lot about where it stands in the Big Ten. This weekend's 12th annual Red Simmons Invitational will feature Bowling Green, Toledo, Toronto, Central Michigan and Cleveland State, in addition to the Wolverines. Still, assistant coach Mike McGuire thinks that Michigan's main compe- tition is itself. "It's not going to be a real high- profile meet," McGuire said. "I think we're going to be mainly competing among ourselves. We have some runners who could be challenged by other people on our team." Leading the way for the Wolverines will be all-Big Ten per- former Molly McClimon, who will compete in the mile. Other top run- ners include Chris Szabo (3,000 'This meet should give us a better idea of how good we are.' - Mike McGuire Michigan track coach meters), and Courtney Babcock (800). Michigan figures to be strong in the field events as well. Ronda Myers will put the shot, and Monika Black is the Wolverines' best long jumper. "We've made some progress," said McGuire. "This meet should give us a better idea of how good we are and of what are chances are at the Big Tens, which will be the first weekend in March."

Richardson will not be bringing his top three swimmers to Purdue. He has decided to rest the swimmers that have qualified for NCAAs - Lara Hooiveld, Alecia Humphrey and Kathy Deibler. "I want the number two people to step up and get the job done," Richardson said. "It will be good for them to perform at that level. It will help their preparation for Big Tens." The swimmers will not be resting especially for this meet. Richardson hopes to train hard, and not start ta- pering for Big Tens for another week or so. But the Boilermakers are not exactly a pushover. "Purdue is a good, solid swim- ming team," Richardson said. The Boilermakers have several swimmers with good showings at the conference and national level. Junior butterflyer Kim Fritsch finished fourth at last year's NCAA champi- onships, which was the highest fin- ish ever for a Purdue woman swim- mer.

"At Michigan, you're dealing with their personnel," Henson said. "They're very physical. They're strong on the boards. They have a great post attack. They can beat you one-on-one. They're just really an outstanding ballclub." As for the Wolverines, Ray Jackson is still listed as questionable for his return to the Michigan lineup. Out since December with a sepa- rated right shoulder, the sophomore may see limited action Saturday but is more likely to make his return next week against Ohio State. 0 About Mini-Courses and UAC Registration Dates Registration Site Mini Courses is a committee of the University Activities Center (UAC).
