Moeller:

They say time heals all wounds.
But nobody ever says how much time.
Michigan coach Gary Moeller
doesn't think he'll be around long
enough for the wounds from this
weekend's last-second Colorado loss
to heal.
"You never get over it," Moeller
said in his Monday press conference.
"You're not supposed to. It's a life-
time thing."
It wasn't just the loss. Moeller has
lost about one out of every five times
in his career, so if he isn't used to
losing by now, he at least knows how
to deal with it.
It's the way the Wolverines lost
that hurt.

than anyone thought he could.

Predictability.
It's not usually a characteristic
that many athletes strive to have. But
don't tell that to the Michigan
women's cross country team.
For the second straight year, the
No. 5 Wolverines fulfilled everyone's
predictions, claiming victory Satur-
day in the Mountain Classic West.
This despite the fact that they are
now without all-world runner Molly
McClimon, who graduated last year
and this year's team leader, All-
American junior, Courtney Babcock,
who was out with a knee injury.
However, two Michigan runners
did manage to surprise everyone at
the event. Freshman Deanna Arnill,
running in her first collegiate meet,
led all Michigan runners and man-
aged to finish second overall, with a
time of 21:03. Hers was just 22 sec-
onds behind the winning time.
"Our team won this event last year
and they just wanted to repeat," Arnill
said. "We were all going in there just
trying to run as well as we could.
"I didn't go into the event with any
expectations," Arnill added. "I don'tgo
by what happens in practice."
Another freshman, Eileen Fleck,
finished tenth overall with a time of
21:37.
More important than the individual
results for the Wolverines was their
defeat of No. 6 BYU and No. 11
Oregon. Before the event, coach Mike
McGuire had stressed the importance
of beating teams from other regions.
However, senior All-American
Karen Harvey downplayed the im-
portance of the race.
"We use these early events to see
where we are at compared to other
teams," Harvey said.
In all, seven of the 28 team mem-
bers made the trip to Montana. Of the
102 participants, all Michigan run-
ners finished in the top 50.
Harvey came in fifth with a time
of 21:23; junior Molly Lori turned in
a time of 22:20 for a 20th place finish;
freshman Emily Shively came in six
spots later with a time of 22:44; and
juniors Heather Grigg and Tanya
Manson came in 36th and 46th re-
spectively.
Missoula's high altitude had little
effect on the Wolverines. However, 0
any difficulty that they may have had
with the thin air may only be a pre-
view for this coming weekend, when
the team travels to Boulder, Colo. for
the Rocky Mountain Shootout.
The runners alsojumped over bar-
riers on their way through a six kilo-
meter course. Most courses are only
five kilometers.
However, the unusual features of
the course didn't seem to bother the
runners.
"The conditions were perfect,"
Arnill said. "I thought that the course
was really nice."
