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. Kordell Stewart threw it farther than anyone thought he could.

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."
