The Michigan Daily - SPORTSMnday - Monday, October 17 1994 - 5 *Cross country squads enjoy successful weekend at home Women harriers defeat Stanford to win lone home meet of '94 season # ..ta iIo as s s By DANIELLE RUMORE and DAN McKENZIE Daily Sports Writers For the first time this season, the Michigan women's cross country team did not have to deal with the pressure of being the highest-ranked team coming into a meet. Instead, it was No. 4 Stanford that came into yesterday's meet expecting to dominate. However, solid finishes from fresh- man twins Deanna and Pauline Arnill helped Michigan claim its third con- secutive Wolverine Interregional. Deanna captured the top spot in the field with a time of 17:25, while her sister, Pauline, finished fifth' overall and second for the Wolverines with a time of 17:50. "I just wanted the team to win," Deanna said. "There was a lot of sup- port which makes you feel good." . The other Michigan finishers in- cluded freshman Eileen Fleck (11th), seniors Jessica Kluge (12th) and Karen Harvey (14th), and juniors Molly Lori (21th) and Katy Hollbacher (25th). Before the meet, Michigan coach Mike McGuire stressed the importance of having a strong showing against the power-packed field that would be present. Besides Stanford, the Wolver- ines had to deal with No. 15 Wake Forest, No. 16 Arizona, No. 18 Notre Dame and No. 19 Washington. "This was another strong race," McGuire said. "We're starting to put it together." Stanford and Arizonafinished adis- tant second and third place, respec- tively. The meet was the one and only home meet of the year for the Wolver- ines. However, they have only prac- ticed on the actual course three times. The course, which is run on the University Golf Course, features an especially challenging hill on the third kilometer that the runners believe is extremely difficult. "It's a hard course," Deanna said. "We don't train on it alot and it has alot of hills." The lack of familiarity with the course almostcost the Wolverines when Deanna ran towards the finish line only three quarters of the way through. Due to the number of loops that the runners were forced to follow, she mistakenly followed the wrong stripe on her last pass around the final stretch. "The race directors weren't paying attention," McGuire said. "It's inex- cusable. It wasn't her fault." Second-place finish in 8,000-meters sparks hope for conference meet By CHAIM HYMAN For the Daily Coming off an impressive first- *place finish at the Michigan Intercolle- giate meet last Saturday, the Michigan men's cross country team hosted the Michigan Intersectional Sunday with high expectations. With a second-place overall finish and three runners placing in the top 10, those expectations were met with suc- cess. "I'm happy," Michigan coach Ron Warhurst said. "We ran pretty good up #ront, and I'm pleased considering that our runners haven't rested. This was an importantrace with some good teams." The Wolverines' standing in the 8,000-meter meet earned them 75 points,just behind Stanford who gained 69. All-American sophomore Kevin Sullivan led Michigan's individual run- ners by placing second with a time of 24:43, just behind Arizona's Martin Keino (24:34). "I let (Keino) get ahead in the middle of the race and just couldn't close it up in the end, but it was a good run," Sullivan said. "I'm pleased with my team's performance as well as my own." Warhurst knows Sullivan did well, but believes he has room for improve- "I'm pleased with my team's performance as well as my own." -Kevin Sullivan Men's cross country ment. "Kevin did well today but he'll be even better when he has had some time to rest," Warhurst said. "When he is rested, he won't let anyone get away from him like he did today." Other individual runners included junior Scott MacDonald, who placed seventh in the meet with a time of 25:10, followed by team captain Ian Forsyth, whose time was 25:12. For Forsyth, this was his first race since the Rocky Mountain Shootout in Colo- rado two weeks ago. "I was hoping for a little higher finish, but we ran pretty well as a team for this point in the season," Forsyth said. "And we should all be pleased because this was a high-quality race as faras individual runners are concerned. It is a definite good first step for us." While this was certainly an impor- tantmeetforMichigan,Warhurst wants to make a point of what is lies ahead. "The next three weeks are going to be very important for," Warhurst said. "They should prove to be even more difficult than this meet, especially with the Big Ten meet coming up in two weeks."
