Freshman places
third in competition
By Chris Farah
and Fred Uink
Daily Sports Writers
Freshman Jose Haro is known by
family and friends as "LaLo."
Following the Michigan men's gym-
nastics loss to Illinois on Sunet
220.575-216.00, a more appropriate
nickname for Haro may be "Sweet and
Low."
"Sweet" because Haro led the
Wolverines in six out of seven of the
meet's events.
"Low" because, well ... it rhymes.
Haro won the parallel bars with a
score of 9.80, placed second in the
floor exercise (9.55), and third in
pommel horse, still rings and the
around competition.
Despite Haro's impressive overall
performance, Michigan coach Kirt
Golder felt he can still do better.
"LaLo was a little fatigued today"
Golder said. "(He) didn't have his hest
meet but did manage to win the paral-
lel bars with a personal best."
Haro got some help from junior Tim
DeGraw, who led the Wolverines in the
vault with a score of 9.40, good enou
for a third-place finish. He also m-
ished third in the parallel bars with a
9.45.
Golder may not have been pleased
with Michigan's loss to the Fighting
Illini, but he feels the Wolverines are
making strides toward achieving their
long-term goals.
"As a team, we improved eight
points from our last meet, which is ver
significant" Golder said. "Our4
was to improve 10 points from last
year's Big Ten championship to this
year's. With today's meet, we have
improved six points over last year's Big
Ten championship's score."
Co-captain Flavio Martins, whose
first name incidentally also rhymes
with "low;" managed to place fifth in
the pommel horse and sixth in high bar
despite a recent bout with the flu.
Once Martins and Haro bece
healthy, Golder hopes the Wolvers
can reach the level of teams lile
Illinois.
"The thing I'm most disappointed in
about today's performance is that por
hit percentage is too low (55.8 pe-
cent)," Golder said. "With an increase,
we can shoot for 220 points next week'
