The Michigan men's cross country
team took a course in wilderness sur-
vival Saturday at the Mountain West
Classic in Missoula, Mont.
The Wolverines passed with flying
colors.
They braved adverse conditions to
capture their third-consecutive invita-
tional championship. The course, locat-
ed at an altitude of 3,100 feet, present-
ed unusual racing conditions for the
Wolverines.
Michigan won the title with 48
points, 22 ahead of second place
Oregon.
The win was a big indicator of the
team's progress as they prepare for the
ultimate goal, the 1997 NCAA champi-
onships. Unlike its previous two wins,
Michigan had to battle national ranked
competition, including No. 4 Oregon,
No. 15 Washington State, No. 18
Brigham Young, and No. 19 Arizona.
The Wolverines were the fifth-ranked
team before Saturday's meet.
Michigan men's cross country coach
Ron Warhurst was encouraged by his
team's performance.
"We're extremely pleased to run as
well as we did against top-ranked
teams' Warhurst said. "It was a good
test for us, and we ran very well."
Michigan got great individual perfor-
mances all around. John Mortimer con-
tinued his solid '97 campaign with
another top finish, his second of the
season. Mortimer completed the eight
kilometer course in 24:24 for the win.
Senior Kevin Sullivan also per-
formed well. He finished just eight sec
onds behind Mortimer, earning second
place overall with a 24:32. Sullivan has
been charging up the comeback trail
since a foot injury sidelined him last
season.-9
"I'm pleased with the effort,
Sullivan said. "I ran hard today."
But the Wolverines' depth sealed the
victory. Todd Snyder and SteVe
Lawrence finished 9th and 1Ith,
respectively. Snyder posted a time of
25:10, and Lawrence ran in 25:16.
"I was surprised that we put four
(finishers) in front of Oregon's second
runner, being that Oregon is ranked
fourth in the country," Warhurst sai
"That was the key to our victory"
Don McLaughlin placed 25th overalt
with a time of 25:57. His finish round-
ed out the scoring for Michigan. Jay
Cantin turned in a 26:12, and Chris
Bunt closed out the top seven in 26:50.
Previously, pack time had beer a
concern for the Wolverines. At least for
one day, it became their strength.
Warhurst said he would like to see the
five-man pack time dip below a minut
He realizes, though, that with two oft1
top runners in the nation, a sub-one
minute pack time may be a lot to ask
for.
"The harder we run, the more we are
going to need our (number) three to
five guys to pack up," Sullivan said.

For the Daily
Nothing seems to be going right
these days for the Michigan women's
golf team. This weekend, the
Wolverines finished ninth out of 13
teams at the Wolverine Invitational.
The two-day, three-round event
was played at the par-73 Michigan
Golf Course. Michigan shot a com-
bined score of 1,009, 89 shots behind
champion Indiana.
"I thought a top-five finish was
realistic," said Michigan coach
Kathy Teichert. "But it didn't happen
this weekend. We are a better team
than our scores are showing. I don't
know what happened. Maybe my
expectations are too high."
Michigan went into the final day
of play in seventh place, close to
their goal of finishing in the top five.
But with each of the six golfers
having mediocre rounds, the
Wolverines were passed in the stand-
ings by Eastern Michigan and the
Toledo.
"Our confidence is shot," Teichert
said. "We need to build it back up
until each player believes in them-
selves. I want to get back to where it
is fun to play the game. Right now,
the girls are going out and letting
bad shots carry over. They are think-
ing and pressuring themselves too
much."
Leading player Sharon Park aver-
aged a score of 82 in her three
rounds and was unhappy with her
performance.
"I don't know what is wrong,"
Park said. "Personally, I am just try-
ing to concentrate on hitting the ball.
I'm not sure what we can do as a
team.
"Our new freshmen are young and
it's difficult for them to adjust. It's
just a difficult situation."
With three freshmen in the lineup
this weekend, a bright spot for the
Wolverines is youth. Jennifer
Baumann, redshirted last year, saw
her first tournament action in the
Wolverine Invitational and played
well, shooting a three-round average
of 86.
"I had a lot of fun out there,"
Baumann said. "The greens were dif-
ficult for my first tournament bu
thought I played well."
Her solid play also caught
Teichert's eye.
"I'm happy to see that Jennifer
played well," Teichert said. "She will
continue to progress and become a
bright star for our team. She just
needs tournament experience right
now."
Freshman Amy Talbot average4 an
88 over the three rounds, even
though she had to battle the wiO
yesterday.
"The wind was tough," Talbot said.
"Sometimes I had to use three extra
clubs just to get it there. I don't know
what went wrong out there. I thought
I was playing better, but my score
was up again.
"As a team, we played awful all
three days. We're in a slump, but
we'll get better."
The Wolverines travel to Kentuco
next week for their final tournament
of the fall season.
