This weekend, the Michigan men's
golf team competed in the Marshall
Invitational in Huntington, W Va.
This meet was another opportunity
for Michigan's young squad to mature.
The results were promising. The
Wolverines finished 10th in the 20-
team field, posting an overall team
score of 902 for three rounds.
Northwestern won the event with a
score of 884.
Individually, two Wolverines fin-
ished among the top four competitors.
Junior Mike Harris - who won the
competition in 1998 - turned in his
best finish of the season, firing a three-
round total of 217 (+4) to place third.
Freshman Andrew Chapman also
had his best performance of the year,
finishing fourth with a score of 219
(+6). The overall winner was D.A.
Points of Illinois, who shot 72-70-70 (-
1) en route to claiming the title.
"We took a very large step forward
this weekend," Michigan coach Jim
Carras said. "Four of our five guys had
never been to this course before, but
our goal this year has been to get pro-
gressively better each time out, We took
a big step in the right direction."
Carras lauded the efforts of Harris
and particularly Chapman, whom he
compared to David Duval, the top-
ranked player in the world.
"I can't say enough about Andrew
Chapman," Carras said. "He's going to
be one of our finest players. He's so
into his game when he's on the course,
just like Duval is. He stays in his game
all the time and makes very few mis-
takes. Andrew's become everything I
expected him to be when I recruited
him."
Carras also commended the perfor-
mance of redshirt freshman Brian
Seipke. Seipke struggled mightily in
his opening round, shooting an 87. But
he came back strong in his final two
rounds, firing 73-74 for a total of 234.
"After the first round, Seipke came
up to me and told me that he was going
to shoot 20 strokes better in his second
round, and he almost did," Carras said.
"He's got a great short game and he's
developing into a strong competitor."
Though the success in West Virginia
was an improvement, Carras feels that
the team still had some ground to cover
'-fore it reached its full potential.
"We're not there yet, but we've
improved past the halfway point,"
Carras said. "Regionals might be a bit
of a long shot this year, so our main
goal is to have everyone placed for Big
Tens."
Why: Cain led Michigan to the NCAA Regional Il crown this weekend
in Lincoln, Neb. Cain, competing in her home state and in front of a
receptive crowd, finished first in the all-around event while recording
a career-high score of 39.525. The all-around title was Cain's fourth
regional championship of her career, with the others coming in the
vault, uneven bars and the floor exercise.
Background: 1998 first team All-American in floor exercise... Named Cain
team's 1997 co-Most Valuable Performer... Enrolled in the College of
Literature, Science and the Arts.
RowiCng sinks
Wisconsin, Iowa
able ac6n Badu
By Emily Achenbaum
Daily Sports Writer
They say what doesn't kill you
makes you stronger.
Last Saturday on Coralville Lake
in North Liberty, Iowa, the
Michigan rowing team faced 25-
mile-per-hour winds which made
the water so rough that swells
poured into its boats, splashed into
the rowers' faces and muffled its
coxswain's speakers.
But the highly unfavorable condi-
tions only brought out the best in the
Wolverines, who rose to the chal-
lenge of Wisconsin, Iowa and
Mother Nature - and won.
As powerful as the winds they
rowed against, the Wolverines blew
away the No. 10 Badgers and
Hawkeyes, achieving their first vic-
tory of the official season.
"The conditions were so crazy,
but it was so much fun - we thrived
off it," senior Heather Uhring said.
The Wolverines entered the regat-
ta knowing they were the specific
target Wisconsin and Iowa aimed to
beat.
But the Wolverines won all varsi-
ty and novice races against the
Hawkeyes in a clean sweep.
Michigan's second varsity eight boat
won by a healthy single boat length,
and the varsity four boat dominated
its race with a notable finish three
boat lengths ahead of the Hawkeyes.
By maintaining their regular rac-
ing speed during the final stretch of
the race - rather than sprinting to
the finish as usual - the Wolverines
saved some of the energy that they
would need to race the Badgers,
whom they faced immediately after
the meet with the Hawkeyes.
Weather conditions forced coach-
es to condense the regatta into back-
to-back races which took about an
hour and half Saturday morning,
rather than the planned full day of
racing.
The Wolverines' extra energy
would not go unused - the Badgers
are reputable competitors and have
one of the oldest women's crew pro
grams in the nation. The Wolverine
had defeated the Badgers just a few
weeks earlier in a race where both
teams under-performed.
Anticipating that the Badgers
would be nipping at their heels, the
Wolverines showed little mercy. The
first and second varsity eight boats
each won by a solid two boat lengths
and open water.
"It was amazing," Uhring said.
The water was at its choppie*
during the races against the
Badgers, which the Wolverines
found exciting and challenging.,
Wisconsin, on the other hand, wasn't
up to the challenge.
"Since we were ahead, we were
able to follow our own race and
focus on ourselves," senior Michelle
Wolbert said. "Instead of thinking
'we've got to catch up,' we could
just focus on the water conditions'
The Wolverines raced using boat
lineups that had only rowed together
two times before the meet. They will
be spending the upcoming week try-
ing to make the new lineups even
faster in preparation for their April.
17 meet against Ohio State ,and,
Notre Dame.
Since Michigan won't be facing
No. 2 Virginia or any other major..
team again this season, .
Wolverines wanted to catch the eye
of the nationals selection commit-
tee.
"We want to show them that we
deserve to be there," Uhring said.
And that means more than just beat-
ing these teams.
"We want to embarrass them,"
Uhring said.
