10 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, September 19, 2000 Second straight title for runners Jazwinski, Radkewich and Froud take three of top 10 spots By Rhonda Gilmer Daily Sports Writer Hard work is second nature to the Michigan women's cross country team. This past weekend the Wolverines repeated their success by nabbing another first-place finish and took home a second-straight team title at the Spiked Shoe Invitational at Penn State. Last weekend marked the first time the Wolverines have run a 6K race. "The Track and Field Committee did move the distance up. This is everyone's first 6K cross-country race ever," Michigan coach Mike McGuire said. "We can't be intini- dated by the fact that we're racing longer." The Wolverines provided stiff competition by scoring a total of 52 points, with five runners finishing in the top 20. Senior Katie Jazwinski, brought home another victory. Running a time of 20:52, Jazwinski outran the rest of the competition by 24 sec- onds. Seniors Katy Radkewich and Julie Froud followed with seventh and eighth place finishes. Rounding out the top 20 were sophomore Jane Martineau in 16th, and freshman Lindsey Gallo in 20th. West Virginia finished second in the race with 86 points. McGuire attributes the team's great start to two factors. The first is com- mitting themselves to running consis- tently during practice and secondly running both physically and mentally during meets. The Wolverines do it, despite a busy school schedule. "It'd be great if everyone could just go to class, gather everything up and take your test, and not worry about anything at night," McGuire said. "You don't worry about studying or papers that might take you awhile." But these athletes don't have that luxury. On top of schoolwork they also have to prepare themselves for competition. "The same preparation (it takes in the classroom) comes with being the best possible athlete you can be," McGuire said. McGuire views running as a com- mitment on top of everything else that goes with it. "It entails a little more than the two-and a half hours of practice. It's a lifestyle commitment," McGuire said. "Sleep nutrition all those types of things" go into being a runner.

By David Roth Daily Sports Writer Playing Miami of Ohio is like eat- ing the outside of an Oreo. You've got to do it before you get to the good stuff. The fourth-ranked Michigan field hockey team opens its Big Ten season Friday, but first it will finish off a five-game homestand against Miami today at 3 p.m. Miami is the fifth-consecutive non-ranked opponent the Wolverines will play at Ocker Field. where Michigan has already annihilated four opponents this season by a com- bined score of 21-4. The RedHawks' offensive produc- tion thus far has been downright offensive, as they scored only five times in their first five games. But Saturday, Miami ended its scorine drought in cathartic fashion as they trounced Indiana 9-0. The matchup today will feature a reunion of two Californian co-cap- tains named Kelli. The Wolverines' Kelli Gannon will tussle with fellow Escondido native Kelli Roche. Miami's backup goalie Lisa Rodelo also graduated from San Pasqual high school a year after Gannon and Roche, making the reunion even more emotional for Gannon. "I'm excited to play my old high school teammates and especially my best friend." Gannon said. "I'm also just happy that I get to see and talk to her. I'm a little nervous about the outcome of the game and how each other's feelings will be. But I'm just happy that we finally get to compete against each other." Roche is one of Miami's best play- ers and is a double threat. Primarily a defensive specialist, last year Roche led the team with 64 shots and I I defensive saves. The tame also features some local talent returning home. Miami mid- fielder Shallen McClain attended Ann Arbor's Huron High School before heading to Oxford to play field hockey. McClain led Huron in scoring as a junior and was named the team's MVP senior year. Her return to Ann Arbor will dis- play two teams with different senti- ments. Miami is high on its 9-0 vic- tory, but Michigan wasn't happy with its 2-0 defeat of Rutgers. a team No. 3 Old Dominion beat 11-0. Michigan coach Marcia Pankratz said she didn t want to have a repeat performance in Michigan's final tune-up. "We have to come out and fix the things that were broken," Pankratz said. "Hopefully we will.", The Wolverines will do their best not to overlook Miami, but it's clear that the team's coaches and players are anxious to move on to playing conference games. "It'll be exciting when we get intoj the Bigo Ten season," Pankratz said. "We always look forward to that and I think we'll be ready." Malchow sets Olympic mark in 200 butterfly SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Inspired by placards bearing that message and a dominating U.S. per- formance, Tom Malchow set anoth- er record at the Olympic pool yes- terday, leading preliminaries of the 200-meter butterfly at 1:56.25 Malchow nipped .01 seconds off* the Olympic mark set by American Mel Stewart in winning gold at the 1992 Barcelona Games. In their much-hyped showdown with the Australians, the U.S. team held a 9-2 edge in total medals after Day 2 of the eight-day competition. The 24-year-old native of St. Paul, Minn., already holds the world record in the 200 fly. He swam 1:55.18 at a June meet in Charlotte, N. Carter supports Toronto's Olympic Games campaign SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Vince Carter threw his support behind Toronto's bid for the 2008 Olympic Games, although he wouldn't say whether he'd still be playing in that city by the time that year arrives. "I don't know. I always look ahead and I never look back on the past but I think that's looking too far ahead," Carter said Monday at a news confer- ence to hype Toronto's bid. Carter, who has won the Rookie of the Year award and the slam dunk con- test in his two seasons with the Raptors, is under contract for the 2000- 01 season. The Raptors hold an option for the following season and after that thev can match any offer Carter receives on the free agent market. That ensures that Carter will be play- ing in Toronto at least until 2003, and by then the world will know whether the 2008 Olympics will be held in Beijing, Paris, Osaka, Istanbul or Toronto. "I think it's safe to say the city of Toronto didn't know much about the game of basketball until we started too win, and now they've taken the time to understand the game and learn the game and support Toronto," Carter said. "I know it's a hockey town, but now the love is starting to grow. "It feels like home." SEC chief upholds official's touchdown ruling KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Bobby Gaston, the Southeastern Conference chief of officials, said Monday that the line judge was in the right spot to make the call when he allowed Florida's late touchdown to stand in the Gators' 27-23 win over Tennessee on Saturday. Line judge Al Matthews ruled that Florida's Jabar Gaffney had possession of the ball in the end zone long enough for a touchdown. Jesse Palmer's 3-yard pass with 1 seconds left went to Gaffnev, who had the ball for an instant before it was knocked away by the Vols' Willie Miles. The play has generated a great debate, with Vols coach Phillip Fulmer and his players believing the pass was incQm- plete, and Gators coach Steve Spurrier saving the call could have gone either way.
