NEWS The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, February 15, 2006 - 7 SIMMONS Continued from page 1 Kraker Goodridge. She would go on to make two Olympic teams and become a coach at University. The team was named the Michigammes. It was . one of the only athletic programs open to women in the area. At the time, competitive sports were thought to endanger the internal organs of young women. Goodridge took the risk, and the rest is his- tory. The opportunity Immediately, Goodridge realized she need- ed to follow Simmons's instructions if she wanted to improve. "He was a firm believer in overall training for strength and flexibility," Goodridge said. "He trained me just the way he would have trained a boy, including lifting weights." Simmons's investment paid dividends. Goodridge became the first Michigan-born woman ever to earn a spot on an Olympic team. She was a long-distance runner on the 1968 squad in Mexico City and 1972 in Munich. Goodridge, who coached the Michigan women's track and field team from 1981 to 1983, had Simmons's full support when she sought the job. In Munich, her semifinal performance in the 1,500-meter was the second fastest all- time by an American woman at the time. Progress Simmons said he has seen vast improve- ments in the abilities of female athletes. Simmons qualified for the 1932 Olympic team by running the 400-meter hurdles in 54.2 seconds. "The women are running 53.8 now," he said. "When you see what they're doing now, in relation to what they did then, it's amaz- ing," Simmons said he provided all the girls needed - equipment, a facility and a coach. "With that first group that we had, I was the bus driver, the trainer, I set up the hotel reser- vations - I did it all," he said. These sacrifices gave the Michigammes an opportunity at a time when organized wom- en's athletics programs were, in many parts of the country, still more than a decade away. (Mis)perceptions of women's weight training Simmons said he has always believed weightlifting helps athletes avoid reaching performance plateaus. He saw the activity's benefits at a time when many thought it pro- duced minimal or even no results for runners. "There really was no weight training (dur- ing that time), but I trained all of my women with weights," Simmons said. "(Women) always thought weight-training would make them look fat and bulk them up. But then they realized they could get stronger and look bet- ter (without giving) them big muscles." Goodridge said the idea of women getting bigger drew skepticism. "My parents had to be reassured I wouldn't become the Incredible Hulk," Goodridge said. But Goodridge said she never feared the regimen Simmons prescribed. She said she saw results soon after starting a lifting rou- tine. "He had expertise in weight-training and could see obvious muscle weakness just visually, as well as imbalances when I ran," Goodridge said. "With weights, you can see muscle development fairly quickly, so I saw development in my quadriceps, and I never had a knee injury because the support muscles were evenly developed and in balance." 'Yes, we can do that' Although Simmons said weightlifting helped women achieve better results, he attri- butes more of their success to finally getting the chance to prove their talents. "There got to be a point where women said, 'Yes, we can do that, and we are capable of doing it,' " Simmons said. Most people thought women belonged in the home at the time, he said. "Now they realize they can do it, and they are getting very competitive," Simmons said. Goodridge thinks the expansion of the NCAA, specifically the rise in female partici- pation, has greatly contributed to better per- formances across the board. "More women are competing now," she said. "In a larger pool of athletes, there are bound to emerge better and better athletes." According to Simmons, athleticism was not seen as a feminine characteristic when he began coaching. Many girls shied away from competing because of negative perceptions they imagined would follow. "They didn't think (training) was ladylike," Simmons said. "They didn't want to sweat." Simmons said an increase in the number of girls who participate in sports camps and who try to earn athletic scholarships has helped women come closer to equaling men's perfor- mances. Simmons is confident that women are des- tined for even greater feats in sports. "Women are still breaking records, and that's happening in all sports - not just track and field," he said. "I don't think they have reached their plateau yet." ENSIAN Continued from page 1 were sold than were projected. Deutsch said the yearbook has an uncertain future and therefore had "nothing to lose" by asking MSA to put the initiative on the ballot. Deutsch said if the resolu- tion had passed and students had approved it, the money would have provided a book for every student free. Although asked to, yearbook representatives could not present a budget at the meeting to explain how the plan would be feasible. Other schools, including the University of Notre Dame and Michigan State University, fund their yearbooks through student fees. The programs work because that many students don't pick up a yearbook, but all others pay the fees. Deutsch said the Michiganensi- an plans to propose the resolution again for next year's ballot. the michigan daily :. CORNERHOUSE APARTMENTS 205 S.
