Women tracksters outrun

By JEFF FAYE
They fought the weather all the way
through, but in the end the Michigan
women's track team had a rain-soaked
victory last Saturday at the triangular
Indiana Invitational track meet.
Despite the attendance of the Purdue
squad, the meet was essentially a two-
team competition between Indiana and
Michigan. This is indicated by the team
scores: Michigan 51, Indiana 48 and
Purdue 30.
DURING THE COURSE of the first
five events, the scoring leader changed
three times, but when Sue Frederick-
Foster and Sue Schroeder finished first
and third int the 1,500-meter run, the
Wolverines established a lead they
never relenquished. Frederick-
Foster's and Schroeder's times were
4:23.11 and 4:32.31, respectively.
The Wolverines had five other first
place finishers. They were led by
Melanie Weaver in the 5,000 meters
with a time of 16:29.45, Joanna Bullard
with a high jump of 5'73/4", Joyce
Wilson in the 400-meter dash and Mar-
tha Gray ran a 2:11.68 in the 800-meter
run.
Michigan's other first place was the
4x100-meter relay team, made up of
Kari Mann, Darlene Fortman, Lorri
Thornton and Brenda Kazinec, had a
time of :47.27.
The thinclads next action is the Big
Ten outdoor championships held at
Purdue on May 21.

Michigan received first place efforts
from Doug Heikkinen in the 3,000-meter
steeplechase with a time of 9:04.92,
Derek Harper in the long jump with a
leap of 24'Y4", Dan Passenger in the
500-meters with a time of 3:50.46 and
Johnny Nielson, who threw the shot put
60'2%".
There were also two season-best
achievements. Harper had a season
best in the 100-meters with a time of
11.14 and Dave Woolley's 15'8-'/4"
height in the pole vault was tops for the
season in that event.
The Wolverine's last warmup before
the Big Tens in two weeks is a dual
meet with Illinois on May 14 in Cham-
paign.

Women netters fifth
After a long season of hard luck, the
Michigan women's tennis team retur-
ned from the Big Ten championships in
Evanston last weekend with a fifth-
place finish under their belts.
Michigan was seeded third at the
tournament but lost in the first round to
Michigan State, and could therefore do
no better than fifth.
HEAD COACH Ollie Owens, who
predicted trouble with the Spartans,
said "I guess we kind of got dumped
on" but added, "We did a good job after
we lost to Michigan State."

Michigan had beaten the Spartans
both at home and away this year, and
Owens felt this might be detrimental to
the team. Time proved him right as the
Wolverines bowed to State,5-4.
After that Michigan came back with
three straight victories to secure fifth
place. The team rolled past Purdue, 6-
3, beat Ohio State, 5-4, and finished
strong over Iowa, 6-3.
THE TOP SPOT in the Big Ten was
stolen from Northwestern by Indiana,
5-4. With all of the singles matches
completed, the Wildcats had a com-
manding 4-2 lead, but the Hoosiers
came through with victories in all three
doubles slots for the win.
Individually for Michigan, Mary
Mactaggart won all eight of her mat-
ches at the number two spot, and num-
ber one singles player Stephanie Light-
voet lost only to Michigan State, win-
ning the remaining seven.
Lightvoet was one of eight persons
selected for first team All-Big Ten
singles honors, along with three from
Indiana, three from Northwestern and
one from Minnesota. Lightvoet and
Mactaggart were also named to the All-
Big Ten team for doubles and Mac-
taggart was named to the second team
All-Big Ten for singles.
Michigan didn't finish as well as ex-
pected for the year, but had some
misfortune due to injuries to Marian

Indiana
Kremer and Paula Reichert, as well as
the absence of Jane Silfen. All three
were singles players and their depar-
ture caused a constantly shifting lineup
for the Wolverines right up until Big
Tens.
Owens summed up the season by
saying, "I thought overall we worked
pretty hard. I think the things that hap-
pened to us were more out of our con-
trol."

Golfers sit eighth
Normally, finding one's team in eighth
place after 36 holes of a 54-hole golf
tournament wouldn't be much cause for
elation for a coach. But to Michigan's
Jim Carras, Sunday's two-round
placement at the Northern Inter-
collegiate Golf Tournament in
Bloomington, Ind. was just fine.
Sophomore Dan Roberts was low
man for the Wolverines with a score of
150.
Michigan shot a two-round total of 776
strokes. Ohio State leads the tour-
nament, which was to conclude yester-
day, with a score of 740.

Men tracksters third
Despite four individual firsts, the
Blue tracksters finished third at the In-
diana Invitational last Saturday. The
meet was important from the stan-
dpoint that it featured Purdue, Illinois
and Indiana, which, along with
Michigan comprise four of the teams
that finished in the top five in the Big
Ten Indoor Championships, as
Wolverine coach Jack Harvey noted.
A factor in the "poor" performance
of the Wolverines was the inclement
weather. The wind blew at 15 to 30 miles
per hour and it rained hard all day.
Harvey felt that strongly influenced the
output of his team.
"WE WERE DISAPPOINTED with
the weather we had this past weekend.
The athletes obviously cannot give their
best performances when they have to
compete under a downpour."
