Women place sixth
Big Ten coaches vote
Larkin league MVP
in.Big Ten
By DOUGLAS B. LEVY
What a difference a year can make.
One year ago Francie Goodridge led
her women's track team to a second-*
place finish in the outdoor Big Ten
meet, falling short of Wisconsin by only
one point.
Last weekend in Columbus, the
Wolverines finished 77 points off the
pace, placing sixth at the conference
championships. Once again, the
Badgers won the team title with 124
points. Indiana was second with 114.
"THE MEET went just about as I ex-
pected it would," said Goodridge. "I
am pleased because I didn't think that
we could hold on to sixth place and yet
we were only seven points out of fifth."
The women's team, decimated by last
years graduation also finished sixth at
the Big Ten Indoor championships,
which were held in March.
The highlight of the meet for
Michigan was the one-two finish in the
high jump by Dawn Rich and Angie
Hafner. Elsewhere, Melody Middleton
took fifth in the heptathlon with 5,310
points. The top four finishers all
smashed the previous Big Ten record in
the event.
In the running events, Sue Schroeder
faired better in the 1,500 meters than
Goodridge expected, finishing third in
4:20.52. Joyce Wilson and Dedra
Bradley placed second and fourth
respectively in the 400-meter dash.
Jennifer Rioux came in fifth in the
3,000-meter run at 9:36.09, while Mar-
tha Gray was sixth in the 800 meters in
2:11, The Wolverines' 4x400-meter
relay team placed third with a 3:43.33.
FOR THE majority of the squad the
season is now complete with only the
NCAA championships in Eugene,
Oregon remaining.
Thus far Michigan has three women
traveling to Eugene. Wilson in the 400
meters, Schroeder in the 1,500 meters

Men run to third
Big Ten officials still aren't sure who
won the men's track and field cham-
pionship Sunday, but there is no doubt
about the accuracy of Michigan's third
place finish.
The Wolverines held the lead after
the first day of the conference meet
held in Columbus, but couldn't match
Wisconsin and Indiana in the running
events and subsequently had to settle
for third after winning the outdoor title
the last four years.
RIGHT NOW, the Badgers have been
awarded first place, although Indiana
took the trophy home with them. A
discrepancy in the scoring for the long
jump led officials to first believe that
the Hoosiers had taken the title by one
point. But after the team bus had left to
go back to Bloomington, it was learned
that Wisconsin should have been awar-
ded two more points in the long jump
and as a result, it won the champion-
ship with 111 points to Indiana's 110.
Hoosier coach Sam Bell announced
that he would go to a four-member jury
of appeals to try to get the decision
reversed and a meeting was scheduled
yesterday in Chicago by the Big Ten to
resolve the dispute.
But regardless of what the decision
is, Michigan will still only total 92 poin-
ts, not good enough for any trophy. In
chalking up that score, the Wolverines
got first-place performances from Scott
Erriksson in the discus and Derek Har-
per in the long jump.

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. (AP) - Shor-
tstop Barry Larkin, a sophomore
who led Michigan to the Big Ten
baseball championship with a team-
high .388 batting average, was
named yesterday as the conferen-
ce's Most Valuable Player.
Larkin, a Cincinnati native, was
selected in balloting by Big Ten
coaches after last weekend's cham-
pionship playoffs in Minneapolis.
LARKIN, A finalist for the 1984
U.S. Olympic baseball team, was
one of three unanimous selections to
the conference team. The other two
are Michigan first baseman-pitcher
Ken Hayward and Purdue outfielder
P. J. Dietrick.
Hayward, a junior from Pontiac,
batted .333 with 10 home runs and 54
RBIs. He also posted a 7-2 record
with a 2.18 earned run average in 18
appearances.
Dietrick, a junior from In-
dianapolis, led the Boilermakers
with a .407 batting average. He also
stole 11-of-11 bases.
ANOTHER Olympic finalist,
Michigan's Scott Kamieniecki was
chosen to the conference team.
Kamieniecki, a sophomore from
Detroit was 5-3 on the year. He pit-
ched 11/3 innings in last weekend's
Big Ten tournament while yielding
only one run. Kamieniecki and Min-
nesota's Doug Kampsen were the
only two pitchers chosen.
Two Wisconsin players made the all-
conference team. Outfielder Joe
Armentrout, a sophomore from
Elgin, batted .306, and second
baseman Brian Wegner, a
sophomore from Waterton, Wis-.,
batted .304 and committed just one
error in 43 games this season.
Michigan State's Mike Eddington,
a senior from Ionia, was selected as
the designated hitter. Eddington
batted .381 and led the league in
home runs with 19 and RBIs with 60.
His .851 slugging percentage also
was the best in the Big Ten.
The catcher selected was In-
diana's Dan Winters, a junior from
Benton Harbor, Mich. Winters bat-
ted .426 with eight home runs and 57
RBIs.
