The 61 points earned by the Wol-
verines merited a seventh place finish,
81.5 points behind the Buckeyes.
The top Michigan senior was Matt
Smith, who finished third in the 3000-
meter steeplechase and sixth in the
5000 run.
Representing the freshmen was
Scott MacDonald, reigning Big Ten

"I have non complaints; the races
were really intense,"MacDonald said.
The high point of the meet for the
Wolverines was freshman Sean
