16 -The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, May 18, 1994 ] Men's track ready for Big Ten r meet after hosting invitational By Eugene Bowen DAILY SPORTS WRITER WhatoneworddescribestheMichi- gan men's trackteam'sperformance at last Saturday's Len Paddock Invita- tional track meet at Ferry Field? It's "tune-up" according to coach Jack Harvey. This unscored meet, which Michigan hosted, precedes the Big Ten outdoor Championships to be held this coming Saturday in Madison. There were some great moments for the Michigan team. The high- light of the meet came when fresh- man Kevin Sullivan set a new Michi- gan, Ferry Field and meet record -- and automatically qualified for the NCAA National Championships - by running the 1500 meter in 3:39.22. Michigan sophomore Scott MacDonald came in second with an automatic qualifying time of 3:40.88. This was MacDonald's fastest time ever. AttheBig TenOutdoorChampi- onships last year he ran a 3:49.16, good for third. "We ran fast," said Sullivan, the Big Ten Cross Country Fresh- man of the Year. "Themeetre- minded me that running hurts," McDonald said. Sullivan Sophomore Todd Burnham won the 400 meter dash with a time of 47.5, and junior Jim Finlayson won the 5000meter with a time of 15:11.8. SophomorehighjumperJonRoyce was somewhat disappointed, placing third in his event with a height of 7'1". behind Canadians Cory Sienachok) (74") and Alex Zawavskas (7'2") Royce seems jinxed by these two. "I've never beaten them," Royct said with a smile. "I will, though. M my words." Freshman hurdler Neil Gardnei wasn't too happy with his unchar- acteristically slow time of 14.58 and a third place showing, in thi 100 meter hurdles. "Itjust wasn't agood day,"Gardnei said. There is little time for reflection though, as the men's team - whict won this year's indoor Big Ten mee will soon have to prove how "tuned up" it is at the Big Ten outdoor chain pionships.

That's right: break a school record. MuchlikeRichelleWebbofthe Michi- gan women's track team. The junior sprinter topped her own mark in the 200 meter dash to join five other Wolverine women in winning events at the 1994 Len Paddock Invita- tional, held Saturday at Ferry Field. "Today is usually a relaxed day," Webb said. "I haven't run the 100 or 200 all year - I've been running the quarter. "I just wanted to try to get some good times, to see where I am going into Big Ten's, and that's what I did.

Relaxed enough to post a 23.4 the 200, nearly a full second ahea the field - fast enough to break t- school and meet records and qualif provisionally for the NCAA finals. Webb also won the 100, with meet-record, hand-timed mark of II.' This Friday and Saturday, at th Big Ten championships in Madisor Michigan will attempt to win the elu sive conference "triple crown": Ha ing won the titles in cross country indoor track, only the outdoor tr title stands between the Wolverint and the feat. "I think (the meet) is going to be fight," Webb said. "We're not goingt win it easily, but I think if everybod comes together and has their head o straight, we can do it. That's why I fe( like we're going to do it." The Wolverines may be slight j vorites in the meet after a surprisa win last year andatindoors this winte but a tough Illinois sprint and hurd] corps should keep the meet hotly con tested.
