Jordan will be ... who else, Michael
Jordan. Ron Harper will help Jordan
guard Seattle's Gary Payton. And you
know - everybody knows - nobody
can guard the best-ever player in the
NBA.
Pippen will drive right by Detlef
Schrempf and frustrate the German
forward by banking every shot in the
series. Rodman will stick to Shawn
4 emp like glue and play mind games
ith the junior-college graduate.
Luc Longley will post Seattle centers
Ervin Johnson and Sam Perkins down
to the basket with his bulky, wide body
and will get layup after layup.
And lastly, Wennington, Longley and
the remaining players of the "four-
headed monster" (John Salley and
James "Buddha" Edwards) will be a
force, yes a force, against the short and
scrawny Seattle centers.
*Bulls in five.

take a pair of scissors to those certifi-
cates of merit: Gary Payton. Who will
guard Payton? Steve Kerr? Ron
Harper? Or will it be one of the bigger
names, like Jordan or defense-boy
Rodman? What about Pippen, who
*ould just as easily be looking at the
Bulls and Shawn Kemp from the driz-
zle of the Pacific Northwest?
Nope. Come the end of Game 7,
Kerr, Harper and whoever else will be
joining John Stockton on the used-
guard lot.
All these reasons, and I haven't even
mentioned Frank Brickowski, whose
little toe-to-toe trash session with Karl
Malone in Game 7 of the Western
Conference finals must have Luc
Longley quaking in his outsized
Australian-for-chump-mate high-tops.

-face so far."
Senior Stan Johanning also repre-
sented the Michigan men at nationals,
placing 14th in the javelin.
The women's team also achieved a
great deal of success.
Senior Courtney Babcock finished
third in the 5000-meter run with a time
of 16:17.68 - tying her best perfor-
mance at the outdoor NCAAs - and
fellow senior Monika Black placed
seventh in the high jump with a height
of 5-foot-10.
Babcock positioned herself for a
strong finish during the final portion of
the 5,000, after falling to ninth going
into the last three laps.
"I just kept telling myself I had to rise
to the occasion," Babcock said. "I knew
I wanted to pick it up at the end, and I
just kept hanging in there."
Michigan's women had more than
their share of letdowns at the nationals.
Black, despite her seventh-place finish
in the high jump, was one level away
from placing third.
"I'm upset because I was way over
the last height, but my heels kept click-
ing (the bar)," Black said. "It just was-
n't meant to be."
Freshman Nicole Forrester, who had
very high expectations coming into the
NCAAs, did not qualify for the finals.
Perhaps most disappointed, however,
was sophomore Tania Longe, who
placed ninth in the heptathlon.
"I don't think (Longe) would admit
this, but she probably had the worst per-
formance of her collegiate career,"
Henry said.
Longe said she felt a combination of
factors explained her performance.
"I focused on the wrong things and
my confidence started to feel a little
shaky,' Longe said. "I got stressed and
frustrated, angry and impatient"
Although unsatisfied with Longe's
performance, Henry said he intends to
turn the experience into a positive les-
son for her.
"I always make positives out of
everything," Henry said. "It was a dis-
aster, but as a coach, I'm going to use
this to get Tania to do superior work."
Competition is far from over for most
of the athletes, who will attempt to
qualify for the upcoming Olympic
Games in Atlanta. Gardner hopes his
collegiate success continues on the
world level, and has a chance to be the
top 400 hurdler for Jamaica.
"Once I get things ironed out, I'll be
able to race 49 seconds," Gardner said.
"That will put me right at the top f
the world."
