Sometimes having nine personal
records set in one meet leads to a
good finish - sometimes.
One of those rare times occurred
for the Michigan women's track
team over the weekend.
The Wolverines competed in the
Crimson Classic, placing fourth
with 24 points despite strong per-
sonal efforts. Alabama and Kansas
finished first and second, with
scores of 72 and 52 points respec-
tively. Mississippi finished third
with 26 points.
"Some people performed very
well," Michigan assistant coach
Desiree' Orwig said. "It was a
pretty good start for us, but obvi-
ously we need to score some more
points."
As anticipated, the distance
squad was a major contributor to
the Wolverines' point total. First-
year Michigan runner Kristi Wink
placed first in the 5,000-meter event
in 17:32.67. Katie Stern, also in her
first year, finished second behind
Wink, with a time of 17:32.61. Both
times established personal records.
Sophomore Lisa Adams placed
third with a 36'9" mark in the
triple jump. That jump set both a
Men runne
personal and school record.
Last weekend, the Wolverines'
4x100 relay team's time of 48.04
was good enough to place them first
at the Washington Invitational. At
the Crimson Classic, the time im-
proved to 47.88, but Michigan only
placed third.
Junior Michelle Bishop, also a
member of the 4x100 team, ran the
400 in her time, 57.58, but only fine
ished fourth.
"One of the big surprises was
Bishop," Orwig said. "She has bet-
tered her time in every event she has
run in. She's really been coming on
lately."
Another surprise was rookie
Laura Jerman who was competing in
the Javelin for the first time.
Jerman finished fourth with
throw of 120'4".
"She just started working on
(the javelin) for the first time three
weeks ago," Orwig said. "We're
looking forward to her doing well
in the future. She is capable of even-
tually throwing 140'."
Although she did not set any
personal records, sophomore Julie
Victor placing second in both tho
discus and the shot put.

cus, the Wolverines tied for first
place with host Alabama with 57
points.
Senior Brad Holwerda won the
high jump, clearing 7'1/2".
Sophomore Dan Reddan also cleared
7'1/2", but placed second because
Holwerda needed fewer attempts to
clear the height.
"The conditions at the meet were
excellent," Holwerda said. "It was
a real nice surface for jumping, and
the weather was great. It did not
take me too long to get warmed un
and loose."
Junior Brad Darr (17') and
sophomore Toby VanPelt (16'7")
took first and second place, respec-
tively, in the pole vault. Sophomore
Lukeland Gentles placed third in the
triple jump with a total of 47'6".
Senior Al Sarafian added to
Michigan's air attack, capturing sec-
ond place in the javelin, throwing a
personal best of 193'4". Junio@
Mike Hennessey was runner-up in
the shot put with a throw of 48'5-
1/2". Hennessey also placed third in
the discus with a toss of 140'11".
Not to be outdone, the
Wolverines' ground forces per-
formed well in their first scored
outdoor meet. In the sprints, junior
Jerry Douglas took first place in the
110-meter high hurdles with a time
of 14.10 seconds. Sophomorb
Michael Eccleston finished third in
the 200-meter, posting a time of
21.94 seconds.
In the distance races, senior Jeff
Barnett won the 3,000-meter
steeplechase, covering the distance
in 9:03. Frosh Shawn MacKay
placed second in the 5,000-meter
with a time of 14:18.04. Senior Neal
Newman finished second in the 800#
meter with a time of 1:49.96.
"It was a pretty good run con-
sidering I was a little rusty,"
Newman said. "The conditions were
great ... not too warm, not too
windy, not too humid. As a tean,
we did really well considering it
takes time to get into a good out-
door rhythm."
