Although the times were a little slower due to the cold, windy, and rainy weather, the Wolverines pre- vailed against the Spartans, 93-57, at Ferry Field. "It was a decent meet," Michigan coach Jack Harvey said. "The weather was pretty bad, but it was good to race. We needed a solid workout." In the running events, sophomore Bob Czahorski and senior Andy Diller finished first and second, re- spectively in the 400-meter hurdles. Czachorski got the edge in a photo finish after they both posted times of 54.2 seconds. Sophomore Brian Bozo took second place in the 400 meters with a time of 49.8 seconds. With sprinter Michael Eccleston out of competion with the flu, sophomore Stan Sharik caught Harvey's eye with a strong performance in the 200 meters. Sharik placed second with a time of 23.1 seconds. Junior Jerry Douglas won the 110-meter high hurdles, posting a time of 14.4 seconds. "I ran well enough to wink" Douglas said. "With weather like this, though, you have to be careful because it is easy to pull a muscle." In the distance races, senior Jeff Barnett won the 3,000-meter steeplechase, covering the distance in 9:12.7. After running the 10,000 meters Thursday night at the Dogwood Classic in Knoxville, Tenn., senior Brad Barquist came back to finish second in the 3,000 meters with a time of 8:24. Senior Joe Mckown placed second in the 1,500 meters, posting a time of 3:55.4. Senior Neal Newman captured first place in the 800 meters, run- ning a time of 1:52.9. Newman also ran the second leg on the winning 4 x 400 meter relay team which in- cluded Bozo, Douglas and Van Cowan.r "In weather like this, I came out here to win, stay loose and not get hurt," Newman said. "I am starting to feel a lot better about my racing, and I am getting into a good outdoor groove. Once again, Michigan scored well in the field events with its tremendous depth. The Wolverines shut out the Spartans in the javelin with seniors Alex Sarafian, Warde Manuel and junior Mike Hennessey placing first, second, and third, re- spectively. Hennessey won the shot put with a throw of 50' 2", and sophomore Jerry Hannifin finished" second with a toss of 49' 7 1/2". Senior Jarrod Bunch and Hennessey placed second and third, respec- tively, in the discus. Due to the rain, the high jump, long jump, triple jump, and pole vault were moved indoors. Harvey felt the move helped some of the competitors and was impressed with sophomore Toby Van Pelt's performance in the pole vault. Van Pelt finished second and cleared his previous personal best by six inches with a vault of 17' 3/4". Junior Brad Darr cleared 17' 4 1/4" to win the event, and junior Mike Carson took third place to round out the sweep against the Spartans. Sophomore Lukeland Gentles won the triple jump with a jump of 41' 5". Senior Brad Holwerda cap- tured first place in the high jump, clearing 6' 10", and sophomore Dan Reddan placed second.

The Wolverines' performance at the Dogwood Relays bares out that fact. "I told them they needed to make a substantial improvement over last weekend (at the Crimson Classic)," Michigan coach James Henry said. "Some of them did, but more of them didn't, and the injuries are a big part of that." Although some personal bests were set, none of the Wolverines placed in the top three in any event. "Our sprinters did not do as well as we had wanted them to do," Henry said. "And our distance team also had a lot of people out with in- juries, that hurt us a lot." Michigan's top finisher was sophomore Julie Victor whose dis- cus throw of 154'7" earned her fourth place. Rookie Laura Jerman set two personal collegiate bests. She ran the 100-meter hurdles in 15.39 sec- onds and the 400 hurdles in 63.52. "She was definitely our best overall performer," Henry said. "We are really pleased with how she has been running." Michigan's 4 x 100 relay team has continued to improve despite in- juries to two of its members. Both Richelle Webb and Suzi Thweatt competed despite suffering from leg injuries. The relay team ran a season best time of 47.77, but were only able to finish tenth. Last year at the Dogwoods, the 4 x 100 relay team ran a time of 47.7 and finished fourth. "The competition there was way out of our league," Henry said. "The teams were much better than last year. We happen to be down right now, and the rest of the teams are up. We just were not able to com- pete with the schools there." The biggest factor in the Wolverines' performance th son has been their health. Th Dogwoods is sea- comes a factor both physically and e team mentally when you start to worry about being injured." The Wolverines' next major meet should be the Penn Relays, April 25-27. However, because of the team's injury problems, the Wolverines may not make the trip., "My coaching staff and I are go- ing to have to sit down and reevalu- ate our plans for the rest of the sear son," Henry said. "We're not ready to go to a top-notch event like that right now. We would have to be perfectly healthy to be even close to competing at the Penn Relays." Instead, the Wolverines will probably go to the Hillsdale Invitational. The lighter competi- !sically tion there will allow Michigan to etition; compete in more events and regroup women for the Big Ten Championships in May. ve have "Our goal is to back off and re= ating," lax, and start competing in con- ting to ducive conditions for Big Tens," .
