He's not the team's best runner. Glenn Sparrow
holds that distinction after topping his fellow harriers
in every meet so far this year.
He may not even be the most improved. Steve
Dorsey and Dick Larson, among others, have also
consistently run personal records.
Yet no other cross-country member better parallels
the up-and-down seasons UNC has had the past
three years than senior Mark Whitney.
The Tar Heels have gone from Atlantic Coast
Conference champions in 1979, to an inconsistent
fifth place finish last year and back to contenders for
conference title and national honors again this year.
Mark Whitney has been through it all.
A business major with hopes of going to MBA
school, Whitney came from Stony Brook, N.Y. with
much promise. As a high school senior, he won the
New York state cross country championship and
placed fifth in the two-mile. While in New York, he
frequently competed against such outstanding past
and present collegiate runners as Steve Francis of
N.C. State, John Tuttle of Auburn and John Grego
rek of Georgetown.
By his sophomore year, Whitney was a big factor
in the team's ACC championship. Gary Hofstetter,
Doug Slack, Jimmy Cooper, Todd Hamilton and
Whitney formed the nucleus of a great cross country
team.
"Before last fall I really didn't put in the kind of
training that I should've over the summer and I
wasn't in very good shape," Whitney said. "Then I
injured myself and that made coming back all the
more difficult."
Whitney fell and sliced his knee during the time
trials, requiring stitches for about three weeks.
"I finally made the top seven by the end of the
season, but it wasn't anything," he said. "It was a
pretty poor season in general for me,"
Ditto for the team.
"Last year we were not a very consistent team.
One of the guys would run well, and the next week
he'd fall apart. The only consistent runner last year
was Jimmy Cooper.
In Profile:
Mark Whitney
With Cooper gone, the 1981 team figured to con
tinue last year's mediocrity. But a new coach (Don
Lockerbie), improved team spirit, more experience
and the sudden rebirth of Whitney has combined to
make the Carolina cross country team formidable
again.
"The difference this year is that our team is really
experienced," Whitney said. "Glen Sparrow is just
running, amazingly tough. He's in great shape, and
, he's got a great mental attitude. The same is true with
John Clark and Todd McCallister. We're all just real
tough and we feel we've got a team that can do some
thing this year."
Whitney credits Lockerbie, an old hometown
friend, for much of the team's early season success.
"I've known Don since I was in the seventh
grade," -Whitney said. "He has done just an unbe
lievable job. He's really organized and a natural
coach."
Lockerbie has similar praise for Whitney. "Mark
has made unbelievable improvement," he said, speci
fically citing Whitney's ninth place finish, out of 56
runners, in the Virginia Invitational last weekend. '
. "Before the season started, we really were a no
name cross country team," he said. "But Mark is one
of the reasons we are now the surprise team in the
country." -
Unlike last year, Whitney has been the portrait of
consistency in 1981. Fourth in the season's first race,
a tri-meet victory, over State and Virginia, he finished
fifth the next week at College Park, Md. But his best
race was in the demanding Virginia Invitational last
Saturday, which featured two Top 10 schools, East
Tennessee State and Auburn.
"I probably ran the best race of my life there,"
Whitney said. By running the five-mil Charlot
tesville course in 23 :58, he cut 48 seconds off the time
he had . recorded on the same layout two weeks
earlier. But more importantly, Whitney helped the
Tar Heel team finish second overall, behind fifth
ranked East Tennessee and ahead of tenth-ranked
Auburn.
"I feel that this year is a chance to prove myself
again after the disappointing season last year," he
said. ' .
Mark Whitney
"As far as the team goes, Gemson will be tough,"
he said. "But we've got as good a shot as anybody of
going to the nationals. We feel like we're Top 10 in
the country. We just have to go out and prove it."
So far this year, Mark Whitney and the UNC cross
country team has done just that.

Front staff reports
The men's soccer team will not have
much time to savor its 1-0 overtime upset
of Clemson before they prepare for two
challenging non-conference matches this
weekend.
Having dispatched with No. 3 Clemson,
the Tar Heels travel to New England to
meet Boston College today and No. 1
ranked Connecticut Sunday.
"We're playing two nationally-ranked
and respected teams back to back," UNC
coach Anson Dorrance said. "It should
be an interesting weekend."
The women's team joins the men on
their East coast trip and also plays BC
and UConn. The women are coming off
an easy victory in their own invitational
tournament last weekend. They defeated
George Washington 9-0 in the title match,
making their record 1 i-0.
Stephanie Zeh was named the tourna
ment's Most Valuable Player, while
Laurie Gregg was honored as the Most
Valuable Midfielder and Nancy Clary as
Most Valuable Defensive Player. Janet
Rayfield, Wendy Greenberg, Susan Ellis,
Zeh, Clary and Gregg made the all-tournament
team.
Ricky Marvin's stellar performance in
the Clemson shutout, earned him the
honor of Regional Player of the Week.
The volleyball team plays in the Florida
State Invitational in Tallahassee today.
Coach Beth Miller's squad, now 10-1,
finished third in the South Carolina In
vitational last week, losing to Clemson in
the semifinals.
The men's cross country team, on the
other hand, will try to redeem itself after
a rather disappointing sixth place finish in
the Virginia Invitational. The Tar Heels,
2-1 in dual meets, run against a peren

today.

The threat of rain for Saturday's UNC
Wake Forest football game is increasing.
The National Weather Service expects
substantial rainfall in the Triangle area
during the day Saturday and on into Sun
day. The high for Saturday is expected to
be only 63 degrees.
Wake Forest flanker Kenny Duckett,
who has been out with an injury, may
play, UNC coach Dick Crum said at his
weekly press conference. But' Wake
Forest coach Al Groh, a former UNC
assistant, may go with sophomore Tim
Ryan instead, especially if it does indeed
rain so as not to risk further injury.
. Duckett was a preseason All-ACC pick
but it appears that teammate wide re
ceiver Wayne Baumgardner may now
have the best shot at post season honors.
Baumgardner has caught 27 passes for
345 yards and a touchdown.
Starting quarterback Gary Schofield,
who has been splitting time with David
Webber, has thrown for six touchdowns
and completed 56 percent of his passes.
"This is a typical Wake Forest football
team one that throws the ball very
well," Crum said. "But we cannot be
concerned specifically for the pass. We
did that against Georgia Tech and they
did a good job of ninning the football
against us."
Wake Forest comes into the game with
a 2-3 record.

Tar Heels lead ACC in six team categories
wis' rm'
From wire reports
North Carolina, despite losing the ser
vices of Kelvin Bryant last week, maintained
its hold on six of the Atlantic Coast Con
ference team statistics while downing
Georgia Tech 28-7.
The Tar Heels' defense places first in de
fending against the pass, and in total
defense, while the North Carolina offense
leads in rushing offense, and in total of
fense. In addition, the Tar Heels are on
top of the league in net punting. -
North Carolina did lose the lead of a
category over the weekend, as the Clemson
defense in a superb 21-3 victory over Ken
tucky, vaulted two spots in rushing defense
to first place, allowing just 94 yards against
YARDS
the run. Maryland maintained second place
in that category giving up 102 yards, and
North Carolina dropped to third at 115.
The Tigers also continue to lead the
conference in scoring defense, allowing an
incredible average of only 5.2 points a
game. Clemson is also second in total
defense, kickoff returns and net punting.
N.C. State, who defeated Virginia 30-24
without the services of running back Joe
Mcintosh, continues to place' well in the
conference statistics. The Wolfpack is se
cond in scoring offense to North Carolina,
second in rushing offense to it by a slim
margin and also second to North Carolina
in total offense.
Wake Forest barely hung on to its pass
ing lead after its 15-14 comeback win over
Appalachian, and currently leads Duke 226
yards to 225. The Deacons moved up to
second in punt returns with a 10.7 average,
and climbed two . notches in scoring
defense, and one step in punting.
Maryland climbed one position to grab
the lead in kickoff returns, averaging 24.6
yards a return. The Terrapins moved up
two slots on passing offense and now are
averaging 158 yards through the air.
Duke, after two good statistical outings,
now holds third place in total offense, a
jump of two places for the Blue Devils.
Virginia, after two high scoring games,
now ranks fifth in scoring offense, up
three spots from last week when they rank
ed last. -

Tennis beats Wake looks to Duke
By SHARON KESTER
. DTH Staff Writer
The UNC women's tennis team, com
ing off a relatively easy 8-1 victory over
Wake Forest Wednesday and facing per
haps, an easier opponent at Duke this Fri
day afternoon, has not given Coach Kitty
Harrison reason to ease up in practice.
Having watched the Blue Devils finish
one place behind UNC at the South
Carolina Tournament last weekend, Har
rison said: "They're looking sharp.
There's no doubt about it. They're work
ing hard. They're practicing on Satur
days. And they're keen. We cannot af
ford to play loosely against them. If we
do, we're going to be sunk, because
they're primed for us.
"Even though they don't have, in my
mind, the player-to-player strength that
we do, they're looking for our Achilles'
heel, which we have more than one of un
fortunately," Harrison said.
The Achilles' heel that has been most
bothersome this season is the one at third
doubles, she said. "Sarah Dickinson and
Kathy Barton have had a good match
here and there, but on the whole, it's
been an iffy situation.
"Sarah is new to the team. She's green,

and she's young," Harrison said. "And
Kathy is primarily a singles player. She's
learning to like doubles better and getting
into it more. But still, it's not what you'd
call the best doubles by a long shot."
The No. 3 doubles team has not yet
been determined. "We've got to put some
things together at practice," Harrison
said. "I'm not sure what I'm going to do
yet."
But Harrison is not discouraged. She
described the South Carolina Tourna
ment as a learning experience. "We
should have been higher," said Harrison,
referring to UNC's 1-2 record and sixth
place finish ahead of only one other
team. "But you have to play a few
matches before you can see who's going
to perform and who's not."
Most of the women certainly performed
last Saturday, highlighting the weekend
with a 7-2 victory over Louisiana State
University. Four of the top five singles
players won their matches, with all but
one of the victories coming in two sets.
UNC won all three of its doubles
matches.
"That was exciting for a change,"
Harrison said. "And even though we
won 7-2, it wasn't an easy match. We
didn't have any easy matches down there.

We were the longest on the court, with the
exception of the semi-finals match
between Indiana and South Carolina."
Another good thing that came out of
the match was the discovery that Sandy
Fleischman and Katharine Hogan play
good doubles together. Fleischman, who
. has had elbow problems, was able to play
both singles and doubles. Harrison said
UNC may have beat Georgia had Fleisch
man played at sixth singles.
After her weekend performance,
Fleischman will come back into the lineup
at sixth singles. Freshman Pam
McNierney filled in well at that position
in the Wake Forest match, Harrison said.
She had a weak first set, 7-6, and then
came back in the second and third sets,
7-5, 6-1.
In another comeback victory, Margie
Brown who was a little tight in the first
set, 3-6, changed her strategy and finished
her winning game 6-1, 6-4. No. 1 singles
player Barton won her match 7-5, 6-1;
No. 2 Heidenberger won 6-2, 6-0; No. 5
Hogan finished 6-2, 6-1 and No. 5 Julie

Brown and Heidenberger won 6-1, 6-1.
