Friday, February 26, 1982The Daily Tar Heel5 Wrestler goes it alone Baseball wins home opener By S.L. PRICK Avsislanl Sports Hdkr Stroll into the wrestling room at Fetzer just before practice sometime. What you will see is a bunch of gray-clad guys grab bing, rolling, sweating. And one with his hair cut a little longer than the rest, calmly pedaling an exercise bike. Apart from the crowd. Jan Michaels has always been an indi vidual. From the days in Vernon Town ship, N.J. when he played in the all-state football game with shoulder-length hair. IN PROFILE: Jan Michaels to today, when he trains at his own speed and time, Michaels has always been a bit unorthodox, a bit different. In a sport where the individual comes first and the team follows, Michaels ex cels. In his senior year of high school, he grabbed three state championships and was named outstanding wrestler. He walked away the Atlantic Coast Con ference champion his freshman and soph omore years at UNC, and became an All American with an eighth-place Finish at the nationals. "I guess I was pretty radical in high school, with my hair and everything," Michaels said. "There were the jocks and the freaks, but I got along with both groups." , And he gets along here. Last year, with CD. Mock and Bob Monaghan red shirting, Michaels co-captained the team with Dave Cooke, never allowing the team to get down on itself. Coach Bill Lam sees Michaels as one who leads by example. "Jan's a different type of wrestler, with a lot of talent, and he just rises to the occasion," Lam said. "Last year, with no seniors, he did an excellent job as cap tain; he's a leader in his own way, just by not choking under pressure."; Michaels has been less consistent this year than usual, posting a 26-9 record, but he said that he gears himself for the bigger matches, terming himself a tourna ment wrestler. And he has always been there when needed. He was there on Jan. 28 against the Wolfpack, when he lost a tough 6-3 decision to Craig Cox. He wrestled with a 103 degree temperature; he had beaten Cox Five times previously. He's been there for the others on the team. "Ever since Jan has been here, there's been a closeness in the team," tri-captain CD. Mock said. " don't know how to explain it, but Jan is responsible for that closeness. "He's very much independent, and to be as good as he is you've got to be men tally strong. If he doesn't have a good match, he doesn't get down for two weeks. When the guys have trouble get ting it going, he gets it going. "When the going gets tough, Jan will be there," Mock said. Swimmers lead after first day UNC amassed 332 points after seven events to open up a big lead in the ACC women's swimming championships at the University of Virginia. Sue Walsh won the 100-yard backstroke in 55.69 and Barb Harris took First in the 50-yard butterfly (25.44). Cay Andres and Cami Berizzi were second in the 500-yard freestyle and 100-yard backstroke, respectively. Janice Dalrym ple Finished second in the one-meter div ing event. UNC also won the 200 free and 400 medley relays. Lisa Staton will compete in The Athletic Congress National Indoor Championships in Madison Square Garden this weekend.

" lIH-f Hi? hofo Jan Michaels wraps up opponent in a half-nelson .two-time ACC champ looks to repeat this weekend To Michaels, friendship is the most im portant part of his life. In his own quiet way, he has cultivated a rapport with the rest of the team, and it has proven to be important for both sides. Recruited by the top schools in the East, he chose Carolina because of the people involved. "The coaches and the guys on the team are good, level-headed guys," Michaels said. "They're the main reason I enjoy , wrestling for Carolina. I'd rather have good friends before a nice campus." Michaels' conversation is laced with the word "individual." His ambition is to follow his father, a wrestling coach back home, and Uncle Walt head coach of the New York Jets into coaching, pre ferably on a college level. "I'd like to help someone else out," Michaels said. "But I would handle them as individuals, not as a team. Everyone's different." But right now he would like to imitate his brother a two-time ACC wrestling champion at Virginia and repeat his previous successes at the ACC tourna ment here in Carmichael this weekend. He is also looking ahead ,to the NCAAs, where he would like to finish in the top five in the country. "I'll just do what I've got to do." He always has. Apart from the crowd. In distinct contrast to the tough week end Carolina absorbed in Florida against llth-ranked Miami, the Tar Heels whip ped a young and outmanned Elon Col lege team 11-2 in their Chapel Hill debut behind the fireballing of ace right-hander Dave Droschak. Droschak, who got shelled iri the first of the three games in Florida, gained the control he lacked in that 17-4 loss. With an early lead, he was able to stick to his fastball, which helped him strike out eight batters in eight innings of work. A sore back forced him out after two ninth inning batters. First-baseman Pete Kumiega gave him that early lead with a three-run home run in the first inning. Kumiega finished two-for-five with four RBIs. "Getting beat the way I did, I lost some confidence," said Droschak of his first outing which was marked with con trol problems. "1 was a little apprehen sive (against Elon) at first, but once I got past, the first inning I was rolling. Ahead the way we were, I was able to sneak more fastballs by them." Droschak had going a one-hit shutout before giving up a run in the eighth. "We were not as aggressive with the bat as we were in Miami," said Carolina coach Mike Roberts, "but I was generally pleased with the game." - R.L.
