Friday, September 24, 1982The Daily Tar Heei9 Women 's Cross-Country Major Leagues f 11 .b OUT Dy KATIIY NORCROSS Staff Writer What differentiates a runner and a competitor? This year North Carolina re cruited four of the top 25 women distance runners in the nation, and each has the desire and the ability to compete. Without this desire, this determination to compete and to win, the runner and the competitor might otherwise appear alike. Each may put in the same mileage the same amount of strain, and the runner may be satisfied with this. The competitor will not be satisfied until she is tested and excels. " The four UNC recruits come from four different states. Madlyn Morreale, from Glen Ellyn, HI., began competing on the junior high track team where she not only ran, but also participated in field events. It was only in high school, when she began running with the men's team, that she became a serious runner. This dedi cation led her to eighth place in the Kin ney National Championships. Holly Murray, from Norristown, Perm., began her career in the eighth grade "for something to do." In ninth grade, she joined the Ambler Olympic Club and became serious about running. "The coach was good, and he inspired me," Murray said. "I started running all year 'round, and T started improving." Improving is an understatement; ex celling would be more accurate. In her senior year, she placed second in the National Junior Olympic Champion ships of Cross Country; because of this, many consider her to be the No. 2 women's cross country runner in the U.S. Valerie Roback, from Blacksburg, Va., lives closer to UNC than any of the other top recruits. Like Murray, she began run ning to have something to do. She also played basketball. The switch from bas ketball to ninning in the winter of her freshman year, proved worthwhile; she placed 25th in the Kinney Nationals. Laura Whitney, sister of last year's captain of the men's cross country team, is from Stony Brook, N.Y. "I began running track in the seventh grade because both my brothers did," Whitney said. "I liked doing what they were doing." She did it well. A four-time New York state champion, she also finished 13th in the Kinney Nationals. "I went after those four because I feel they have four good years in college," cross country coach Don Lockerbie said. "Often the high school superstars are not the college superstars, but these girls fit the mold to be at Carolina." The decision to attend North Carolina was a difficult one because, as Lockerbie said, "each girl was highly recruited by excellent universities who offered ex cellent scholarships. We fought hard for them; UNC can meet all its promises." "It's far, but I knew more about Carolina its running and academics. I couldn't pass it by," Whitney said. Morreale agreed. "It took a long time to decide to come here, but I have no regrets and I'm happy to. be here. Everything's going my way."

Aside from regular classes, the women practice from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. every day and sometimes have morning workouts. The little time that remains is occupied with homework and the necessary sleep. "I had to budget my time in high school, and this helped to prepare me for the self-discipline I need here," Murray said. "I like the team and the coach. The workouts are more intense; the biggest change is a lot more distance at a lot faster pace." Roback agreed that running on the col lege level is different, and that the work outs are a lot more intense. "I'll adjust to it," Roback said. "Coach Lockerbie has taken it into ac count that we're freshmen." Because everything is so new to fresh men, it is hard to set specific goals. Mor reale finished second in UNC's 31-26 loss to N.C. State Saturday, and it bolstered her self-confidence. "Until Saturday I didn't know where I stood collegiately. I was caught between being super enthusiastic and putting things in perspective." This unknown makes defining goals difficult for .Whitney, and ;Roback '' as well.' "I have some personal goals like to do the workouts the best I can," Whitney said. "It's hard to say right now, but I would like the team to do well in the Na tionals. Here there is so much more team effort," Roback said.

"w H front, these first few weeks have been a period of adjustment. Now they , are united with other superlative runners by the common goal of helping their team to win. "Right now my goal is to make it to the National Championships in November either with the team or individually," Murray said. The team has already lost to State this year by just five points, narrowing last year's margin of 19 points. Because each competes with individual goals in mind, the reactions to the race varied. Whitney, who placed 11th with a time of 19:38 was not pleased with her per formance. "Next week will be better," she said. "I'm going to try to keep improving," Roback said in regard to her 14th place finish. Many people would be pleased with these finishes because of the caliber of the other runners, but these two refuse to rationalize. "I felt really good. I beat Lynn Strauss (a previous competitor) and I've never beaten her before; it was neat to see Joan and Madlyn up there. I was pleased and surprised," said Murray, who finished 5th at 17:57. "They wanted me to get the girl ahead, and I. wanted to stay in front of the pack of four behind."., v.w. .ir, ud- FRIDAY and "DAS BOOT The Other Side of World War II M-F 8:15 S&S 2:45 5:30 8:15 6 LO IHSLlCC peg&su5 FRI-SAT 11:30 fWWWWVWVVVVYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYIO "liiz funnf sst film of tits zummzvl If you're a Python fan so to see this movie.

"It was neat because I've been won dering where I stood, and where the other girls have gone. Doing well makes the transition that much smoother." Mor reale had previously raced Connie Jo Robinson (last week's winner from State) in the Kinney Championships where she was 30 seconds behind her. This time, it was only seven seconds. The freshmen have adjusted well and already have started to contribute to the team. This Saturday should be an exciting race against Maryland and No. 7 ranked Tennessee. "Valerie and Holly were both recruited by Maryland; so they will run well," Lockerbie said. The race will be run on Finley Golf Course at 11 a.m. This is the only home meet for the women. A fine line separates the joggers from the runners, but an even more delicate line separates runners from competitive, racers. These four freshmen have the essential but undefinable quality that makes them endure the pain which must be endured to win. "Many schools dubbed us as having one of the finest recruiting years ever; the girls justified it last weekend," Lockerbie said. ''The team is relying on these' fresh- men girls." : it hct S$TOi?DiY 3-7 Freer Draft Coming next Wednesday: Sidewinder Downstairs gameroom cpen at 2 p.m. dally 'MONTY PYTHON Live at the 'Hollywood Bowl .
