6The Daily Tar Heel Monday, January 28. 1985 DAY Kaplan sets records By BETH VELLIQUETTE Staff Writer As UNC gymnast Stacy Kaplan watched the U.S. women's Olympic team last summer, she couldn't help but wonder, "What if?" "It hurt because (I knew) I had a chance of maybe becoming as good as they were," Kaplan says.. When Kaplan was 14, she retired from gymnastics. The pressures of competition on the national level and the four hours spent commuting to and from practice five days a week had taken the joy out of gymnastics. Her team was ranked sixth in the country, and in 1981 Kaplan fininshed I4th in the USA championships. Mary Lou Retton, gold medal winner in the 1984 Olympics, finished 13th in that meet. "All the people that were in the Olympics were the ones I started out competing with," Kaplan said. "At 14 I stopped, and obviously, they kept going.' Kaplan says quitting was a big decision. "I knew if I wanted to go for the chance that I might become one of the six or seven on the Olympic team, I would have to give up my whole life. "I decided not to, and I have to say that I haven't really had any regrets because I was able to concentrate on school, have a social life and do a lot of things besides gymnastics, so I ended up with the best of both worlds," she said. Said UNC gymnastics coach Derik Galvin: "(Kaplan's) limiting factors were not her desire and certainly not her talent, but just the logistics of continuing to train.

Kaplan's retirement was short-iived, but when she returned to gymnastics, it was as a member of her high school team. Emphasis was on the team effort, and Kaplan began to enjoy gymnastics again. In her junior and senior years at the New York state high school meet, Kaplan won all four individual events as well as the all-around championship. Kaplan says she chose to attend UNC because it has both a growing gymnas tics program and a strong academic program. Galvin says that Kaplan will play a major role in the UNC program over the next four years. In her first meet at UNC, the 4-1 1 Kaplan set two new individual school records, and she says she can do even better in the future. "She's capable of more than she did at the last meet," Galvin said. "There were a few skills that I did not let her do because of a back injury. One is her double back flip on the floor, which really separates her from everybody else. "I don't know if you've seen that Wheaties commercial with Mary Lou Retton where they're talking about how she does a double back like the big boys do. Well, Stacy can do one too." Although Kaplan devotes about 20 hours a week to gymnastics practice and conditioning, she says her first priority is getting an education. tied Chuck Murray (NCSU), 6-6; 167 Greg Fatool (NCSU) technical fall win over Stocky Cabe. 5:15; 177 Tad Wilson (UNC) tied John Connelly (NCSU), 6 6; 190 Mike Lombardo (NCSU) def.

State Wolfpack capitalized on its strength in the heavier divisions and on UNC injuries to eke out a 19-18 win in Carmichael Auditorium Saturday. The loss brings North Carolina's record to 8-6 while the 14th-ranked Wolfpack climbs to 1-5. The Tar Heels started off in usual fashion as Alpalacio won the opening match. The sophomore 1 1 8-pounder was behind, 8-5, at the end of the second period, but took only 10 seconds in the final period to pin State's Jim Best. Chip McArdle increased North Carolina's lead with a 6-3 decision over Kurt Wentz in the 126-pound division. UNC held a 9-0 lead in team scoring. At 134, the Wolfpack took advantage of UNC injuries to regulars John Aumiller and Gene Staulters as State's Bill Hershey scored an 11-3 victory over Bill Christie. Because the victory was by eight points instead of seven or less, State picked up four points instead jof the ual three.

Galvin says of Kaplan: "I guess you can tell I'm a Stacy Kaplan fan. She's a very unique young lady. I have a 3-year-old daughter, and I would enjoy seeing her grow up to be the type of individual that Stacy is. She's impres sive in many ways." lose to Wolfpack in final match a 9-2 decision at 142. UNC freshman Rob Koll held on to a narrow 3 1 lead going into the final period and scored a near fall in the final seconds to beat State's Scott Turner in the 150-pound division. In a development typical of many of the matches, both wrestlers were penalized a point for stalling. The contest at 158 was the most exciting of the night, as UNC's Joe Silvestro scored on a one-point escape in the final few seconds to offset the riding time and advantage earned by the Wolfpack's Chuck Murray. The final score was 6-6. Still, the Tar Heels held an 11 -point lead, 17-6. At 167, UNC coach Bill Lam put in Stocky Cabe to face State's best wrestler, Gregg Fatool. Fatool dominated the contest, scoring a technical fall at 8:15. Fatool continually allowed Cabe a one-point escape so he could work on the two-point takedown. The strategy worked as Fatool worked his lead up to the 15 points necessary to score a technical fall and give his team six points. Tad Wilson, usually a competitor at 167, moved up to the 177 division and tied State's John Connelly, 6-6. Wilson had a one-point lead in the final period The outcome of the game was never in doubt, as UNC led from start to finish to up its record to 7-2 in the ACC and 12-7 overall. Scoring the vast majority of their points inside and off of the fast break, the Tar Heels thoroughly dom inated Georgia Tech, dropping the Yellow Jackets to 6-11 overall and 0 10 in the conference.

NC 942-0011 or 942-0824 Gymnastics then defeat By BETH VELLIQUETTE Staff Writer Why do today what you can do tomorrow? That was the philosophy the North Carolina women's gymnastics team had to adopt Friday night when it showed up at a meet at N.C. State and disco vered that the Wolfpack gymnasts thought the meet was scheduled for Saturday. UNC coach Derek Galvin had the contract between the two schools with him and was able to prove that the meet was scheduled for Friday. NCSU was willing to forfeit, but Galvin said no. He would bring his team back the next night. "I don't want to win because they forfeit. I want to win because we beat them," Galvin said. The Tar Heels went back on Saturday and defeated N.C. State and Georgia College with a score of 171.25. Georgia College placed second at 153.7 and State, last year's ACC champion, scored 141.55. Of the four events, the floor exercise proved to be the Tar Heels' best. UNC captured the first five places, with Stacy Kaplan winning first and Christine Thorhe and Suzanne Tonietto tying for second. The crowd waited eagerly to see the event when word went through the gymnasium that Stacy Kaplan would attempt to do a double back flip in her routine. It was the first time she had tried the move in a college meet. basketball team leaders in scoring, excelled during the game and particularly in the first half, when between them they scored 33 of the Tar Heels' 43 points. Fittingly, they opened the scoring as Leake fed Royster for an easy basket. Seconds later, Leake drove to the hoop for her first two points of the night. In the next 10 minutes the tandem combined for 16 points, giving UNC a 22-9 lead which it never relinquished. The key to the victory for the Tar Heels was their suffocating defense, which forced Georgia Tech into 31 turnovers. "We did a very good job defensively," head coach Jennifer Alley said. "We play better when we play an upbeat tempo, and our defense is what dictates that tempo, as they did tonight." Twenty-two of Tech's turnovers came on Tar Heel steals. Leake led the way with eight thefts, while both Royster and Tia Poindexter contributed four steals. The steals usually translated into easy baskets for UNC.

"If she had not stepped out of bounds, whe would have set a new school record," Galvin said. Kaplan said she was satisfied and relieved. "I'm glad to have made it, and now I can perfect it," the freshman said. Thorne, who tied for second in the floor exercise, said she was pleased with her own routine. "It felt good to me because it was a big improvement over the last two meets," she said. "The score is where I ended up last year, and to start this year where I ended last year is good." In the balance beam event, which was plagued by numerous falls by N.C. State and Ga. College, Kaplan won first place and set a new school record as she performed a difficult and flawless routine. UNC junior Tammy Gilbert placed second. Kaplan also won the vaulting event. Thorne and Elizabeth Boulton tied for second and Gilbert captured third. On the uneven parallel bars, UNC senior Suzanne Tonietto captured second and Thorne was third as UNC also swept fourth and fifth place. Kaplan was first in the all-around competion and broke her own school record, which she set last week. "Right now, she's averaging two new school records per meet," Galvin said. Next week, UNC travels to West Virginia to face top 20 opponents Florida and West Virginia. until he was penalized for stalling, giving Connelly all he needed for a tie. At 190, both wrestlers were again penalized for stalling. Unfortunately for North Carolina, that was the only point earned by Craig Spivey as State's freshman Mike Lombardo rolled to a 7-1 decision. The team score was then 19-17, with UNC in the lead. But because the lead was only two points, the winner of the heavyweight match would capture the team competition as well. North Carolina's Stacey Davis faced State's Garrett Keith in the night's final match and very quickly reinjured an ankle which had given him trouble since his team's Midwestern tour. Keith dominated the match as Davis was only able to score on escapes and the two stalling penalties on Keith. The final count was 10-6. The victory in the final match gave N.C. State a 20-19 victory in the team score, However, after the majithe-xfifcrecspejaalized, , manlike conduct, resulting in the final score. State is now 2-0 in the ACC while North Carolina falls to 1-1. over Tech not for a number of missed layups, the margin of victory would have been even greater. UNC jumped out to its quick lead early in the first half after Leake and Royster played a little two-on-five, scoring on their first 10 attempts from the field. Georgia Tech mounted a mild comeback at that point, scoring eight points in a run marred only by a basket by Poindexter inside, and cut the Tar Heels' lead to 24-17. But any hopes Tech fans might have had for a second Sunday upset in Carmichael were quickly dispelled when UNC reeled off 10 consecutive points and increased its lead to 17. The lights could have been turned off at that point. Tech never got any closer than 16 points after that, and the Tar Heels went into the locker room at halftime with a comfortable 45-27 lead. The second half was more of the same, as UNC ran the Yellow Jackets into the ground while sporting a varietv of defensive and offensive sets The only real difference between the two periods was the lack of scoring from Royster and Leake, who had only nine points between them after intermission. This, however, was due less to Tech's defense than it was to a conscious effort to diversify the offense. Alley said.
