8The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday, March 30, 1988 Sports Javelin champ McKinney shooting for top By PATRICK O'NEILL Special to the DTH When college athletes get to their senior years, they usually try to make their last hurrahs memorable ones. Such is the case with UNC's top javelin thrower, Sherrie McKinney. McKinney, a 23-year-old senior from Amity, Pa., will leave behind a long list of accomplishments, including the school record she set in 1986 with a throw of 172-3 and the ACC championship she won as a freshman in 1984. Perhaps she may even be remembered as the first UNC woman track-and-field athlete to go to the Olympics. But' McKinney will also leave behind her reputation as a coura geous athlete who wouldn't allow debilitating medical problems to keep her out of competition. ; In November 1986, McKinney, suffering from a severe knee injury and frequent epileptic seizures, was forced to move back home with her family and convalesce. As a result, she missed the entire 1987 track and field season. Following months of recuperation and rest, and the discovery by her doctors of a drug that controls her epilepsy, McKinney is back on the javelin runway in pursuit of more victories in the sport she loves. Her first two weeks of competition confirmed McKinney is indeed on the road to full recovery with the chance to be one of the top javelin throwers in the U.S. On March 20, McKinney won the Tar Heel Classic with a toss of 165 9. Her winning mark was more than 17 feet farther than the closest competition. On Saturday at the Atlantic Coast Relays, amidst tougher competition, McKinney finished second in her specialty with a throw of 165-6, only 10 inches behind winner Julia Solo of Virginia. McKinney and Solo have engaged in a fiercely competitive, yet friendly, rivalry dating back to their teen years, when both were Pennsylvania high school stars. "It's a friendly rivalry," McKinney said of her duels with Solo. "In a big competition, well even cheer each other on." Solo dethroned McKinney as ACC champ in 1986 and won again in 1987 during McKinney's absence. McKin ney hopes the rivalry will help both of them reach July's U.S. Olympic Trials. "Just getting to the trials would be reward enough, after all IVe worked for," McKinney said. McKinney's knee is still fragile, but the medication the doctors prescribed for her epilepsy has been doing its job. "I haven't had any seizures since Thanksgiving, and that's a good sign," McKinney said. MI hope it stays that way." Her second-place finish at N.C. State's Paul Derr Track Facility last Saturday came despite the fact that she is forced to wear a full-length brace on her right leg, which limits her to hobbling halfway down the runway. "She's a tough kid," UNC field events coach Jeff Gorski said. "She's an inspiration to the other kids on the team, because they see she's had medical problems and was able to come back and perform well." McKinney has her sights set on another ACC title, placing in the top 10 in the NCAAs and going to the Olympic trials before the season is through.

What was this? Didn't the NCAA East Regionals end a week and a half ago? Well yes, they did. You see, this past Saturday happened to be "Super Saturday," the day when eight new North Carolina state high school basketball champions were crowned. The girls' games were played in Carmichael Aud itorium, and the boys' in the Smith Center. I happened to witness the 4-A boys' championship game, which also happened to include my alma mater, the Richmond High Raid ers, who were facing the A. C. Reynolds Rockets. No, this is not going to be a story on how my team won, or how they should have won, or anything like that. Rather, this will be an impressionistic column. The most shocking scene during the whole game was the amount of noise the crowd made. Even though only about 80 percent of the lower level was filled, the people who were there more than compensated for the lack of manpower. The enthusiasm at this game virtually doubled any I have seen at a UNC game this year, including the N.C. State game. The most graphic display of this enthusiasm came before the game even started. Fans on both sides began chanting their school's Keith Parsons Opinion nickname, and the sound coming from this small crowd was unbe lievable. It went something like this: "Raiders . . . Rockets . . . Raiders . . . Rockets ..." And that was before the game began. Once it did get underway, after every basket scored, the scoring team's fans went into an absolute frenzy, reminiscent of past UNC games played in Carmichael. During timeouts, the cheerlead ers participated in a little informal competition, imploring their side of the arena to yell just a little more loudly. More often than not, it worked. Both sides occasionally exchanged a few four-letter words, all done in harmless support of their teams. No fights broke out, as happens sometimes when high school students with opposing views get together. Most shockingly, when a player went to the foul line, he had to contend with not only noise in the background, but also arms waving behind the backboards! We all know how Dean Smith would deal with such foolishness in his Dome. The game ended with my Raid ers being defeated. Congratula tions to Reynolds, who played a wonderful game. I did not walk out empty handed, though. I got to see the Smith Center swell with noise never before seen. What a pity more of you did not attend. hp van. iteTfc afe m mm I Estes Park Royal Park 967-2234 967-2239 Kingswood University Lake 967-223 1s. 968-3983 SSThe Apartment People Limited Availability. fg EgB"S;G A Am ELLIOT ROAD at E.
