MactCiiminiey qualifies
foir U.. javelin trials

UNC senior Sherrie
couldn't have asked for a better
Saturday. Competing in her final
home track meet, MacKinney not
only broke her own school record in
the javelin, but also qualified for the
NCAA meet and the Olympic trials
in the process.
"I'm beyond words right now," she
said after the throw of 174-8. "This
is something IVe been working for
since my freshman year."
In that initial season, MacKinney
was the 1984 ACC javelin champion,
However, she missed the entire 1986-
87 season due to a knee injury.
MacKinney said during that time
she never quit setting goals.
"I had a lot to prove to myself this
year," she said. "Going into my last
throw today 1 knew I had to relax.
As soon as it left my hand, I knew
it would be a good throw."
UNC throwing events coach Jeff
Gorski was pleased with MacKm-
ney's performance.
I can't say that it's a surprise
because she's thrown that far or close
to it in practice," he said. "We've
assumed that the Olympic trials were
in her reach. Right now she's one of
the outstanding throws in the nation."
MacKinney was excited because
her brother, Joe, was able to attend
the meet. According to Sherrie, he
is responsible for her throwing ability.
"He was the one who got me out
in the back yard and made me throw
baseballs when we were younger, she
said. "He never threw the javelin
himself, but he made me work when
I was younger and contributed to my
throwing ability.
MacKinney and other UNC track
team members competed in the first
State Collegiate meet on Fetzer Field.
The Tar Heel team was not in full
force, though, since some runners
were competing in Austin, Texas at
the Texas Relays.
UNC discus thrower Sean Murray
finished second Saturday with a
throw of 157-9. The freshman qual

From staff reports
While many UNC students were
basking in the delight of a triple-shot
weekend of partying, partying and
more partying, a laudable portion of
the campus community was traveling
off to faraway towns in search of the
best in collegiate athletic competition.
Here's what they found:

Saturday afternoon as the fourth
ranked Blue Jays prevailed in a low

Michael Thomas gave the Tar
Heels the early 1-0 lead with a goal
in the first period, but Hopkins scored
the next three goals and UNC was
unable to pull even the rest of the
way.
Thomas and Ted Brown scored
two goals apiece for the Tar Heels,
who fell to 6-2 on the year. UNC's

of fewer misses. McGorty, who is a
decathlon competitor, also finished
third in the high jump.
UNC's Michelle Withers won the
women's shotput with a throw of 42-

an effort of 19-2 and later ran to a
third-place finish in the 100-meter

performance to win the women's 100
meter hurdles with a time of 13.87.
In the 400 hurdles, Tar Heel Sonya
Thomas placed first by running to a
61.01 finish. Thomas finished second
in the 400 and seventh in the 100.
The only other UNC first place was
turned in by senior Eric Landis, who
won the steeplechase with a strong
late kick. His time was 9:25.5.

ACC Championships later this
month at Duke. Those who have
qualified for the NCAA meet will

Hopkins, which knocked UNC out

the very same field, improved its
record to 5-1.
The halftime score was 3-1, Hop

score.

Sherrie MacKinney confers with
Chapel Hill this weekend, several of
the Tar Heel tracksters ventured to
the Lone Star state for the Texas
Relays. The results were, on a whole,
encouraging.
On Saturday, the quartet of Mike
McGowan, Johan Boakes, Kyle
Lowe and Jim Farmer, running in
the men's 6,000-meter relay, placed
second with a 15:27.50, establishing
the second-fastest time in school
history in the process.
Also on Saturday, 100-meter
hurdler Sharon Couch ran a 14.25,
good for fourth place.
Friday saw the Tar Heels erase
three school records. On the men's
side, UNC's distance medley relay of
Clive Harriott, Robert Vineyard,
Boakes and Farmer posted a 9:33.50
to finish fifth out of 17 teams in the
event.
Two women's relay teams shat
tered school marks as well. In the 4
X 400-meter relay, the team of Mia
Pollard, Jill Irizarry, Shelby Moor
man and Kendra Mackey ran a
3:40.44, which was only good for 10th
in the competition. Then, in the 4 X
800 relay, Michelle Faherty, Kari
Krehnbrink, Monica Witterholt and
Pollard finished second behind host
Texas with a time of 8:36.70.
Irizarry closed out the ranks of the
UNC placers with a second-place
showing in the 400-meter interme
diate hurdles. Her time was 59.62.

Other UNC players were Suzy
McGuire (233), Julie Purdy (260) and
Kim Verecchio (267).
Men's Tennis
COLLEGE PARK, Md. UNC
lost a tight, hot battle with Maryland
Saturday afternoon by a score of 5
4. Maryland's John Zahurak started
things off with a 6-1, 6-3 win over
UNC's Thomas Tanner. The Tar
Heels' No. 1 player, Don Johnson,
then tied things up with a 6-3, 6-2
vanquishment of Valerio Boccitto.
Maryland went back in front after
Harold Castillo bested UNC's James
Krege in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4, and
the Terrapins extended their lead to
3-1 when Danny Cantwell got past
John Bristow at No. 4, 7-6, 6-3.

Carter Griffin, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.
That left the Terps leading 4-2.

Biirtoii' leads golf to
sixth stiraosht TH 1 title
By JIM MUSE
Assistant Sports Editor
On a hot and balmy Sunday
afternoon, the UNC golf team turned
up the heat at Finley Golf Course
figuratively, that is. North Carolina
came from behind in dramatic
fashion to win the Tar Heel Invita
tional for the sixth time in its seven
year history.
Trailing leader Tennessee by eight
strokes going into Sunday's third and
final round, three Tar Heels blistered
their ways to sub-par final rounds as
UNC vaulted from third place to first.
The Tar Heels won by seven strokes,
with a total of 1,097 swings of the
club.
Tennessee finished as the runner
up with 1,104 and South Carolina
finished with 1,107 in the 11 -team
field.
Fourth place went to East Tennessee
State, a full 30 strokes off of UNC's
pace.
Individually, Tar Heel junior Peter
Brennan and Mike Sposa of Tennes-
see had been leading the field with
a two-round total of 143. But both
Brennan and Sposa faltered in the
deciding round, and Gibby Gilbert of
Tennessee, with a sparkling final
round of 68, led the individuals with
a 214 stroke total.
Tar Heels Tee Burton and Neal
Sullivan, both freshmen, placed
second and third, respectively. They
tied at 215, but Burton won on a
scorecard playoff. Burton had birdied
the 16th hole and parred 17 and 18,
while Sullivan shot par on all three.
Waiting by the 18th green on the
final day, everyone knew that the
competition for the team title was
down to only three teams North
Carolina, South Carolina, and Ten-
nessee. After two days there had been
a 15-stroke difference
between the
third-nlace Tar Heels
and fourth-
place UNC-Charlotte.
But as the day went on, it became
apparent that this day belonged to
the Tar Heels.
Burton led a UNC charge in the
final round which saw him fire a
scorching five-under on the last 10
oles alone. For the day he was four-
Womeo
to tough
By STEPHEN GILES

While many students gathered
at the Beach Blast to soak up the
sun, the North Carolina women's
tennis team fought to withstand
the solar rays and a tough Clem
son team Sunday at the UNC
Tennis Center.
A perfectly clear day was then
clouded, as Clemson started off
with a flurry and held on to nip
the Tar Heels, 5-4.
The loss dropped UNC to 15
10 overall, 4-3 in the conference,
while Clemson improved its
record to 16-8, with only one
conference defeat.
Clemson's No. 1 player, Cathy
Hofer, withstood a rugged first set
from her Tar Heel counterpart,
Ann Stephenson, before posting a
7-5, 6-0 victory. The Tar Heels
didn't find things much easier from
there, dropping three of the next
four singles matches.
At the No. 2 spot UNC's Gina
Goblirsch could never really get
into the match and fell 6-2, 6-2
to Pam Menne. Spencer Barnes
gave UNC its first victory of the
day, 7-5, 6-4 over Laurie Stephan
at No. 3.
Tiger victories ensued at the
fourth and fifth spots, with Nicole
Stafford defeating UNC's Landis
Cox 6-3, 7-6 and Diana Von
Gulick downing Dana Kanell 7
6, 6-4.
"The singles matches could have
gone either way," Tar Heel coach
Kitty Harrison said. "We were in
every match except maybe No. 2,
where Gina simply had an off day.
Still, it is hard to take when it
seems that all of the close ones go
against you." "
The match of the day may have
come at the No. 6 spot, where

under-par, with a 68 on the final 18
holes. Sullivan shot a two-under 70,
while Jim Sowerwine pulled into the
clubhouse with a 71.
After a sluggish start, the team as
a whole took control with an eight-under-par
total on the back nine, and
a two-under for the day.
"I wrote down something this
morning in my office that is inter
esting," said UNC head coach Devon
Brouse. "I figured we would have to
shoot three or four under par to win
it. As it turned out, two under was
good enough.
"But you just don't know until you
get something going how the team
is going to react. I think the fact that
we got something going may have
caused Tennessee some problems."
Things could have been much
closer. Volunteer Tim Carr was
disqualified for reporting his hole-by-
hole score wrong. His apparent total
of 221 was wiped out, and Tennessee
was forced to go to its sixth man in
the rotation, who had still shot a very
respectable 225.
But UNC's extraordinary back-
nine play left them a comfortable
margin of error at the end. No one
would steal the Tar Heels' thunder.
Brouse was very happy with the
performance of his charges. "I think
we were just happy to come out
ahead," he said as he presented the
trophies. "We got off to a slow start,
but our guys hung in there, and I'm
very proud of them,
"WeVe really been up and down
this year. We were in contention a
couple times and haven't really
responded, but today they certainly
did. They went out and won the
tournament over a fine Tennessee
team that's been ranked all year
long.
However, Brouse s enthusiasm is
going to be short-lived, with the ACC
Tournament coming up April 15-17
in Greensboro.
"I'm not very confident at all, when
I'm looking at three top five teams
in Wake Forest, Clemson and Geor
gia Tech. I just hope we can go up
there and not get blown away, and
make a respectable showing."

UNC's Diana McCarthy took on
Julie Davis to keep the Tar Heels'
hopes of victory alive. McCarthy
apparently had troubles with the
heat and dropped the first set 7
5. However the Boston area native
shrugged off the Southern humid
ity and held on to win the second
set 7-6 after a tiebreaker.
Using pinpoint groundstrokes,
which were superior to those of
her opponent, McCarthy won the
majority of the key points in the
third and final set to post a 5-7,
7-6, 7-5 victory and keep UNC in
the overall match.
"Diana is a fighter," Harrison
said. "She struggled with a per
sistent opponent and weather to
which she is somewhat unaccus
tomed. Despite the inspiring play of
McCarthy, UNC went into the
doubles action requiring victories
in each of the three matches to
win overall. Still, the team seemed
confident about its chances and
went into the action fully intending
to pull the match out.
When the No. 1 and 2 doubles
each posted first-set victories, the
comeback appeared near comple
tion. Yet, at the No. 3 spot, despite
the fact Vanessa Ames was filling
in quite admirably for the phys
ically and emotionally expended
McCarthy, the Clemson tandem
of Hofer and Von Gulick was just
too tough and clinched the overall
match with a 6-1, 6-2 ripping of
Stephenson and Ames.
UNC did manage victories at
the other two doubles spots to
tighten the final match score, as
Barnes and Goblirsch defeated
Clemson's Menne and Stephan 6
4, 3-6, 6-4 at No. 1, and Cox and
