ill?p flaily (Ear Heel Tar Heel Rowing Team Paddles Past Blue Devils Bv lan Gordon Staff Writer North Carolina’s rowing crews had every reason to look forward to their upcoming Spring Break trip to California during their matchup with Duke on Saturday. The overcast skies and chilly air that enveloped University Lake seemed to be in stark contrast to the typical West Coast day. And, more importantly, the Tar Heels were well on their way to soundly defeating the Blue Devils. UNC’s varsity and junior varsity eights dominated Duke’s squads, both winning each of their three races against the Blue Devils. “The performance of the whole team was outstanding,” varsity eights coxswain Kristin Miller said. “We real ly stepped it up a notch.” The Dash was the first spring event for the UNC rowers and was a bit dif ferent from most of their events. Instead of the normal 2,000-yard race, the teams competed in three 1,000-yard sprints. It was also a chance for the Tar Heels to avenge a loss to Duke, which out- UNC Bids 6 Gymnasts Goodbye Bv Brad Broders Staff Writer As Senior Night at Carmichael Auditorium concluded the careers of six North Carolina gymnasts Friday, the Tar Heels’ meet against Towson and Yale was packed with energy.

UNC’s UNC coxswain Kristin Miller guided the Tar Heels' varsity eight boat to victory against Duke on Saturday. crew led throughout the first race and crossed the finish line with a time of 3:31.3. Duke finished nearly seven sec onds behind at 3:38.1. In the second race, though, UNC ran into a technical problem that could have cost it the race. The oar of port-side rower Danae Ringelmann “caught a crab" -a rowing term that essentially means that while underwater, the oar turns in such a way that makes it impossible for the rower to keep it under control. around. “It’s a great celebration, but then again it’s sad, the last time being out in front of the home crowd.” UNC coach Derek Galvin said he saw improvement from the Tar Heels’ first meeting with the Towson on Feb. 4. “We were much more consistent,” Galvin said. “I thought both teams looked very strong; this went down to the final competitors on both teams.” Brooke Wilson capped the three meet homestand by setting new school records in bars (9.975) and floor exercise (9.975). The junior gymnast also finished second overall in the all-around. On the floor routine, accompanied by the musical tunes of the Stray Cats, Wilson stuck the full-in, along with finish ing her routine with a tucked double back. “It was just cleaner,” Wilson said of her floor and bar routines. “After we’ve gone through midseason, we’re right at the end, now it is working on polishing.” Winter Specials meineke Discount Mufflers and Brakes 1407 E.

But Ringelmann was able to recover quickly, and the team continued on to finish with its best time of the day at 3:22.9. “You just have to grab the oar and go back to where (you’re) supposed to be,” Ringelmann said. In the final race of the day, Duke bat tled back from a five-seat deficit with 350 yards to go to make the race close, but UNC finished strong to gain the sweep. The Tar Heels clocked in at 3:24.1, while the Blue Devils finished at 3:25.8. The Dash served as a tune-up for UNC, which will soon head to California. There, the Tar Heels will face some of the state’s powerhouses, includ ing No. 3 California and No. 4 Southern California. Said North Carolina coach Joel Furtek, “If we can execute at this point of the season, it bodes well for the rest of the year.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu. In floor exercises, the Tar Heels fin ished with a score of 48.850. Erica Roberts (9.75), Julie Pasqualini (9.80) and Wilson set the tone. Another strong area for UNC was the beam. Aside from Wilson’s slip, the team finished with a score of 48.825. Three Tar Heels scored above 9.75. “Beam was our strongest beam per formance as a team since the EAOL championships last year,” Galvin said. Closing the book with a loss is never the preferred finish, but UNC showed that team improvement can be as valu able as victory. Said Galvin, “All the girls had an exceptional meet, all the seniors can walk out of here proud with what they’ve done over the last four years, and I’m certainly very proud of them.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu.
