Even with that so-so technique, Celiesisus’ throw of 234 feet, 4 inches earned him a third-place finish. It marked the highest ever finish for a Tar Heel in the men’s javelin and ranked as the highest individual finish of any UNC athlete at the meet. North Carolina coach Dennis Craddock called Celiesisus’ perfor mance impressive. “Anytime you place in the top eight, you’ve done a great job,” he said. “So that third place for him was really, real ly good.” Celiesius scored the only points for the men’s team, as Jeff Ellis, the other Tar Heel competitor, finished 17th in the 400- meter hurdles. The men finished in a tie for 36th place in the team competition. On the women’s side, the Tar Heels top performance came from high jumper Joy Ganes. Ganes, a five-time All-America selec tion and this year’s ACC champion, fin ished fifth in the women’s high jump with a 5-11 leap. Tar Heels Finish in 10th Place At Men's Golf Championships Staff Report The North Carolina men’s golf team carded a 295 on Saturday in the final round of the NCAA Championships for a 1,143 total, good enough for a 10th place finish. Brad Hyler and Max Harris led the Tar Heels in the four-round tournament. Hyler tied for the 13th-best individual score with a seven-under 281. Harris shot a 283 to tie for 20th. Harris, a senior from Worthing, England, was named a second-team All American on Monday by the Ping/Golf Coaches Association of America. Hyler, a senior from Raleigh, received honor able mention recognition. Parker's Parents Say He's Eligible to Play Associated Press The parents of prep basketball star Jason Parker ended months of specula tion Friday by announcing their son will attend North Carolina in the fall. The 6-foot-9, 255-pound Parker was one of the nation’s top recruits in 1999 and signed with the Tar Heels, but did n’t qualify academically and decided to attend Fork Union Military Academy, a prep school in Virginia. Parker’s parents, Jesse and Mabel Parker, released a statement through West Charlotte High School coach Gosnell White saying their son had scored high enough on his recent Scholastic Aptitude Test to qualify. “We are very proud of Jason.

A jump of that height would have topped her career high of 6-0 by a half inch. “I had it on my first two attempts, but it just didn’t come together.” Even though Ganes’ jump did not match her personal best, she did come away with a good feeling about her results. “It helped me get some confidence back that I was lacking,” she said. “It helped me get my steps and my form right and let me know that I can rise to the occasion sometimes during competition.” DeAnne Davis added to the UNC women’s score with her performance in the triple jump. Davis garnered All- American status and seventh place by tying her career best with a jump of 43-3. Six other women competed for the Tar Heels. Heather Tanner finished 10th in the 10,000 meters. Ola Sesay, the ACC champion in the long jump, tied for 11th in the event. Jill Pedretti had the 14th-best throw in the discus. Sprinter Lutisha Shittu finished 14th in the 100-meter high hurdles. Trish Nervo placed 15th in the 5,000 meters while Beth George was 18th in the 1,500 meters. Only the top eight performers in each event scored points. The Tar Heels sim ply didn’t have enough scorers to make North Carolina senior Brad Hyler tied for 13th place by shooting a seven-under par 281 in Alabama.

The result was a 38th-place tie for the UNC women. Sesay entered the meet as one of the Tar Heels’ best chances to score. Coach Craddock said Sesay, a junior All- American who transfered from Kentucky, came in with high expectations. “Both she and I thought she had a chance to win,” Craddock said. “She had jumped just as good as anybody. “She just couldn’t get it together. She kept dropping her foot on her landing, and you can’t do that in this kind of competition and win.” Arizona (1,118), Houston (1,122) and Texas (1,125) rounded out the top-five on the par-72, 7,003-yard course. UNLV (1,131), Clemson (1,133), Northwestern (1,139) and Kent (1,141) finished sixth through ninth in front of UNC. Wake Forest had a 15th-place finish at 1,169 behind Texas Christian (1,146), Minnesota (1,149), Fresno State (1,154) and Auburn (1,161). Oklahoma State’s Charles Howell captured the individual title by eight strokes with a 265 score. North Carolina’s Rob Simmons’ 291 tied him for 53rd individually, and fel low Tar Heel Paul Daniel finished tied for 60th with a 292. Teammate Whitten Meares finished 82nd with a 307. more than sufficiendy on the SAT.” Student privacy laws prevent the release of Parker’s SAT score. UNC coach Bill Guthridge said he was glad to be adding a physical sped cimen like Parker to a frontcourt that already boasts beefy bodies in 7-foot center Brendan Haywood and 6-foot-8 power forward Julius Peppers. “He has rebuilt his body," Guthridge said. “If everybody could go to a place like Fork Union before they went to col lege it would be great." poleci susan monaco bisou2 v feasonaay poceP jane doe tessuto juicy icon Thursday, June 8, 2000 Craddock said some of his athletes were a bit jittery at the event, which could have hindered their perfor mances. “Deep inside you hope that they can pull out some great performance because of the emotion,” Craddock said. “But it can go the other way. They can get a little too nervous, a little too uptight, because it is the national chain pionships."
