QJljr Hally ®ar MM Parker Resurfaces in UNC Backfield Freshman Willie Parker ran for 71 yards at Virginia, where he carried the ball for the first time in five games. By Mike Ogle Assistant Sports Editor CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - Willie Parker saw an opportunity Saturday at Virginia and seized it. He grabbed a chance to go back in time, to his happy place - die start of North Carolina’s 2000 football season and practice. “Coach told us at the beginning of the game, whoever made plays would stay in the game,” the redshirt freshman tailback said. “I tried to make the most of it” Brandon Russell started the game, as always, at tailback, but gained 1 yard on two carries in UNC’s opening series. When the Tar Heels got new life on the drive with a UVa. roughing-the-punter penalty, Parker got the call. His first carry since the closing min- Sullivan Wastes No Time Setting Personal Mark By Tim Solic Staff Writer Molly Sullivan didn’t waste any time in the 2000-01 swimming season. In her first home meet of the year, the North Carolina swimmer obliterated her personal best in the 1,650-yard freestyle and continued to tear into UNC’s record books. Sullivan scorched the field Saturday at Koury Natatorium in the 1,650 free with a time of 16 minutes, 32.19 sec onds. She took the lead early in the race against Rice and never looked back as she lapped several swimmers on her way to victory. Sullivan finished five seconds faster than her time at the end of last season and vaulted ahead of Leslie Ramsey into fourth place all-time at UNC in the event. “It’s really exciting,” said Sullivan, a junior from Las Vegas. “A lot of the pres sure is off now.” UNC coach Frank Comfort already has been impressed by Sullivan’s per formances this season. “It’s utterly fantastic to have a dis tance swimmer swimming way under lifetime best this early in the season,” t Suffering from Empty !} Pocket Syndrome? :■}jfev Participate in our life-saving & financially ff pjjNaV rewarding plasma donation program.

UNC went to him seven times in nine plays, includ ing an errant pass attempt, after the penalty as it marched down the field for three points. Parker rushed six times for 25 yards on the drive en route to 71 on the afternoon. He also caught two passes for 26 yards. “It felt good,” Parker said. “It felt like my old times, old ways, spring ways.” In his old times, he impressed coach es in preseason practice so much he emerged as the clear choice as the open ing-day starter. But his spot at the top of the depth chart didn’t last long. Russell got the nod against Tulsa Comfort said. Since the end of last season, Sullivan has worked hard to improve her times. She qualified for the U.S. Olympic trials in the 800- meter freestyle during the sum mer and spent time training in California. “She put a great summer in - get ting ready for the Olympic trials,” Comfort said. “She really paid a lot of dues, and she got extremely fit.” During her freshman year, Sullivan won the ACC tide in the 1,650-yard freestyle with a time of 16:38.94 and placed eighth in the 500 freestyle. She qualified for both events in the NCAA Championships, finishing 45th in the 500.

Parker stands as the team’s fifth-leading rusher with 121 yards after his per formance against the Cavaliers. Parker carried 10 times for 17 yards and two touchdowns against Tulsa and picked up 24 yards the next week at Wake Forest. He UNC tailback Willie Parker has 121 yards and two touchdowns on 41 carries this season. eventually fell to third on the depth chart behind Andre Williams and has barely been heard from since. That is, until Saturday. “He showed quickness early in the game; he’s been practicing well,” UNC coach Carl Torbush said. “All three tail backs are good players, and there’s just one football. Willie performed well today and looked like Willie Parker from last spring.” Perhaps Torbush saw some renewed UNC history at 16:37.20. Once again she qualified for the NCAAs in both the 1,650 and 500-yard freestyle. This season Sullivan started the year off strong, taking first place in the 1,000-yard freestyle in the opening meet of the season against top-ranked Georgia. Even with her great start, Sullivan is not caught up in her individual success. She is more concerned with the success of her team, which is ranked No. 9 in North Carolina junior Molly Sullivan won the 1,650-yard freestyle against Rice with a personal-best time of 16:32.19.

Whatever the reason for the opportunity, Parker was ready to take advantage of it. “I’m never down on myself,” he said. “You’ve just got to go from the posi tive. If you go neg ative, you just start feeling negative like you ain’t nothing. You’ve got to have a positive mind-set.” At least one of his teammates has confidence in Parker, as well, and hopes to see more from him in the future. “1 think Willie is a talented running back,” quarterback Ronald Curry said. “He just hasn’t had a shot this year. “Hopefully he’ll play more.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu. the early season. “I just want to help the team in every way possible - it’s mainly a team thing now,” Sullivan said. “It’s so exciting right now. “The potential here is just over whelming.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu.
