Wilson fights through injuries
BY ANDY WALES
STAFF WRITER
It’s been an up and down year
for Anna Wilson.
The North Carolina gymnast
qualified for nationals last season
and began this season with hopes of
a return trip. She suffered a setback
just a few weeks into the season.
While practicing her parallel
bars routine, Wilson dismounted
and landed with both knees
locked, resulting in hyperexten
sion of both knees.
“It scared everyone on the team,
and it certainly scared me,” said
Coach Derek Galvin. “Anna is such
a vital part of this team. She is a
great team leader.”
The injury forced Wilson to
regroup.
“It puts a damper on things,”
she said. “You have to dig deep.”
Wilson transferred from
Pennsylvania after her freshman
year.
“I wanted to be closer to my
family and boyfriend, but there
were other issues,” she said. “Penn
wasn’t very big on student athletes.

had a headline that said ‘Student
athletes bring down school GPA.’
“The team felt I was too focused
on the individual; I didn’t concen
trate enough on the team.”
Transferring to UNC proved to
be a wise choice for Wilson, who
placed fifth at the 2003 NCAA
regionals in the all-around. It was
enough to send her to the NCAA
championship meet.
Despite the recent injury, Galvin
was not too worried about her
recovery.
“Considering the amount of
time she’s had to train, she looks
very good,” he said. “Anna heals
very quickly, but we’re still playing
the catch-up game.”
Wilson bounced back quickly,
competing on the vault in the
George Washington Invitational.
Though she placed last amongst
Tar Heel competitors, her 9.65

UNC seeks run of road wins
BY AARON Fin
SENIOR WRITER
So North Carolina can win con
ference games on the road, after all
at least once in every 11 attempts.
The Tar Heels proved that
much with Saturday’s 79-73 win
against Wake Forest, snapping
their 10-game ACC losing streak in
road games. North Carolina had
lost 19 of its previous 21 confer
ence road games before Saturday,
dating back to 2001.
But several questions remain.
Are North Carolina’s traveling
woes over? Did they ever exist in
the first place, or was it just coin
cidence that the Tar Heels hap
pened to struggle away from the
confines of the Smith Center?
The latter is UNC coach Roy
Williams’ approach.
“I don’t get caught up with
whether games are at home or on
the road,” Williams said. “You just
have to have the attitude that you
can go somewhere else and play
well. We’ve let a couple other games
on the road slip through our hands.”
Several of Williams’ players
think there’s something significant
about the team’s road maladies.
Melvin Scott said the win against
Wake will go a long way toward
“ft’s a big relief, man,” Scott said.
“Get that monkey off our back.”
That monkey could easily climb
back on tonight when 14th-ranked
North Carolina travels to Atlanta
to take on No. 15 Georgia Tech.
Both teams have struggled
somewhat since their first meeting

eighth overall at a meet with six
teams.
Unfortunately, the nature of her
injuries reduced her ability to train
at a top level.
Wilson recently implemented a
new bars routine, but it’s proven to
be difficult to practice.
“She lost about two weeks’
worth of high-intensity training,”
said Galvin. “Because Anna is such
a powerful tumbler, you can’t sim
ulate the type of training she
needs.”
But sidelining Wilson was not
something Galvin thought was
possible.
“Once we had the report back
that there was no ligament dam
age, that she would recover this
year, there was no reason to think
she wouldn’t,” he said.

UNC, meanwhile, has gone just

But Wilson was only able to
compete in three events in
Saturday’s Governor’s Cup against
N.C. State, Maryland and Towson.
“(Wilson’s injury) set everyone
back a bit, but (the team) knows
that everyone else has to respond,
help out the person who got hurt
but also to dig a little deeper them
selves. I think they’ve done that,”
Galvin said.
Even though Wilson has made
huge strides toward a fast recoveiy,
reaching the national level this sea
son may still be tough.
“If it’s humanly possible to do so,
Anna can do it,” Galvin said. “She’s
such a ferocious competitor, a
committed athlete, and if it doesn’t
happen it won’t be because she
didn’t try hard enough. She will
never surrender.”

tered since then, as May has strug
gled to regain his dominance.
For the Tar Heels to start an
actual road winning streak tonight,
May will have to play like he did a
month ago. Tech is deep and is
capable of wearing UNC down
with the running game, so the Tar
Heels have to slow things down
and pound inside with May.

Game: North Carolina at Georgia Tech
Time: Tuesday, 9 p.m.
Location: Alexander Memorial Coliseum
Radio: 100.7 FM, WCHL-1360AM
Television: Jefferson-Pilot
Keys for UNC: Contain Tech perimeter threats BJ.
Elder, Marvin Lewis and Jarrett Jack. Lewis was 5
for 6 from 3-point range against Tennessee on
Saturday and the other two are just as dangerous
from downtown. The Tar Heels should be able to
handle Tech's inside players, as they did when the
teams played in the Smith Center earlier this year,
but it is unlikely Elder will repeat the 3-of-9 shoot
ing performance he posted last time against UNC.
Keys for Tech: Run die court Georgia Tech is one of
the few teams in the nation that can keep up with
UNC's frenetic pace, The Yellow Jackets likely will uti
lize a full-court press at times to wear down the
thinner Tar Heels and create easy transition layups
and 3-pointers. The team that forces more turnovers
has a good chance to win this game.
UNC Bench: David Noel was huge for the Tar
Heels in Saturday's win against Wake Forest, play
ing almost the entire second half for a banged-up
Jawad Williams. Jackie Manuel’s 'D’ will be huge.
Tech Bench: The Yellow Jackets go 10 deep, giving
them a major advantage over UNC in an up-tempo
game. The key reserves are sparkplug guard Will
Bynum and explosive forward Isma'il Muhammad.
Prediction: UNC 96, Ga. Tech 91
