Batig (Ear Galvin sets goals higher than victories, records Coach focuses on team’s experience BY BRIAN MACPHERSON SPORTS EDITOR The throng of spectators had long departed, and Carmichael Auditorium was almost empty. The North Carolina gymnas tics coach still had work to do he needed to join the crew of vol unteers clearing equipment from the floor after the team’s Feb. 27 meet. He’d already spent half the night setting it all up, and a relent less grin couldn’t hide the exhaus tion in his eyes. But Derek Galvin still had the energy left to deliver his sermon. “The most important thing for this team from the very beginning has not been the outcome, it’s been the process,” he said. “How do we go about getting better, and help ing each other get better?” Galvin’s dismissal of the meet’s results sounded like that of a coach working with a mediocre team, not the architect and director of the strongest group of gymnasts in school history. College coaches are supposed to focus on the final score, with the effort only a consolation prize if the team doesn’t succeed. But the Tar Heels’ school record-breaking score of 197.35 that night had established them unequivocally among the nation’s elite, and Galvin didn’t seem to care. “It’s not just about one person getting stronger, but about the team helping them get stronger,” he said. “If we do that, then the thing that they remember 10 years from now is not what they scored in a particular meet.” In a way, Galvin is in the busi ness of memories. He knows his gymnasts have outgrown their Olympic dreams and aren’t going to earn millions of dollars endorsing shoes or break fast cereal. He also knows it would take something close to a miracle to win a national championship on his program’s limited budget. He focuses, then, on making four years of college a little bit more special for 16 young women and on helping them do the same for each other. “They remember how one of their teammates encouraged them when they were struggling with a skill,” he said. “Or when they were exhausted and trying to get through another routine, it was the encouragement of someone else on the team that helped them do that. “That’s what they’re going to remember.” lA/hat c)o / knou- cJhout me?... t bious one i)axj / It to sta.lta, ... tatnot je.t. • Birth Control • Pregnancy Testing • Surgical Abortion •' Conscious Sedation (optional) J| • STD/HIV Testing* I www, plannedparenthood.org/ppcnc ®lje Saily ©ar Bppl For Rent | LTS Management "The Best Properties Close To Campus" Walk to Campus 515 Merritt Mill Rd - 2BR/1.58A - $980; 3BR/I.SBA - SI2OO close, convenient, roomy interior, free parking Amity Court - 2BR/IBA - SIOBO hardwood floors, huge bedrooms, only 2 left! 111 Cameron Court - 2BR/IBA -sllsO hardwood floors, extra nice interior, only one left! 301 Henderson Street - IBR/IBA - $750 £ a || cindy garden apartment in historic home f or details 331 W.

He paused to congratulate one of his gymnasts, a freshman whose floor exercise routine had earned her a career-high 9-975, and focused again on his philoso phy- “ Maybe that doesn’t sound com petitive enough,” he said. “But what we’ve asked this team to believe, and what (assistant coach) Penny (Jernigan) and I believe, is you can’t get caught up worrying about the scores and where you place because it becomes a distrac tion. “Worrying about your score doesn’t make you a better gymnast. Focusing on improving your form, having better execution on a skill, improving your fitness level that will get you better scores.” <_> 1 & 2 Bedrooms 01.5 Miles from Campus O FREE HIGH SPEED INTERNET* OOn 5 Buslines O FREE CABLE* O 1 month FREE RENT* O Washer / Dryer in Every Apt.

He paused again, this time to address the original question: his team’s prospects for the East Atlantic Gymnastics League cham pionship meet, which will be held Saturday. Galvin had said before the sea son that his goal was to finish among the top three in the confer ence. “To be totally honest, if we finish below third and we had a meet like we had (Feb. 27), I would be dis appointed,” he said. “But that would mean that those top two teams or those three teams are incredible, because this is a very, very talented and gifted team.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

But the Tar Heels were the ones being swept for a change. Florida won its 28th consecu tive match, 7-0, at the Cone- Kenfield Tennis Center. Its streak dates back to last season when the Gators won the national champi onship. Florida has been so dominant, in fact, that it has only lost one individual match all season, to WOMEN'S TENNIS Florida 7 UNC 0 ried about their performance. “I’m very encouraged that this team has the room in their game to make up the ground to be com petitive down the road,” said UNC coach Brian Kalbas. “(Florida is) a very seasoned, confident team. They deserved all the credit.” The Gators demonstrated why they are the defending national champions in the shutout. “They played like a defending champion,” said UNC junior and top seed Aniela Mojzis. In a way, the team took advan tage of the defeat. “This is a measuring stick for us,” Kalbas said. The Tar Heels are in the midst of an 11-day span in which they have faced No. 26 Pepperdine (a 4- 3 win) and No. 3 Florida. They will play No. 6 Duke on Sunday. “This is a tough stretch for us,” Kalbas said. “Hopefully this will make us even tougher down the road.” The best Tar Heel performance of the day was turned in by junior Kendall Cline. In her match against Zerene Reyes, she had a set point, but lost the tiebreak in the first set. She also dropped the second set, 2-6. “She played a really tough play- E EASTERN FEDERAL easternfederal.com Online Ticketing Available @ www.EASTERNFEDERAL.com ( MOVIES AT TIMBERLYNE 'N Weaver Dairy at Airport Rd.
