UNC to send 10 athletes
to NCAA championship
BY DANIEL BLANK
SPORTS EDITOR
As North Carolina triple jumper
Daniel Harris progressed through
the second day of the NCAA
Regionals on Saturday, he was out
of position to qualify for the NCAA
Championships and his allergies
were acting up.
But Harris fought through the
sinus attack to stick a jump of 51
feet, 113/4 inches good enough
for third place and a spot in the
NCAA Championships on June 9
through June 12 in Austin, Texas.
Although Harris was the only
Tar Heel to qualify for the champi
onships on the men’s side, nine
UNC women will make the trip to
Austin.
The women’s team finished sixth
overall at regionals, led by junior
Laura Gerraughty, who won in
shot put.
Gerraughty broke her own
regional record with a heave of 60-
10. Gerraughty was the national
champion in 2003.
Senior Alice Schmidt will also be
looking to hold her title in the 800-
meter. Schmidt, the two-time
defending champion in the event,

finished third at the regionals with
a time of 2 minutes, 05.51 seconds,
which were held in Gainesville, Fla.
Other UNC qualifiers are Erin
Donohue in the 1,500, Anissa
Gainey in the 400, Tiffany Flomo
in the 400-m hurdles, Carol Henry
in the 3,000-m steeplechase,
Marija Kurtovic in the discus, Amy
Paroulis in the hammer and
Jessica Perry in the 10,000.
Henry finished second with a
time of 10:12.91 and Kurtovic came
in third with a throw of 173-2.
Paroulis and Perry weren’t auto
matic qualifiers but made the cut
for the championships on Tuesday
because of the marks they record
ed at regionals.
Nick Owens placed seventh in
the hammer throw to be the only
Tar Heel to score for the men
besides Harris.
It is Harris who might have
come the furthest to make it to the
championships.
Harris was forced to redshirt for
the 2003 outdoor season after
undergoing surgery to repair a her
niated muscle in his lower leg.
But Harris moved through the
rehabilitation process quickly,
Championship finishing just two
strokes behind the champion.
Prange won two tournaments
this spring the LSU/Cleveland
Golf Classic and the Lady
Gamecock Classic. She was also
the runner-up at the NCAA East
Regional, finishing five strokes
behind Francella. In addition to
her two wins and runner-up finish
at the East Regional this spring,
Prange finished in third at the ACC
Championship.

qualifying for the NCAA
Championships in the fall, where
he placed 13th.
“The type of person I am, I don’t
like to sit around, I probably threw
away the crutches sooner than I
should have,” Harris said. “I prob
ably recovered faster than most
people.”
Unlike the UNC women who
will have the dual motivation of
competing for team scores as well
as individual honors, Harris will
only be competing for himself.
“It’ll be purely individual for
Daniel,” said UNC coach Dennis
Craddock. “Great athletes want to
compete against great athletes.”
Craddock said he is aiming for a
top 10 finish from the women’s side
to prove that the program is
among the nation’s elite.
“We had the largest region, and
to be the sixth best team is very
good. It shows people we’re a very
good program regardless of con
ference,” Craddock said. “Now
we’re at the next level and we want
to prove we belong.”

America since 1996.
Junior Bryant Will was named a
second-team All-American and
three more Tar Heels were named
honorable mention choices.
The honorable mention selec
tions were senior midfielder Kevin
Frew, sophomore defenseman
Stephen McElduff and junior goal
keeper Paul Spellman.
Prossner led the Tar Heels in
scoring for the third straight years
and he ranked in the top 10 in the
nation in both goals and points per
game. He had 41 goals and 15
assists for 56 points. The 41 goals
were the fifth-most in a season in
Tar Heel history.

Bray’s birdie saves Tar Heels
UNC tees off at NCAA Championship
BY DANIEL BLANK
SPORTS EDITOR
By the time the North Carolina
men’s golf team had finished their
final round at the NCAA Regionals
on May 22, they had gone from
being sure they would qualify for
the NCAA Championship to being
sure the season was over.
The Tar Heels entered the day in
third place, just two shots off the
lead, but shot an abysmal 25-over
par 305 to slip in the standings.
“When we left the golf course, in
everybody’s mind, we thought the
season was over,” said senior Dustin
Bray. “We were all really down and
mad at ourselves and each other.”
While at the team hotel, the Tar
Heels learned they would face N.C.
State in a playoff to decide which
team would qualify for the NCAA
Championships, which started
Tuesday in Blacksburg, Va.
The extra hole played out just
like the Tar Heels would have
hoped with Bray staring down a
12-foot putt for a birdie and a like
ly victory.
Monroe makes quarterfinals run
BY DANIEL BLANK
SPORTS EDITOR
Senior Nick Monroe has had an
accomplished tennis career at
North Carolina.
But entering the individual
NCAA Championship, Monroe
still had one goal he had yet to
accomplish making the all-
American team.
Monroe did just that last week,
advancing to the quarterfinals,
earning all-American status in the
process.
Monroe, the 29th-ranked play
er in the country, earned his 100th
career victory in the round of 16 in
which he defeated Stanford’s K.C.
Corkery 6-4,6-3 on Friday.
The 100 wins is good for second
place all-time at North Carolina
behind David Caldwell’s 116.
“We’ve had a number of great
student-athletes at North
Carolina, and he’s certainly one of
them,” said UNC coach Sam Paul.
“He’s done everything we’ve ever
asked of him.”
Paul said Monroe steadily
THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 2004
“I pretty much told myself that if
I made the putt that we would win,
and if I missed it we would lose,”
Bray said.
“When you’re in a playoff, if you
don’t jump up and grab an oppor
tunity, the other guy will.”
Early on, it seemed like UNC
would cruise to a top 10 finish and a
spot in the championship.
The Tar Heels shot a 283 on the
second day to move from eighth
place to third.
But on the third day, the team
unraveled. UNC struggled early
and was never able to regain its
form from the previous two days.
“It was like basketball, after
about four or five holes, I was look
ing for a timeout,” said UNC coach
John Inman. “We didn’t get off to a
good start and, I don’t know what
happened, it just continued.”
But once the players found out
they had a second chance to con
tinue their season, Inman said
their confidence was restored.
“It’s nerve-wracking because
you know only one team is going to
improved throughout his four
years at UNC.
“He just kept to continue to get
better in every aspect of the game,”
Paul said. “He’s learned how to
work even harder. He just kept tak
ing everything we gave him and ate
it up like a sponge.”
Monroe’s run ended when he
lost in straight sets to Franticek
Bajet of South Alabama, 6-2,6-4.
Although becoming an all-
American had been a goal of
Monroe’s, he said he was a little
surprised by how deep into the
tournament he went.
“When you go into the tourna
ment, you just want to play your
best tennis,” Monroe said. “I prob
ably didn’t expect to get to the
quarterfinals.”
Now that his college career is
complete, Monroe will now turn
toward his aspirations to become a

come out,” Inman said. “I think
they were all confident.”
Inman said it also helped that
they had someone like Bray to fall
back on in the playoff.
“Dustin Bray, everyone knows
the career he’s had,” Inman said.
“That’s a great asset to have. And
then for him to go out there and
make the putt, it was just like it
was scripted.”
The putt, which he sank,
advanced UNC into the 30-team
field competing at the NCAA
Championship.
Despite the close call at region
als, the team still enters the cham
pionship with the goal of winning
the national championship.
To accomplish that, UNC will
need to show the form it had the
first two days of regionals and not
repeat its play from the last day.
“We have the ability, now it’s just
a matter of getting the job done,”
Inman said.
“Now we’ve got that chance.
We’re even with every team in the
tournament.”

professional tennis player.
On May 26, Monroe was award
ed the John Van Nostrand
Memorial Award by the
Intercollegiate Tennis Association.
The award is given to a senior
who will pursue a career in profes
sional tennis.
Monroe said practicing with
assistant coach Don Johnson, a
Wimbledon champion, will help
him break the professional ranks.
Paul thinks Monroe’s superior
drive to reach his potential will help
Monroe achieve his future goals.
“He has the work ethic and the
desire,” Paul said. “He’s had the
best work ethic of any player I’ve
ever worked with. He’s going to
have a very good shot because he
wants it so badly.”
