Best in school's history
Maud vaults into TUNC record books
- By TOM BERRY
UTH SUff Writer
In the seventh grade at Dublin (Ohio) Junior High
School, Chris Mand started pole vaulting because his
school had no baseball team.
Eight years, thousands of vaults and hundreds of used
poles later, Mand now holds both the Ohio high school
state record and the University of North Carolina school
mark in the pole vault.
In profile:
Chris Mand
"They didn't have a baseball team, and I wanted to
do a spring sport; so track was the only thing left,"
Mand said. "It's usually just curiosity; that's how most
get started."
"I ran other events," he said. "I just happened to be
better at pole vaulting."
Better is an understatement.
As a junior at Dublin High School in 1978, Mand
vaulted a state record 15-8. The mark still stands. He
won the state title again as a senior, but couldn't top his
previous height.
Now a junior at Carolina, Mand has slowly increased
his vaulting height from 16 feet as a freshman to 16-3 as
a sophomore to his current record vault of 16-6.
Mand was destined to become an athlete. His father,
Charles Mand, is a professor of physical education at
Ohio State University. Older sister Jos played volleyball
at Hope College in Michigan, and younger sister Vanessa
runs track and plays basketball for Dublin Junior High.
Besides track, Mand also played football, hockey and
basketball in high school. He even considered going to
Yale as a football safety and split end. But track was his
love, and cold weather wasn't.
"Track's really an outdoor sport, and the outdoor
season is real short in Columbus (near Dublin)," he said.
"So I came down here for the weather; plus I wanted
to get away from home, and Carolina's a pretty good
educational institution."
Track coach Hubert West is glad Man-made the trip
south to sunny Chapel Hill. "Chris is a quiet leader and
one of the most popular team members," West said.
"He's one of the ones we are looking for to qualify for
the nationals.
"We feel he will be the first 17-foot vaulter the school's
ever had, and he's worked very hard to accomplish that
goal," West said.
With the indoor season in progress, Mand seems to set
a new school record every week. In the first meet, the
Eastman Invitational in Johnson City, Tenn., he vaulted
a new indoor mark of 16 feet. He followed that with a
16-4 vault the next week, a 16-5 vault at the Hilton In
vitational and a 16-6 vault, despite a hamstring injury,
last Saturday. .
"I'm hot right now, Mand said.
Mand said he felt he could reach the national quali
fying mark of 16-834". The indoor nationals are
scheduled for Mar. 12-13 in Detroit. When the outdoor
track season starts, the qualifying mark rises to 17-2.
What makes pole vaulters like Chris Mand so good?
"Speed is the most important factor, then your ath
letic ability," he said.
"We emphasize weights a lot more because upper
body strength is really important," he said. "Strength is
something you can easily improve on. You can make
yourself stronger, but you can't necessarily make your
self faster."
Mand said it was important to use a stiff pole with a
high handhold. But he warned that the stiffen the pole
and the higher the hand position, the harder it was to hit
the mat on the way down.
Mand calls Alvin Charleston, the pole vaulter from
N.C. State whom he faces virtually every week, his
toughest opponent. Charleston beat Mand most of last
year, but this spring Mand has held the upper hand.
Mand is a zoology major with medical school aspira
tions who likes listening to music and playing guitar in
his spare time. He also enjoys being around other track
team members.
Wrestlers defeat Athletes in Action
By S.L. PRICE
DTH SUff Writer
It was billed as only an exhibition, but
everyone involved in Wednesday night's
wrestling match between Carolina and
the Athletes in Action took it seriously.
As expected, Carolina won, 20-17.
And as expected, so did senior tri-cap-tains
Bob Monaghan, CD. Mock and
Dave Cooke, as did senior Mike Elinsky.
But after having a 20-8 lead going into
the 167-pound class, the Tar Heels began
to backslide.
All-America Jan Michaels at 167 lost
by 11-3; Robert Shriner at 177 dropped a
tough 11-9 decision, and Steve Gibble
was outpointed 1 1-4.
With the final heavyweight contest left,
the score was 20-14. Only a pin could
cause a tie.
Down 8-3 in the third period, sopho
more Tommy Gorry rebounded with an
escape and takedown to cut the deficit to
two.
But AIA's Steve Burak responded with
an escape to seal his 9-6 victory. The Tar
Heels got off lightly, winning the match
by three.
"We wanted a good, tough match

before the (ACQ tournament; that's why
I scheduled this," UNC coach Bill Lam
said. "They can score a lot in a hurry,
and I knew they wouldn't sit there for
seven minutes."
Lam said he planned the exhibition as a
relaxing tune-up before the Atlantic
Coast Conference tournament next week
end at Carmichael Auditorium.
For now, the wrestlers have a week fill
ed with 6:30 a.m. runs and two-a-day
practices to hit their peak by the time the
Wolfpack, Tigers, Yellow Jackets and
Terrapins descend on Chapel Hill.
"It's going to be a tight tournament,"
Lam said. "With State, you know they're
going to be tough, and Clemson ... it's
going to be real tight."
