Weekly Release
- Upcoming Schedule
- Friday-Saturday, April 17-18 -- at Mt. SAC Relays (Walnut, Calif.)
- Friday - Saturday, April 24-25 -- at Drake Relays (Des Moines, Iowa)
- Women Return to West After Week Off
- Like the men's team, the Michigan women will take a break the April
11-12 weekend before making a return western trip to Walnut, Calif., for
the Mt. SAC Relays on April 17-18. The women will be sending the entire
Wolverine squad to compete in the meet which will include some of the best
athletes in collegiate track and field.
- Wolverine Women Finish As Runners-up
- Only host school Southern California, who has been running outside for
months, could prevent another team victory for the Wolverines. Instead,
Michigan finished second with 49 points while the powerful USC women
recorded 76 points. Arizona finished with 43 points while Ohio State
scored 28 to round the foursome for the April 4 weekend meet in Los
Angeles.
- Forrester Notches Third Straight
- Perhaps the steadiest Michigan women's track athlete of the 1998
campaign is two-time All-American high jumper Nicole Forrester (Cookstown,
ONT/Banting HS). Forrester garnered a high jump victory for the third
consecutive week with a leap of 5-8. Forrester preceded that victory with
wins in the Jamaica Invitational and Arizona State Invitational the
previous two weekends.
- Thrower Earns Victory in Second Try
- In only her second meet of the season, senior javelin thrower Amy
Johnson (Ottawa, IL/Ottawa HS) earned her initial victory of the 1998
season. Johnson won the event with a toss of 115-9 at the April 4
USC-Arizona-Michigan-Ohio State meet.
- Another Record
- For the second time in three weeks the women's 4x100-meter relay team
set a Michigan record, this time running a 45.43. The foursome consisted
of sophomores Kenise Bocage (Aurora, CO/George Washington HS) and Maria
Brown (Kingston, Jamaica/Immaculate Conception) as well as freshmen Tamika
Craig (Inkster, MI/Robichaud HS) and Regine Caruthers (Inglewood, CA/St.
Bernard HS).
