Goals Fulfilled Men ' s Track dominates MCC once again in ! 95; Team ready for Big East foes in ! 96 by Chris Underdid Entering the season, the expectations for the Irish men ' s track team were similar to those of previous seasons. Con- quering all MCC oppo- nents, sending individulas to the NCAA ' s and continuing Notre Dame ' s rise on the national track scene were once again important. But the 1995 season brought on a new goal: preparing a relatively young squad for compe- tition in The Big East starting in 1996. These goals were all accomplished through a balanced team effort. Led by senior co-captains J.R. Meloro and Joe Curran, the squad turned in outstanding perfor- mances at the Meyo Invitational, which fea- tured several track records, and the Alex Wilson Invitational. The Irish won their eleventh straight MCC title with the help of contributions from sev- eral freshmen, including hurdlers Erroll Williams and Kevin Reher and sprinters Allen Rossum and Danny Payton. The Central Collegiates meet in Ann Arbor was highlighted by the run- ning of senior John Cowan and junior Joe Dunlop. The team improved over the course of the season, sparked by the running of Meloro, Curran, Cowan. Senior Mike McWilliams, along with juniors Dunlop anc Jeff Hojnacki also con- tributed greatly with th performances in the distance events. McWilliams, Dunlop, Williams, Cowan and Rossum competed in tl| NCAA ' s, fulfilling an important preseason goal. The goal of prepe ing for Big East compe tion was also fulfilled, the talented underclass men obtained the expe| ence necessary to mal an impact next SCOREBOARD Top Indoor Performances Top Outdoor Performances 55-Meter Dash Allen Rossum 6.23 55-Meter High Hurdles Errol Williams 7.37 200-Meter Dash Allen Rossum 21.97 400-Meter Dash Danny Payton 47.73 800-Meter Run Joe Curran 1:52.10 1 ,000-Meter Run Joe Royer 2:24.51 Mile Run Jeff Hojnacki 4:12.48 3,000-Meter Run Joe Dunlop 8:18.53 5,000-Meter Run Mike McWilliams 14:15.76 35-Pound Weight Greg Moretti 53-3 Shot Put Mike Fleisch Long Jump Dan Frigo 51-10 19-0 1 2 High Jump Brian Headrick 7-00 1 4 Triple Jump Brian Headrick 40-101 4 Pole Vault Dan Grenough 16-6 100-Meter Dash Allen Rossum 10.77 200-Meter Dash Errol Williams 21.50 400-Meter Dash Danny Payton 41 Al 800-Meter Run Jeff Hojnacki 1:49.55 1,500-Meter Run Joe Royer 3:47.54 3,000-Meter Steeplechase John Cowan 8:49.65 5,000-Meter Run Mike McWilliams 14:06.53 10,000-Meter Run Mike McWilliams 29:31.64 11 0-Meter High Hurdles Errol Williams 13.6ft 400-Meter Intermed.

Looking Up Senior strength leads Irish track as young program makes great strides by Chris Underfill! In just it ' s fifth season, the Notre Dame Women ' s track program strove to establish itself as a power in the midwest in 1995. The squad received contribu- tions from all four classes en route to the MCC championship. Senior co-captains Lisa Junck and Maureen Kelly led the team, while se- niors Monica Cox and Kristi Kramer also turned in impressive seasons. Kramer competed as the sole representative of the team in the NCAA ' s. She placed 18th in the nation with a time of 37:41.66 in the 10,000-meter run. Junior Erica Peterson, Notre Dame ' s first ever female track All-Ameri- can as a sophomore, was on her way to another spectacular season be- fore a stress fracture in her ankle left her unable to compete. Before the injury, she had been impressive in both the 400-meter hurdles and the 800-meter run. Sophomore Alison Howard was outstanding in the 400-meter dash, as she posted several top times. Freshman Berit Junker was Notre Dame ' s top runner in the 800-meter run, while senior Emily Husted and junior Amy Siegel were a solid combination in the middle distance events. Senior sprinter Cox received high accolades for her strong contribu- tions in the sprinting and the 55-meter hurdles. Seniors Kramer and Ke both competed well in the long distance event Overall, the 1995 season was one of im- provement and establis ment for Notre Dame Women ' s Track. Al- though a talented core i seniors departs, the contributions of the underclassmen serves a good sign for the tea as it readies itself for Bi East competition in 1996.
