The Beacon Journal Page B6, Friday, September 16, 1994 3 ISMiVftWIIftVisfifiUi Alomar raps out three doubles in 4-1 Tribe win Former gymnast Over dives right into a new sport Note; Just for fun during the baseball strike, what follows is a computer simulation of how Major League Baseball would be if there was no stnke. It was prepared by STATS nc, with the help of three computer baseball companies, Sandy Alomar Jr. proved to be double trouble last night for the Milwaukee Brewers. The Cleveland catcher had three two-baggers (21 for the sea son) in a 4-for-4 performance at the plate to lead the Indians to a 4- 1 victory at Milwaukee. Albert Belle sealed the Brewers' fate with a two-run homer in the 1 top of the ninth.

Rookie Chad Ogea pitched 8H strong innings, allowing only one run on seven hits. He also walked two and struck out three. And while the victory may have helped the Indians' morale they Ir? now have won one straight it I did little toward their quest for the AL Central title. 1 The Chicago White Sox won their fourth straight last night, 9-2 over Oakland, to remain four camps ahead of the Tribe. ED SUBA JRBeacon Journal Susan Over, 12, of Wadsworth, has given up gymnastics to concentrate all of her efforts on diving Club in Copley.

"I was a gymnast as long as I can remember," she said. "I was in Level 8 1 needed a few more skills for Level 9. I quit a month or two ago because my mom thought I'd get hurt again and didn't want it to affect my diving." At first, Over only went once a week, maybe twice, to diving practice but she stepped it up to three or four times a week during the last school year, and went every day when summer came. "She came in and worked hard," Medvedeff said. "If there had been eight days a week she'd have been there." She turned into a butterfly right in front of him.

"You could see the change," he said. "Enormously. It showed up in consistency and the technique the aesthetic execution of making it a dive instead of jumping up and making it look like a trick. "She's very well constructed for diving" he added. "She has slender long legs and beautiful toes." Beautiful toes? "It's the last thing you see," Medvedeff said.

"If they aren't curled, you won't score well. The dive won't score." Being a gymnast helped Over. "I could flip and twist pretty well," she said. It was the four groups she had to master the forward, back, reverse and inward groups. "I did fine with the forward and inward, but the back and reverse gave me trouble at first," she said.

"Now my reverses are my best" She laughed and added, "I still have trouble with the back." Besides the 1-meter, she also does the 3-meter, 5-meter and the 7'i-meter tower. Medvedeff thinks the 3-meter and tower are actually her best events but it didn't turn Though not yet 13, she works hard to finish 7th in national championships By Bob Mold Beacon Journal Mqffurittr Chris Medvedeff remembers well the first time Susan Over went to a regional diving meet. "It was senseless," he said. "She did not want to be there." The young Wadsworth girl was a gymnast who literally got into diving by accident. She broke her arm doing a floor exercise a few.

years back, and her mother subsequently got her into diving tor something to do. As Medvedeff, one of her coaches with the Akron Springboard Diving Team noted, "She did it more or less recreationally." Over's transformation this past year has been amazing. She got better meet by meet and capped the summer by taking seventh place on the 1-meter board in the 13-and-under division at the U.S. Diving National Championships in Rockville, Md. She will not turn 13 until Nov.

30 and is just beginning the seventh grade at Wadsworth Central Middle School, but Medvedeff said there's no question she could compete with the finest high school divers in the state. "If she were to go through the same season as the high school kids, she would do very well in the state, but she's not focused on that," Medvedeff said. "She's not preparing to be a high school athlete. She's preparing to be a year-round diver." Over, who is 4-foot-ll and weighs 80 pounds, also was on her way to being a pretty good gymnast at the WestSide Gymnastics Kansas City, which is 9V4 back in third place, was idle last night. Box score CLEVEIANO 4, MILWAUKEE 1 other meets worry about losing to people.

This meet she just focused on doing the best she could do." And then, finally, after practicing 2'j to 2V hours a day, day after day, Over got to rest "After nationals I was so sick of it, I just wanted a break," she admitted. "This summer seemed like three years because I had been diving all the time."

"By the time we got through the regional and zone meets, we knew all of her competition in the eastern half of the country." Over was understandably nervous competing in her first national meet.

"I was sort of surprised at how I did," she said. "I knew I'd been working hard and I was hoping I'd do well. I thought I might get in the top 15. 1 didn't think I'd make it to finals (which requires a top-12 finish in the prelims). But I was really lucky.

In the prelims I had my best meet ever and in the finals I did even better. "I think all that work paid off." Medvedeff got pretty excited himself watching her. "I'd seen a hint of it in prac out that way at the nationals. Over began having success for the first time this past summer and that's when something clicked. "I took first place at the Kimball Classic (in June at the University of Michigan)," she said, "so I thought I should try to work harder at it.

That was the first time I'd done well in U.S. Diving. I started getting more confidence and I put forth more effort. Before, diving was just something that was there. Gymnastics was the main thing I was interested in." Medvedeff said that Over actually began making her move a little earlier than she said.

"She also did well in the Indy Invite (Indianapolis Invitational) in May," he said. "She ran into some -of the best divers in the country-. though. She began practicing again last week, pointing for the Wildcat Invitational in December in Lexington, Ky.

They took an 8-6 lead at the half and staved off a late East threat to pull into a tie for first place with the idle West Griffins.

Firestone Park then got its shot, launching a time-consuming drive that used up almost the entire second quarter. It paid off when Matt Carson hit Keith Matthews with a 6-yard pass with less than a minute i Tennis Cheney sets record us Cheney, the strength coach and also track and cross country coach at Spnngfield High, set an American record last weekend in Cincinnati as he qualified for the NASA (Natural Athletes Strength Association) National Championships again. Cheney, competing in the 275-pound class in the Masters II Division (50-and-over) actually broke the bench-press record three times at the regional meet. He opened with 363 pounds to break it by more than 10 pounds on his first effort, went up to 385 on the next one and closed with 402. He also did 512 pounds on his opening and only attempt in the deadlift.

He had hurt his leg prior to the meet and decided not to push himself. He also added only a token lift in the squat to fulfill that requirement. remaining. The Rams did make good on their nament in the red division. ACP edged the Emerald Soccer Club 1-0 on a second-half goal by Joe Zetlia (Barberton), then beat the Medina Rangers 3-0 on goals by Joel Wood (Kent), Mike Capozzi (Jackson) and Zellia; and nipped North Royalton 1-0 on a goal by Wood.

Stephen Cushman (Paris) was in goal and got sterling support from fullbacks Nick Prato (Jackson), Kyle Bair (Canton), Brandon MendenhaK (Canton South) and David Vollmer (Jackson). The team, based at Walsh University, is coached by Marcel lo Carrera. Trio tough on defense The Stow Kickers under-10 girls team lost 3-1 to Rusty Nails of Kent in a GAA-SA Classic I game last weekend in Kent but got some excellent defensive play from three girls in keeping the game close. Midfielder Tare Thompson and fullbacks Courtney Hagerty and Ashley Briggs all turned in outstanding jobs.

Forward Alex Kelley scored the goal for Stow. The Kickers are 1-1. Thunderbolts win Usef Shahamat scored two goals and assisted on two as the Stow Thunderbolts beat the Lake Strikers 4-1 in a GAASA under-13 boys Classic 2 Division game last weekend at Silver Springs Park.

The Cosmos tightened their defense after the break and Jordan Howes scored on an assist from Michael Kline to begin the second-half comeback. Kline also had another assist. Stevens then scored the next three goals in a row, and Todd Spencer got the last one. Fullback Andy Hlavin played a major role, too.

He stayed back on defense and shut off everything in front of the goalie. It was the Cosmos' third win in a row. Blasters Win Chris Cantor, Tim Gillespie, Paul Eader, Scott Hunt and Nathan Turner scored one goal apiece as the Norton Blasters beat Tallmadge 5-2 last weekend in a GAASA under-11 boys Classic 3 Division game.
