Relays weather fails to water down efforts

Randy Benson signals the Jayhawks' only baton victory, a 3; 08.8 mile relay

The List Kansas relays were supposed to take on a new look with several events added to promote interest, but that effort was limited by the appearance of an old adversary—rain.
BUT FANS WITH umbrellas and porchos still saw the outstanding performances they were promised. In all, 14 Relays records were broken.
The rain came with its annual regularity, keeping many fans away from the three-day festival and forcing the 7,000 in attendance Saturday to don rain gear.
It was also the second fastest time recorded in the world this year. The best is Cromwell's own 49.74, which he did at the Texas Relaxs two weeks ago.
KU's Nolan Cromwell reaffirmed his Olympic potential by churning to a 49.8, in winning the Cliff Cushman 400-meter intermediate hurdles. Cromwell's time broke the RELays record of 51.2 set in 1974 by Ehren Gisson.
Cromwell, who also ran a leg on the Jayhawk's victorious mile relay squad, was named the meet's outstanding performer in a close vote with Arkansas State's Ed Preston. Preston won both the open 100-and 200-meter dashes.
Cromwell, the first Jayhawk to win the奖 since Jim Rinon in 1969, said he didn't
"I really was surprised," Cromwell said. "I never gave any thought to it at all. I didn't come to my mind, but it's nice. The (mile) relay must have definitely helped."
His quarter-mile split of 47.0 on the Chuck Cameran mile relay, the final event of the day was a sprint to the hawk's swindle of Cromwell, Waddell Smith, Jay Wagner and Bandy Benson. They won
The mile relay victory, KU's fourth in the meet's history, gave the Jayhawks 132 total relay victories in the Texas-Kansas-Drake baton circuit. Texas, runner-up to Kansas in the midfield, beat him with 123 hits, kicks with the Jayhawks and grabbing a kick on the 800-ward relay.
FRESHMAN ANTHONY Coleman was the Jayhawks' third champion in winning the 110-meter high hurdles in 13.88 which qualifies him for the NCAA championships. Coleman, who has performed inconsistently year, said his victory helped his confidence.
"Yeah, I finally ran a good race," he said.
The rest of the Kansas track team, coming off an impressive victory at the Arkansas State Invitational, also performed well.
Cromwell wins, doing it his way
THE JAYHAWK THREESEOME OF Jim Podrebacre, Stone Steve and Rudy Guevara finished in 2-3-5 fashion in the Bill Nielder Shot Put, Podrebacre, a junior, again cleared the 60-foot barrier with a 60-best, half a inch off his personal record.
RICK WOHLHUTER, world-record-holder in the 800 and 1,000, successfully defended his title in the Glenn Cunningham 1,800 (mile), with a record-breaking clocking of 3.18:62 clocking and easily beat Kenyan 4.157 (mile) Bolt, who runs for Eastern New Mexico.
Many other Relays records fell. Phil Robins of Southern Illinois broke Cherton Ehizeleu's meet mark of $314 in 1974, but the jumps exceeded the record set last year by Charlton Ehizeleu, who was named the outstanding performer in 1975, but were not named until 1982.
Poderbarac said, "It didn't matter what I was doing right or wrong, they all went over 60 feet. I probably could've done that left-handed. I never got the big one."
"I'm pleased but I'll do a lot better if I can get those first five hurdles down."
Stone said he wasn't satisfied with his tiniest either, but his 567 toe earned him a gold medal.
FRESHMAN STEVE RAINBOLT, high school high jump champion in last year's Relays, finished in a tie for second with Missouri's Nat Page at 6-10. The event, moved into Allen Field House because of the rain, was won by Bill Knoeloid of Iowa at 7-1%, breaking former Jayhawk Barry Schur's Relays mark of 7-1.

Cromwell's record broke the old mark of 51.2 set when Gibson in 1974. And the amazing thing about it was that he had never sung on a guitar.
"With the blocks I put my right leg forward and my step is all wrong," Cromwell said. "In a football stance it's better. In my first two races this year I had to chop my step before the first hurdle."

You almost had to look twice to make sure you weren't seeing things.
Nolan Cromwell, the University of Kansas' quarterback and hurdler, was in a three-point stance. On the track? In the Cliff Cushman 400-meter hurdles at the Kansas Relays?
That's right. There weren't any snap counts, just the timing of the gun and Cromwell leaving the rest of the field. That's why we don't use them anymore.

Running without blocks was solely Cromwell's idea. KU assistant coach Stan Nawrei, who used once Cromwell run competitively for the first time Friday, didn't advocate the no-blocks start.
"HE HAS REALLY good speed and strength, but the one thing he hasn't learned is how to alternate his lead over the hurdles. That's something you can in practice, and it comes naturally it's hard to get it right in a race."
in so many things isn't willing to learn. But he's so willing to listen."
"We may go to the blocks," Narewaki said. "All we've done is work on strength and a little bit of speed work."
Nawesi said he didn't rule out the possibility that Cromwell would eventually use the blocks.
"That has to be up to the individual," Narewski said. "It depends how comfortable he feels as he gets up to the first step."
Ana-Maria Mendez is a 20-year-old from Mexico.
For his efforts, he was named the most outstanding performer at the Relays.

The top race in the women's competition, the open 800, pitted Madeline Manning Jackson, American record holder in the 800 against Wendy Knudson, former Relays champion, and France Lairrie Lutz, Olympic gold medalist. Knudson, of Colorado State, won the event in 2:02.45. Manning finished second in 2:02.43 and Lutz was third in 2:02.88.
Cromwell finished a disappointing third place in the event at the Relaxs last year.

PRESTON, NOW A SOPHOMORE,
returned to the ROLLING BAY day. This time,
she played softball at a local school.
Sports Editor
I don't consider this a very good one.
I had already beaten everybody in at Texas.
But Preston raised a few eyebrows while winning the university division 100-vard
When Ed Preston came to the Kansas car, he wasn't well-know enough to brace for it.
was looking for more competition than that.
Then, in the same breath, he said he wasn't concerned that world record-holder Ivory Crockett had to scratch at the last minute.
"I'd rather run electronic time than hand time anytime," Preston said. "It's about two-tenths of a second slower than clocking by hand. You have to consider you lose a tenth of a second punching the watch on hand time. That's two-tenths total."
In the 200, Presston had fewer problems. He easily ran away from the field, beating Ray Pryor of Colorado and former KU player James Shipley, than .5 of a second, with a 20.22 clocking.
Preston has already qualified for the Olympic Trials in the 100. He listed only Steve Williams as his tough competition, and he brought high school sensation Houston McEary.
"I feel very good about my chances," he said. "Right now, Williams is the only one who worries me, and I got second to him at my freshman year. I know I can get him."
Preston's biggest concern in the 100 was the start. First, the runners heard the click of a camera shutter and several jumped. Then Clive Sands of Iowa state, the runner-up to Crockett last year, was disqualified for a false start.
"There was too much politicizing." Preston said, and somebody didn't want to.
"I ONLY WORRY ABOUT what I have to do." Preston said.
PRESTON HAS ALREADY run what he calls "the fastest time that's accurate in the United States" in the 100-meters with a 10.07 clocking at Texas. The distinction was that Preston's time was recorded electronically rather than by hand.
"If you consider that and consider the fact that everybody's running 9.9 on hand time and I'm running almost 10.0 on electronic, I'm the fastest. Right?"
Cromwell seeks a relays circuit sweep this weekend
Pair declared ineligible
KU sprinters Cliff Wiley and Kevin Newell were declared ineligible for competition for the remainder of the season after the NCAA denied their appeals Friday.
Wiley and Newell, two mainstays of the Jayhawk's potent sprint corps, were found in violation of a regulation limiting the use of financial aid allowed to student athletes.
Both sprinters had received athletic scholarships and government grants that exceeded what NCAA calls the "commonly accepted educational expense"—$2,765. The government grants, called Basic Education Opportunity Grants (BEOG), are awarded not on the basis of athletic ability, but on a need, according to government policy.
"The BEGO is designed for college students who are in the name financial assistance."
