KU athletes eye Olympics
By ALLEN QUAKENBUSH
Sports Editor
For the past four years, track and field athletes around the world have been training toward this summer. It's 1976. And the Summer Olympics in Montreal are quickly approaching.
All the work, the endless hours spent pounding on the track, working on technique, striving for self-improvement are on the line now. The ultimate, the peak for the track and field athlete is almost here.
Cliff Wiley, a sophomore sprinter at KU, has been thinking about the Olympics since high school. Making the U.S. a country of athletic excellence.
"It has to be the goal for any runner who feels he has any kind of potential," Wiley said. "I started thinking about it in high school. It was the epitome of the world to me."
WILEY IS JUST ONE of many KU athletes, both past and present, who have to be considered as prospects for the 1976 U.S. Olympic team. All know that it's not going to easy but, too, they all have a certain amount of confidence.
Keith Guinn, a junior high jumper here, was redshirted this year after undergoing knee surgery during Christmas break. He hasn't jumped competitively for several months. But he remains confident of his chances.
"I'm very confident as long as I can stay healthy," said Cuinn. "If I can train for an extended period of time, I will be healthy."
GUINN HAS SHOWN world-class potential, leaping 7-4 at the Pan American Trials last summer. With the Olympic Trials qualifying standard at 7-2, Guinn is virtually assured of at least having a chance to make the team. He said he thought it would take a jump of at least 7-4 or 7-5 to make the Olympics.
"Getting off that (7-4) jump last year really helped my confidence," Guinn said. "I had been healthy all summer, and I had been working hard on my technique. I knew I could get off a good jump. I just needed the right meet."
Guinn admitted he won't have any trouble getting up for the Olympics should he make the U.S. team.
"It's something that when you get there, there's no holding back at all," he said. "You have no excuses. It's all you can do."
KU SKPRINTER RANDY Benson is an unusual case for a track and field athlete. Although he has done very well in his two years at KU, he never really considered himself an Olympic prospect until this year.
"It's something that never entered my mind at first," Benson said. "I didn't run until my freshman year (at Fullerton Junior College) and I was just running for fun then.
'My sophomore year I was running for a scholarship and then last year I just wanted to see whether I could go. No, I didn't.'
'Now I've found that I can run with the top people so this year it's the Olympics I'm aiming for.'
Benson, who has run a 45 mile relay split, isn't exactly brimming with confidence about his chances, though.
"I FEEL THAT I will make it to the trials," he said, "but I might be too young to take the team. It might be new a game for me. I'm really pointing toward it and being to give it my all, but I can't make any predictions."
"I'm going to have to run in the low 45s to even have a chance. I'm trying not to think about the competition as much running well and getting a good time. You know everyone is going to be there. Everybody is going to be coming out of the woodwork because it's an Olympic year."
Wiley, the American indoor record holder in the 100 meters, has a great deal of confidence in his ability. The record-breaking 100 meters, which he set earlier this year, didn't hurt him any.
"I GIVES ME confidence in that I know I run better outdoors," Wiley said. "I didn't have a great indoor season. If I run 10.4 indors when I wasn't really right, I run 10.0 outdoors. I don't think that's out of my reach."
Wiley is also a prospect in the 200 meters. In fact, he thinks that's where his best chance lies.
"I usually do better in the longer races," he said. "I need to run in the low 30s, maybe 20s to make it. I dink on me."
There are thousands of other athletes in the United States who are probably saying almost the same thing.
The athletes realize this, and they realize the disappointment they will feel if they don't make the team. But still they can't look past the Olympics. There's no greater sport than basketball, and they don't want an Olympic gold medal around his neck.
As Guinna said, "To me, there's nothing else. A world record can be taken away from you a few seconds after."
"But to win the Olympic gold, or to just compete in the Olympics will never leave you. They can never take that away."
The following is a list of KU athletes and former KU athletes who are considered prospects for this year's season.
RANDY BENSON - 400 meters, qualifying time, 46.14- Benson has run a 46.36 open 440 and a 44.1 mile relay speed. He will likely need to equal the latter time to even have a shot at the Games. At this time, the Jayhawk senior isn't among the top ten men in the United States but a strong showing outdoors could chance that.
CLIFORD WILEY—100 meters, qualifying time,
10.44-Wiley, the American amateur record holder in the indoor 100 meters, thinks he can improve on the 10.4 he ran last January. The KU sophomore is also a threat in the 200 meters with a 20.8 clocking, among the top 20 in the world last year.
KEITH GUINN--high jump, qualifying height, 7-2.
Although coming off knee surgery, Guinn has proved he is a world-caller high jumper, leaping 7-4 in the U. Pan American Games Trials last summer. Tump tied the

Relays assures rain for farmers
By STEVE SCHOENFELD
Associate Sports Editor
Kansas farmers can finally reface a sigh of relief—the Kansas Relays are here
No more drying wheat crops. Thank
goodness, this year's crop is dishewn an-
d crusty.
No more hours spent trying to convince Mother Nature it's time for a shower
RAIN IS ON THE WAY. It almost always rains—or smells or hails or something…dumb.
"We've had anything from snow to sleet to rain," said Ed Elbel, manager of the Relays since 1930. "I wouldn't try to guess how many times we've had rain."
Elbell doesn't have to guess. It's rained hard during at least 11 of the Rulens-in, 1923, 29, 32, 48, '51, 55, '59, 65, '70, 74. Some rain has fallen during most of the KU Rulens; these are just the years there were downpours worth noting.
FROM THE FIRST Relays in 1923, the weather worried about the weather during the liberation.
Forrest "Phog" Allen, long-time KU basketball coach and athletic director, was
the first to be concerned about the weather. Allen took out insurance on the Relays in
He insured the Relays for $5,000. The proposition was this: if one-tenth of one inch of rain fell between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. on the ground meet, Kansas would receive the money.
ELBEL SAID AILN GOT away with in the 1923, 24 and 25 Labels, but after an intervening period he was
"The insurance companies found out they had a losing proposition," he said.
In 1947, the rains and winds were so bad that the Relays were a losing proposition, too. The weather during the '47 Relays had such an effect on the athletes that six men were able to beat at the not too towering height of 114, the lowest winning mark in Relays history.
Ehlel said the rain caused great problems during the Relais because of the cinder layer.
"THE CINDER TRACK was a good

Ryun finds peace within himself after retirement
By KEN STONE Associate Sports Editor
It was no one's funeral, but the mood surrounding Junkin Ryan's press conference was grim.
Ryn walked into the Trophy Room of the Allen Field House annex to announce his retirement from racing, and the hush that accompanied a group of reporters and motorpeters's wrestling.
Normally a noisy, talkative and buerous bunch, the sports writers were serious and somber as they listened to Ryun give his reasons for quitting: "God spoke to me some words." You've fought the good fight. You've run the good race. It's finished." ^24
THE QUESTIONS PUT TO Ryun, who acted like the only relaxed person in the room, got the answer.
"What do you consider the highlights of your career?" asked one.
Another writer asked, "Were you unhappy but not bringing your times to work?"
"IT'S NOT HOW MANY times you've scaled a mountain or how many times you've run 3-51." Ryan said, "but at some point in my life I did it."
An island of tranquility in a sea of anxious reporters, Ryun sounded as if his retirement, coming after he stepped off the track in a mile race at Salt Lake City on February 20, came at the appropriate moment.
Contrary to the expectations of some, Ryan expressed no bitterness, reclamation or disappointment about the way his career had ended.
RECENTLY, IN AN interview granted the Kansas, Ryan was the same calm but talkative person he was at the March 3 press conference. His reflections on his career, his achievements and his future emerged in a thoughtful manner.
"I's foolish to be a slob. I did that once, and it wasn't too much fun at all." Ryan said, referring to his 18-month layoff the 1969 AAIM male championships in Miami.
"I've fulfilled my aspirations in competition," he said. "But I have other things I'd like to do. I'd like to maintain a good level of fitness and health."
"It wasn't supposed to be a pressure race, to my understanding," he said of the race in which an Achilles tendon injury forced him to drop out. "But the announcements were: 'This is the big race in the mile. Ryun is going to special comeback. We expect great thurs.'"
"I don't want to get involved in the competitive aspect of it anymore because I know-purely from experience—that even the most inefficient people into shape, I was measured against past results."
WOULD HE BE TEMPTED to run on the Masters level when he touched the age of 30.
It was such unfair expectation that needed him in his last meet with the International Track Association at Salt Lake City.
For the same reasons, Ryan wouldn't
find seeing his children—he has four—trying
