'Tuna' McCall's not fishy at all for lately he's run like a rabbit
By GARYVICE
Sports Writer
Assistant track coach Gary Pepin went fishing last year in Dallas and succeeded in landing a talented catch.
His catch was Tommy "Tuna" McCall, a standout pre-milk-miler who has become a key man in the Jayhawk's middle distance corps.

knows my real name, right? That's good enough."
Former assistant coach Thad Talley had said, "I knew his nickname for a long time before he got up here. I called him Charlie."
Freshman hurtney Arthur Coleman, McCall's teammate at Lincoln High School, said, "How Tommy got the name for his school was by each other else since junior high, and were

Winning has been McCall's second
trademark. He was undefeated as a high
school half-miler when he ran a personal
solo 1.4 outdoors and a 1:00 on a
leg relay.
"I always run to win," McCall said. "If my competition is that good, then you can't im' either. I never shook for a time when the ball hit me. If you'd said could run better whenever I had to."
McCall's 1:52.1 indoor 880 ranks 4th on KU list
HE QUALIFIED FOR the national meet by recording a blistering 1:52.1 time in the 889-yard run last January at the Pocatello Meet of Champions in Idaho. His time landed under the NCAA qualifying standard by one-tenth of a second and is the third fastest conference time this year.
for this weekend's NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships in Detroit.

the best of friends. You couldn't stick a pin between us, but I don't even know. I asked him one time and I never did swain."
McCALL AVOIDS any explanations of his nickname by saying, "Everyone here
McCALL SAID WITH a broad grin, "I might tell one of these days. You never know."
But his grin quickly fades when he starts talking about running.
"I don't like running that much," he said. "But, I remember watching a meet from the stand once when I had the flu and I didn't enjoy doing that."
"I enjoyed running for coach Talley. He always be joking with us and be walking around hollering. What a great job," she said. "I wasn't just a coach, he was a friend."
"ALSO, I RUN because I like winning,
and my mother doesn't have to pay my
way through school if I run."
McCALL WILL have to run better this weekend when he competes against the nation's top collegiate runners at the NCAA meet.
Pepin said, "The national meet is a very difficult meet. I hope Tommy competes well. We'd like to see him there scoring points for us if possible. It's

awful tough for a freshman to go up to that meet and do well."
McCall said, "I don't know how I'll do it depends on what state of mind I'm in. When I'm psyched up to meet the man, I will go downstairs usually when the race starts, I'm calm."
AT THE BIG EIGHT Indoor championships, which Pepin called "a big pressure cooker for a freshman," McCall finished fifth.
"I was super nervous in the Big Eight," McCall said. "My hands got sweaty and I was real light." McCall said he was nervous because his back was sore before the meet. He said two doctors had given different diagnoses to his spine, and it was a muscle spasm, and the other same one leg was shorter than the other.
BUT MCCALL BLAMES his sore back on running the tight turns common to mankind, and he often only experience running indoors was in the Houston Astrodome, which has one of the world's longest indoor tracks—a 12-mile oval similar to an outdoor track.
"I don't like indoor running," he said. "I'm looking forward to getting outdoors."
*m looking forward to getting outdoors.*
"You can picture your race outdoors, and you know when to pick up the pace.
Running indoors, you can't tell where you are. It's just like running around in circles."

A University spokesman said Wednesday that tickets were still being sold at all four of the competing schools and that no precise count was available. He said between 13,000 and 14,000 tickets would be sold, nearly 2,000 short of a sellout.
