By MATT SEELEY
Sports Writer
Bob Timmons and the KU track team know this weekend is their last chance.
Timmons, the men's track coach, will not only watch his seniors perform in their last home meet, but see for the final time where he plays. He'll be the first Eight and NCA Indoor Championships.
"This is our last chance to make final determinations about the conference," Timmons said.
In doing so, Timmons is paying particular attention to the two-mile relay squad.

"WE'VE STACKED people in the half-mile to see who we'll be running in the two-mile relay," he said.

milers on Saturday and send them to Illinois for a qualifying meet next weekend.
Men and women who have been selected to participate have set qualifying marks comparable to most college performers.
Saturday's triangular meet with Colorado and Oklahoma State in Allen Field House closes out the regular indoor track season and some changes are in store.

Alternate Austrian wins downhill skiing contest
LAKE PLACID, N.Y. (AP) — A 21-year-old Austrian who didn't make his country's team until Wednesday tore down Whiteface Mountain for a gold medal in the downhill skis race yesterday in the winter Olympics hit full stride.
Leonhard Stock, the Austrian who skis the Tyrolean Alps around his home town of Flickenburg, came to the United States in 1985 with a team and didn't even expect to compete in the Olympics. But his training times were so good that he replaced veteran Steve Schoene.
"I am a big fighter," Stock said. "I have had to fight ever since I was a kid on the farm. I had to fight to make the team.
I had to fight to recover from an injury in Val d'Isere, and I had to fight every step of the way to win this downhill.
"I never thought I could win the gold medal."
In another big upset, the United States' hockey team defeated Czechoslovakia in a shootout and 2 in the games between the Soviet Union. The untested Americans managed a 2-3 victory.
Annie Borckin, a 28-year-old nurse from Holland who almost quit speed skating last summer because of an injury, led a parade of contestants, 19 out of 30, to a record in the women's 1,500-meter speed skating event. Borckin won in 2:10.65.

"Nebraska is favored to win the women's competition in Stillwater," Snow said. "The guys should beat New Mexico."
