Hurdler Sets High Season Goals
By BILL CAMPBELL
Kansan Sports Writer
Gregg Vandaveer, the University of Kansas' high hurdler from Shawnee, Oklahaa has set two goals for this year. first place in the Big 12 tournament and second performance in the Big-8 outdoor finals.
Although he is scholastically classified a sophomore this is the third year Vandaveur has competed with the Jayhawk track team. In his first two years, Vandaveur twice captured third place in the 120-yard high hurdles at the Bier-Birgert Park and in the finals of 13.9 and 14.0. Last year he took sixth in the 60-yard high hurdles at the Bier-8 Indoor.
In three indoor meets this year, Van deaver has grabbed a first, second and a third.
Vandaverne began earning distinction as manager of the state championship in the high hurdles with a time of 14.1. He also placed second in state competition that year in the 18-year low hurdles. Vandaverne was twice a member of the Oklahoma All-State track team.
However, when college recruitment time came, the speedy hurdler, who was also an all conference defensive back, received more football offers than track offers. The Oklahoma State football team of Oklahoma State schools which wanted Vandavever's services.
However, Vandavaer said, "I really wasn't that interested in playing college football. I like track as a sport more than basketball and you get to meet more people."
Vandaveer chose KU because, he said, "I felt they had the best rack program and team. Kansas is probably one of the best track schools in the nation."
Vandaveer, who has already qualified for the NCAA indoor finals this year, said that he felt two things had helped his running this season.
"I got tired of running third," he said, "so this year I'm working harder and I'm gaining confidence because I'm doing a lot better.
The other factor, Vandaveer said, was the addition of Thad Tail as hurdles coach. Vandaveer said that he felt Tally had helped him on his technique and especially on his starts. Vandaveer also said that Tally's work-outs had increased his speed.
Vandaveer he thought his goals for this year were obtainable, with his toughest competition coming from teammate Delario Robinson. Los Angeles junior, he assert that the presence of Robinson in daily practice had helped him in his running.
"If you see your toughest competition working out alongside you, work harder." Javier said.
Ali Triumphs In Vegas Fight
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Muhammad All slashed a cut over the left eye of England's Joe Bugner in the first round yet went the full 12-round distance enroute to a unanimous decision at the Las Vegas Convention Center Wednesday night.
An 8- favorite, the former heavyweight champion from Cherry Hills, N.J., found all he could handle in the 22-year old European champion, nine years his junior.
Bugner had never been cut in his 48 professional matches, but Ali opened a cut over his left eye in the opening round and worked on it the rest of the way.
Although the ex-champion landed sharper punches, he failed to hurt his opponent.
particles, he needed to halt his opponent.
There were no knockdowns but each fighter drove the other back on several occasions.
Celtics Edge Kings
OMAHA (AP) -The Boston Celtics came after trailing by 15 points late in the first half and defeated the Kansas City-Omaha Kings 104-101, in a National Basketball Association game before a capacity crowd of 9,738 Wednesday night.
Time-wise, Vandavera said he hoped to reach 7.0 or 7.1 mark in the indoor high hurdles and a 13.5 outdoors. More important than the time is consistency, Vandavera
"The main thing at a national finals meet is consistency. You have to run three good matches."
Vandavear said that an extremely fast but inconsistent runner would often lose out to a slightly slower but consistent man because of the necessary preliminary heats at a large meet. Vandavear said he felt that consistency had been one of his strengths.
"I'd just like to be consistently a little faster," he said.
Vandaverde said that a large crowd helped him to get mentally prepared for a race. He said he felt that being mentally prepared was very important for a race.
Vandaverse said, "If you don't think you can do it, you won't.
The Jahawk track man have one more meet in which to prepare for the Big-8 indoor finals. That meet is a dual with the University of Iowa University to be held at KU on Feb. 24.
