Lewis uses sixth try in unsuccessful bid for qualifying mark
By DAVE O'BRIEN Sports Writer
Fred Lewis could have skipped his final attempt in the triple jump Saturday at the Kansas Relays and still won the event.
The University City Mo. Junior had leaped 51 feet, 11 inches on his fifth attempt and the rest of the jumpers had taken all of their attempts and failed to match that mark.
But Lewis took his sixth jump in an attempt to make the 52-8 qualifying standard for the National Collegiate Athletic Association Championships.
Lewis jumped 51-1 on his final attempt — and then he wanted to take another.
Complaining that he had slipped on a faulty railing to petition meet officials for another attempt.
"I didn't know if I'd get the benefit of the doubt," he said later, "but I Fried."
Derek Shelton of the Kansas City Track Club was second to Lewis at 51-33. Delano Taylor, competing unattached, was third at 50-51. KU's Ray Mitchell was sixth at 49-33.
LEWIS SAID THAT he had slipped on the putty behind the triple jump takeoff board. He said the putty, which is used to detect footprints when a jumper has fouled by stepping over the takeoff board, was smeared on the board.
Lewis was the only individual winner in the KU men. The other highlight for the Jayhawks came in the distance medley relay on Saturday, when the team of Greg Dalzell, John Creighton, Joe Manuel and Greg Leibert finished second to a powerful Iowa State squad. KU was timed in 10 minutes, 0.7 seconds, just behind Iowa State at 9:59.47
"The officials should take care of the runway," Lewis said later. "There shouldn't be sand or anything else on the runway. It shouldn't be a disadvantage to the athletes."
RODNEY HARRIS WAS third in the 100-meter dash in 10.51 and Tony Berry was fifth in 10.67. Harris and Berry were also on

height. Dial cleared him on his first attempt.
DOUG LYTLE, FORMERLY of Kansas State and now with the Bud Light track club, finished third at 18-5/4. KU's Scott Huffman, a freshman and the youngest competitor in the competition, finished fourth with a vault of 17-6.
Dial said the competition made it easier to clear 18.8, a new personal record.
Dial won the outstanding performer award as a Makla, Oklaw., high school junior when he jumped 17.5 in the 1980 Relsay. After the Relsay, he looked forward to coming back next year.
"Usually you kind of just give up," he said.
But when they're right there, it helps to push them out.
"The track is beautiful," he said. "The runway is fast, the mats are great. This is amazing."
"When the wind's blowing out of the south,
this is just the best place in the world to jump.
he said 'It's a good, fast runway, a lot of
competition there.'"
Stubblefield, a native of Kansas City, Kan., said he would also return next year.

Three Kansas women won individual events on the final day of competition in the Kansas Relays Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
Kim Jones won the long jump, Anne Baerares the javelin and Stine Lerdahl the shot-put as the Jayhawks continued to perform well in the field events.
For Lerdahl, Saturday's shot-put competition was a chance to defeat rival Pinkie Suggs of Kansas State.
"She wanted to beat Pinkie Suggs real bad." assistant coach Scott Calder said yesterday "Pinkie beat her the last time they threw.
"Stine didn't look that good really, she was
throwing with all arm. But she beat her just because of her competitive spirit."
Lerdahl won with a put of 51 feet, $v_{10}$ inches. Suggs was seen at 34 and KU's $u$ inches. See secd. 183(1).
SATURDAY MARKED A return to form for Baeraaas, an All-American who has battled sickness during this outdoor season. Last year, Baeraaas finished second in the National Collegiate Athletic Association outdoor championships with a 176.8 brow.
"She lost quite a bit of weight," said
Miller, who chose the KU throwers. "She
doesn't have that much muscle."
"She looked better than she has Saturday. She threw relaxed and just took control of the company."
Baeraas nied the javelin with a throw of 143 over K-State's Hoxie McKeen at 145-4 K-State.
Kim Jones set a personal record of 21.3<sup>4</sup> in
winning the long jump over Karen Nelson of Texas. Nelson was second at 20-9; and Lori Risenhoover, competing unattached, was third at 20-2.
ANN O'CONNOR FINISHED fourth in the highly competitive invitational high jump. Jan Chesbro, competing unattached, won with a 2-1 eagle. Jan Clough of Oklahoma was second at 6-0 and Shelly Fehrman was third, also at 6-0. O'Connor finished at 5-10.
The meet's most outstanding female performer award went to Michelle Maxey of Kansas State. Maxey won the women's 400-meter dash, anchored K-State's winning sprint medley relay team and ran the second leg of their winning 440-vard relay team.
Maxey said she had been training hard during the outdoor season but did not expect it to be as successful.
"I thought I had a pretty decent start," she
said "The race really started fast at the beginning, but on the back stretch the wind really bothered me. From there I had to use my arms in order to maintain the lead.
"I wasn't expecting to win this race. I feel really good about it."
NAWAL EL. MOUTAWATIL, the 1984 Olympic gold medalist in the 400-meter intermediate hurdles, had to come from behind Alabama State in the event Saturday. El Moutawatil who is from Morocco and competes for Iowa State, won in 57 65 seconds.
"Compaired to some of my races this was a weak race on my part," she said. "This was my first 400 hurdle race since my knee surgery. I haven't worked out for two months in this event and that really hurt my endurance.
"I'm not disappointed with my time because this is what I thought I would run."

The KU Soccer Club couldn't get the ball to bounce its way as the Jayhawks placed fifth in the Big Eight Soccer Tournament this weekend.
A 1-0 loss to Iowa State and a 2-1 loss to Colorado on Saturday knocked KU out of contention for the championship. The top two teams in the tournament made up the semi-finals of the competition.
Saturday, KU lost two out of three games at 23rd and Iowa streets to place third in their division of the tournament. Yesterday, KU beat Nebraska 2-1 in the fifth place game.

High school long jumper retains title
By SUE KONNIK
Sports Writer
Lawrence High School junior Angela Graves jumped to her second consecutive Kansas Relays high school division long jump championship Saturday with an 18 feet, $6.2$ inch leap.
"You're in the driver's seat now, so we get those knees up and get out there," Steve Scales of women's track coach, told Graves after her first attempt in the preliminary round.
THE KANASS RELAYS high school long jump record of 18.34<sup>a</sup>, set by Maria Gardenhire of Salina Central in 1979, would not stand long. Graves easily erased it on her second attempt of the preliminaries with a 18.54<sup>b</sup>. jump.
With that jump of 18.2, Graves pulled into the lead and never slowed down. Even though her jump was seven inches longer than that closest competitor, Graves wasn't satisfied
"I felt like I was飞高ing in the air," she said, having problems getting height before he jumped.
But the feeling faded fast when she heard the official wind reading was 4.5 mph. No jump made with the wind exceeding two miles per hour counts as an official record.
"I was so happy, and now they're taking it away," she said. "The officials were getting upset because I was taking so long to get ready, but I was just waiting until the wind died down. I guess I should have waited until it was completely calm."
Graves had four more chances to get her wish of a relays record. Her second jump of the final round, 18-4-5, would have easily put Graves in the lead and reading of 2,78 again denied her the prize.
The 17-year-old will have plenty of opportunities to break records. She and Sublett will travel to Colorado Springs, Colo., to the Olympic training center camp June 7-12. Her $19.3½ jump at the national high school championships on July 30 of last year gave her second place and qualified her for the 1988 U.S. Olympic trials.
