CAMPUS AND AREA
Coaches and athletes jump to new routines
By ANN PETERSON Staff Reporter
Perched high on the parallel bars, a Special Olympian athlete yelled to his new coach for instruction.
"Now that you got me up here, what do I do next?" said Robert Mindows, an athlete who lives at Collegeville's residential group home in Lawrence.
"Swing from your shoulders, lean back and forth," Vee La Masney, a coach, said as she tried to remember the instructions she had learned an hour earlier.

Coaches from Kansas and Missouri and area athletes had the opportunity Saturday to learn new gymnastic routines at the Kansas Special Olympic Gymnastics Clinic at Robinson Gymnasium.
"This was the first gymnastics clinic for coaches in Kansas," said Rigby, the director of coaching at Special Olympics. "We teach both coaches and athletes
new events that have never before been part of the Special Olympics."
THE VAULT, BALANCE beam,
parallel bars and floor exercise
routines were added last year to 16
other events in which athletes will
participate at the Special Olympic
games in Wichita, Williams said.
On Saturday, 20 athletes tumbled, rolled and jumped from the equipment at Robinson for an hour and a half. The coach practiced their newly learned skills.
"These coaches had to put in an eight-hour training session this morning and then 10 more hours with an athlete back home to become certified Special Olympic coaches," said Williams.
Bob Lockwood, KU gymnastic club coach, arranged the clinic with Williams so that coaches could have access to his training in order to become certified.
Lockwood spent two hours expiring each month of the compulsory term.
The athletes, all of whom had been in Special Olympics last year, warmed up by stretching and jogging.
