Seven Qualify for Cross Country Meet
A KU intra-squad cross country time trial was run Monday afternoon at the Lawrence Country Club to determine which seven runners would make up the varsity team. Included in the group of 14 competitors was Jim Ryun, world record holder and former University of Kansas runner.
The top seven runners will compete at Ames, Iowa, Saturday in the first meet of the season, a dual with Iowa State University.
Ryun, who has not run competitively for over a year, lagged behind the front runners, finishing almost a minute and a half after the lead group.
“You’ve got a tough group there, coach,” Ryan said to head
coach Bob Timmons at the finish of the race.
The first seven runners ran in a tight group over the hilly golf course and six of the seven runners crossed the finish line together. The varsity team will be Dennis Petterson, Wichita senior; Doug Smith, Sioux City, Iowa, junior; Rich Elliott, Chicago junior; Dave Andersen, Wichita junior; Jay Mason, Hobbs, N.M., senior; Jeff Wrey, Chicago sophomore; and Jon Callen, Wichita sophomore.
The time for the group was 32:10 minutes. The seventh runner, Calle, finished 10 seconds behind the front runners.
Timmons was pleased with the performance of the group as a whole and specifically pleased
with the individual performances of Wrey and Petterson. Timmons compared the times of this meet to the Big 8 conference meet held on this course two years ago.
Timmons was also pleased with the morale of the team.
"The times today were only a minute behind the lead runner's time two years ago," he said, "and that was at the end of the season. So you see they're not in bad shape."
"The spirit of the team is really good," he said as he watched the team cool down after the six mile ordeal. "They're having fun. That's a big part of it."
Timmons talked with Ryun after the race and asked him
about his training, Ryun, who is living in Topeka and working for the Topeka Daily Capital, has started training again after a year's layoff to finish school.
He is running 12 miles a day and has lost the 30 pounds he gained during the past year. He is running on his own and Timmons asked him to come to Lawrence when ever he can and work out with the team.
Ryun was satisfied with the way he ran in the race.
"I really thought I'd run better," he said. "I'm happy, though. It was a tough course and those hills were unbelieved."
Ryun admits that he never was a cross country addict and added, "Six miles was never really my race."
