Running is no joke to Coldsmith
By BILL NEWSOME
Sports Writer
If someone would have told Bruce Coldsmith five years ago that he would enter the fall of 1977 as the leader of a cross country team he would have thought it was a joke.
team, he would not have five years ago Bruce Coldsmith had not even thought about cross country, much less the University of Kansas.
Coldsmith was strictly a rower in high school in Alexandria, Va., until some rowing friends suggested that he try cross country to get in shape for season. Thatason. That's what caught him.
"Running catches you," Coldsmith said. "I really liked it from the start."
**FALLING**
SUCCESS CAME fast for Coldsmith. Just three weeks later he earned the second spot on the KU distance队 and finished 10th in last year's Big Eight Conference Championships. But the blind-haired junior cannot help but think how it was to go from rowing on the Potomac River to running in Kansas.
"Getting ready for crew was the only reason I started running cross country," said Catherine, one of the things that brought on yourself. In rowing, you can only go as fast as the slowest man on the team.
Colmishm's rowing career ended before his junior year in high school when he broke his leg. Since then, it has been strictly cross country.
HE MOVED to the sixth man on the Alexandra cross country team as a junior to the spot on the squad and an all-metro Washington, D.C. selection as a senior.

Bruce Goldsmith, Alexandra V., jaun., displays some of the form and endurance that have made him the No. I runner on KU's cross country team.
Coldsmith was recruited by several schools but eventually narrowed down his choice to between KU and North Carolina. The biology major said he chose the Jayhawks because of the good blend between running and academics.
Oh yes. One other thing helped him reach a decision.
"I got this phone call from Jim Ryun," he recalled. "Boy, was I哭泣 after that."

But the injury bug hit Goldsmith again when he got to KU, and he missed his freshman cross country season with a pulled him muscle.
LAST SEASON was a satisfying one, though, as he missed by just one place qualifying for the NCAA Championships. He also ran a personal best of 24:44 minutes.
