He has three for making the World Cup teams, two for making U.S. national teams, one for making the U.S. Pan American team and five for various other national teams.
AND THEN there's the one for making the 1980 U.S. Olympic team.
"When I got my first jacket, people would stop me and ask if I was on the Olympic team," said Wiley, who was called the 'next great American quarter-miler' by Sports Illustrated in September. "When I said I was on the national team, they would look at me like I was counterfeit."
"Now I can say I was on the Olympic team. If they ask if I have a medal, then there's a problem."
Wiley, winner of the 400 meters in the World Cup in
2013, trains athletes to go to the Olympics
with the U.S. boycott.
It was not the only time Wiley saw his fame and chances slip away. In 1978, the NCAA made him ineligible for NCAA events because he accepted a B.A. from Grant and a track scholarship at the same time.
WILEY TOOK the case through the courts but lost the commission and the awards he won in a KU decision.
Wiley said the loss does not bother him anymore.
"I don't care." he said. "I think awards are

Wiley made the 1976 Olympic trials, but did not make the team.
By making the 1980 Olympic team, Wiley achieved his ultimate goal.
college, I got four years of an education and four years of a grant.
"I achieved my goal: I graduated."
1. suppose in 20 years a trivia question on a game show will be what Olympic team never went to the Olympics. The second question will be why? I don't know that anyone knows that answer." Wiley said.
**WILE RETURNED to KU last year to start law school.** He said he had been interested in law as a result.
He is not sure what his future in law includes.
Possibly a case like his NCAA suit?
"Maybe an athlete will look at it and say, 'This is wrong,'" Wiley said. "At some later date if there were an athlete and they needed a sympathetic ear, he'd find it here."
Actually, Wiley thinks more of a legal career with "an interational flavor."
"I don't know what I'll be good at," he said. "Possibly some litigation initials, or a college degree." "Final finish school."
Wiley is not sure what his future in track holds; a world record in the 400 meters or an Olympic medal.
world record in the 400 meters or an Olympic medal.
The current record in the 400 is 43.86; Wiley's best time is 44.70, the seventh best time in the world—ever.
"I HAVEN'T SET my goals," he said. "If I continue to run, I could get the record by 83." We are dealing with 10ths of seconds, a few things here, a few things there."
Wiley trains at Memorial Stadium when he can. He
was out before a recent KU junior varsity football game running on the field.
"I run when I feel like it, and when its ad-vantage for me," he said.
Wiley will start training more in the spring, because he schedules most of his meets in the summer. This is so he can concentrate on school, not track, during the academic year.
"I do a minimum of training because of classes," said. "School comes first, My training is based on these."
MOST OF WILEY'S meets are in Europe, which he likes.
"It there one's one thing that keeps me running, it's the searing," he said. "I've been in Europe every year since."
"When I got to the world class level, I wanted to go to the USSR, China and Nigeria. I went to Russia in 79 to look at the stadium and thought, 'Next year it be ready.' " It was more than most U.S. athletes
"I was in Russia again in '81 and the place looks the same. Americans have a shallow view of things," he said. "I didn't see tanks in the streets. The U.S. public got Iran and Afghanistan mixed up."
"I don't mean to sound radical. I won't voicing an opinion on the Russian action or the US reaction, but I'm speaking out."
"I TOURED WITH an all-African team," he said. "They say 'You're an American. You don't have to worry. You just have to make the Olympic team. That doesn't assure us of going.'"
Wiley continues to run, but he doesn't know how much longer he will.
Guidry turns down Yankees' proposal
"Today was a nice day," he said. "Wednesday, I might not come out. It's a matter of time."
By United Press International
LAFAYETTE, Lai.-Patcher Ron Gudry, rejecting a last-minute offer from the New York Yankees, will test his dollar value in the free agent draft because "loyalty is a two-way street," his agent said yesterday.
Yankees owner George Steinbrenner made his final offer yesterday before the free agent draft begins, and he signed a letter of sponsorship, said the proposal was inadequate.
"He laid out an offer," Schmeider said from his Lafayette office. "It's a good proposal but it didn't reach the level he wanted." He and going to the free agent draft Friday.
Seurer given Big 8 offensive award
Schneider said a number of teams had talked dollars with Gudryd and at least six were interested in signing the small but powerful left-hander, one of the Yankees' most effective pitchers in the past four years.

"The Yankees may re-evaluate their proposal in light of what other teams are offering. Out of courtesy, we'll keep in touch."
Frank Seurer thought it was funny.
The KU quarterback yesterday was selected Big Eight offensive player of the week, but he said the award made him feel "funny."
"I feel the way I played was better than I've done lately, but the way quarterbacks play now is unremarkable." "But in the Big Eight, I guess."
"FOR ME TO get an honor like this then to look at my stats and compare them to (Brigham Young quarterback Jim) McMahon's."
Seurer completed 12 of 18 passes for 132 yards and rushed for 101 yards as KU defeated Iowa State Saturday, 24-Mi. McJohnson. He in a pass-oriented division, has had 400-plus vardage days.
The 24 points were the most Kansas has scored this season, but
Seurer said he wasn't concerned with putting a lot of points on the board.
"We know the potential is there," he said. "We're winning. If you get more points than the other team, then it's OK. We can have put a lot of points up Saturday if not for the turnovers. Mine."
Seurer had two fumbles and an interception, but the Jayhawks managed to convert 11 or 16 third down situations.
Amidst growing murmurs of bowl
bidi possibilities, Seurer reflected
the attitude of the entire team—the
Colorado game comes first.
"COLORADO IS improved tremendously from last year," he said. "We've got to win this first one first."
that's another goal from the beginning of the season," Seurer said of a possible bowl bid. "That's the third one."
One Kansas player already has a bowl bid locked up. Linebacker Kyle
Mcnorton, who Saturday became KU's all-time leading tackler, has been invited to participate in the Japan Bowln in Tokyo Jan. 17, 1982.
"Kyle McNorton, Chris Toburen, David Lawrence, Greg Smith are perfect examples of good senior leaders." Head Coach Don Fambrough said. "They worked their way up to where they are now.
"The thing you get out of these kids is they take on the responsibility you like for a senior to take."
Fambrough reported only one injury from Saturday's contest. Defensive tackle Broderick Thompson, who caused Dwayne Crutchfield to give up his first fumble of the year, is out with a strained knee and is doubtful for Saturday's game.
JAYHAWK NOTES: Linebacker Chris Toburen is KU's nominee for defensive player of the week. Toburen had eight tackles against Iowa State Saturday. The winner of the award will be announced today.
