Paul Schultz is satisfied with the daily grind of the continuous, long distance running that is a way of life for a college cross country runner.
"I really enjoy the competition and the feeling of being a conditioned athlete," Schultz said recently. "Success is another thing, too. It hurts when there if I hadn't continued to be successful."
Success is not new to Schulz, who is beginning his sophomore season with the Jayhawks. He finished second to Kansas State's Tim Davis at the season's first meet against Wichita State Gold Classic. KU won the meet for the consecutive year.
"I WAS surprised to do so well," he said. "I was almost powered down for the race. It was so hot that runners in the races before it were like flies. I just wasn't mentally ready."
Although he might not have been mentally舒, Schultz was primed for the physical aspects of the race. He was timed at 20:22 in the course and finished a minute behind Davis.
Schultz said he thought his running success could be attributed to a gift from God
and to his desire to use that gift to reach his goals.
"I have a certain level of ability that was given to me from God," he said. "I don't understand it well."

I feel I should push myself to do the best I can with this ability."
SCHULTZ SAID he tried not to concentrate on pain during hard races but instead focuses his thoughts on running smoothly and staving loose.
But pain is not what most curious spectators wonder about. Instead, a runner's thoughts while running seem to be of the greatest interest. Schultz said.
"That is the most asked question," he said. "When I'm running practice pace with the other guys, we just talk and kid around. We don't talk at all. It's mainly about what's going on in my life."
"IVE HEARD that distance runners are the most psychologically fit athletes and I believe it. I can go off and mechanically run and put my mind in another world."
Schultz is optimistic about this year's KU football team, who from last year's squash back, with the team. Returning runners combined with freshmen prospects give the Jayhawks more depth on the court.
Colorado will be a favorite to win the Big 8 conference title, Schultz said, but the Jayhawks are not worrying about the Buffalos.
"I can guarantee one thing, we won't get seventh place again this year," Schultz said.
Lineup changes put youth in backfield
Youth will play a key role in KU's running attack against UCIA Saturday. Freshman Dw Wagoner and junior Bobby Barrow will be the starting lineup by head coach Bud Moore.
Wagoner replaces Tracy Levy at tailback and Barrow will take over for Sam Smith at fullback, according to Moore, who announced the move yesterday.
"Wagoner has been blocking better and worked hard in practice," Moore said.
Coach suspended after game dispute
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—National League President Charles Feeney has suspended San Francisco Giants Coach Dave Bristol for the remainder of the season and fined him $500 for an altercation with an umpire, the Giants announced yesterday.
Bristol's suspension resulted from the coach's conduct in a game at Candlestick Park last Saturday against the Cincinnati Reds.
Feeney, who was at the game, said in a note to the Giants that Bristol used abusive language, argued with first base umpire Howard Grosso and struck the umpire in the face with his cap.
Bristol has asked for a hearing and Feneey has agreed to grant him one at his request.
The dispute arose when the Giants protested that George Foster of the Reds apparently had swung at a pitch for a third strike. The umpire ruled it a ball and Foster then homered, tying the game the Giants eventually won 3-2.
