8 SPORTS Longer race a 'workout' for KU team By CHRIS LAZZARINO Sports Writer The Maupintour Fall Classic will be a change of pace — or more accurately, a change of distance — for the women's cross country team Saturday morning. University Daily Kansan, September 27, 1984 Page 14 Head coach Cliff Rovelo said the team was taking a different approach into this weekend's race. The women usually compete at 5,000 meters in cross country, but they will compete at 10,000 meters in the Maupintout race. "We are kind of approaching it as a workout." Rovello said. "We really worked hard this week. We put in a lot more miles than if we were running a normal cross country, but we are going to have fun." Rovello said that the runners who would most likely suit up for KU were Caryne Finlay, Paula Berquist and Tracey Keith. Susan Glatter, KU's top runner last weekend, might not compete because the long race is too hot to be good for her because she is still hampered by a stress fracture suffered last spring. Rovelto said that the team had done all of its running on soft surfaces. The only runner on the team that has experience in the 10,000-meter road race. Rovello said, is Finlay. He is a 22-mile practice run on Sunday. "Caryne runs quite a few 10,000-meter races but most of the rest of the girls have only run a few." "If you should be setting personal records," Keith said that she was looking forward to the 10,000-meter race. "I really will enjoy it," Keith said. "All of us girls are in really good shape at this point in the season and we can run some fast times for the Keith said that the race would favor her more than the 5,000 because in track she runs the 10,000. Men's head coach Bob Timmons' said that the men would jog the course today in preparation for Saturday's race. Conversely, there will be a lot of runners and there will be a lot of quality runners up front," Timmons said. "Each member of the team will have good competition at his level, whatever that may be." Brent Steiner might not run because of a slight stretch in his calf muscle and Achilles' tendon that he incurred in last weekend's race. Greg Leibert has not practiced with the team yet after being forced to drop out of last weekend's race with an Achilles' tendon injury. Thirteen hundred runners are expected to compete in the race. The race is sponsored by Maupintour Travel Service and the race operator is the Lawrence Track Club. The organizers of the race are Tom Leigh of Maupintour, Jim Pile of Maupintour, Lawrence Track Club and Dee Boeck, road race coordinator for the Lawrence Track Club. The race will begin at 8:30 a.m. in South Park and proceed around downtown, through campus and back to South Park. An of the runners will compete at the same time in the single race. The race is divided into four divisions, and divided into age and gender categories. The divisions are the open, masters, corporate and student. Pitch said that cross country teams from KU, Kansas State, and Haskell Indian Junior College are competing in the open division. Some of the other teams in the open division are the Tiger Racing Team, Corners Running Club, Kansas City Track Club and Lawrence Track Club. He said that this year's race was substantially larger than last year's, in which only 860 runners finished. 2406 IOWA 842-9983 HAVE YOU BEEN to the WHEEL LATELY?
