Women's harrier crew might be fleetest ever
KU's women's cross country team this year should be the strongest it has ever been, coach Teri Anderson said recently.
"We'll have to see how the team shapes up after practice begins, but it looks like one of the best we've ever had," she said.
and we are here now. So she said.
In addition to returning letterman, the team has acquired a group of promising recruits.
"All of the other recruits are very good runners who have run the 880 well," Anderson said.
One recruit, Tracey Wong, Ren, Nov,
freshman, was fourth in this year's
National Olympic in the 1,500-
metre run with a time of 4:43.
Two other recruits—Susan Phillips, Collegeville, Pa., freeman, and Kelly Hitta, a transfer student from Lincoln, Neb. —have run the two mile in 10:58.
RUNNING CROSS country not on 10, strengthens endurance for running the 800 in the indoor or outdoor track season, she said, but knowing how to run the 800 well allows her to cross country and cross country runs. Some runners, however, only run cross country in the fall.
The length of a cross country course varies, Anderson said, but it is usually 5,000 meters or about three miles.
to stay in shape for the spring track season.
Some of those who have run the course on the women's cross country team are ranked in the top 10. Was KU's top runner last year, Vick Simpson, Maurice Pauconin, Lloydousse McDonald and Brady Phelan?
"Iowa State and Kansas State will be our toughest competition this year," she said. "We have an Eight Conference, accord the Region VI championship and 14th out of 23 teams in the nation."
ALSO RETURNING are Deb Hertzqt, Denise Homa and Marianne McCowen. Others lying for a position on the team are Pam Scharbath, Lori Lowey, Darci Mikesch, Tammy Gwim, Cindy Deming, Daniel Greichen, Grechen Bagma and Jurve Rutte.
With the addition of the recruits, Anderson said, the team should be one of the top contenders in the Big Eight.
