Records should fall in Saturday's finals
By Alan Poland
Tomorrow will be the big day at the 41st Annual Kansas Relays. Providing the good change in the weather remains, a large crowd is expected to watch records crumble.
Most of the preliminaries for the university and college events will be held this afternoon. Saturday is the day of the finals. It will also be the day for the second half of the Decathlon, the 3000-Meter Steeplechase and the Glenn Cunningham One-Mile Run.
THE MILE RUN promises to be the big race of the Relays. The 1954 Relays was the last record year when a crowd of 16'000 watched Wes Santee run his 400.1 mile to set the existing Kansas Relays record and Memorial Stadium mark. This year a new record crowd is expected to be on hand to watch Santee's record broken.
KU freshman Jim Ryun with a career best of 3:55.3, leads the top contenders who will strive to break the record. Others in the field will be Robin Lingle, unattached, (career best of 4:00.3); Emporia State's Bob Camien (career best of 4:00.7); Jeff Duxbury, unattached, (career best of 4:04.5); and Jim Olsen, unattached, (career best of 4:06.5). Because of the top runners in the event, it is expected to be a race of strategy as well as speed.
IT IS probable that four other records will be broken—those of the high jump and the 440, two mile and distance medley relays.
Oklahoma's Fon Tull will attempt to break the Relays record of 6'-8 3'4" in the high jump. He recently cleared 7'11". Others in the event who have already jumped better than the record will be: Missouri's Steve Hernden (6'-10"). Oklahoma's Jim Johnson (6'-11"), and Lincoln University's Emanuel Belland (6'-10").
EPIGHAM YOUNG'S 440-relay team, with a best time of 40.8 seconds, has a good chance to break the Relays record of 40.7. Other top contenders in this event will be Oklahoma (41.1); Texas (41.3); Nebraska, with Charlie Green, (41.4) and KU (41.9).
Texas and Oklahoma State will be the top contenders in the Two-Mite Relay. The Relays record of 7:21.2 was set last year by an Oklahoma State team. Three of the members of that winning team will try again this year.
TO DATE. Texas has clocked a 7:27.2 and Oklahoma State a 7:27.3. The two teams took first and second places respectively at the Texas Relays this year.
John Lawson, KU distance runner, will be on the KU two-mile relay team.
THE RELAYS' university distance medley relay record 9:47.3
has been surpassed already this year by KU. They placed second at the Texas Relays with a time of 9:42.5. Kansas State (9:44.3) placed third and Oklahoma State (9:48.2) placed fifth at the Texas Relays.
Hylke Van Der Wal, veteran Canadian runner, will be going after his third straight gold medal in the 3,000 meter steeplechase. His best meet mark is 8:56.3, which he ran in the 1994 Relays.
FIVE pole vaulters, all of who have vaulted 15'-6"", will try for the Relays record of 16'-3/" Saturday. They are: Jim Bradshaw, Colorado State; Bill Nelson, Colorado State; Jim Farrell, Oklahoma; Mark King, Texas, and Fred Burton, Wichita State.
A Relays shot-put record of 65'-10 3/4" will be aimed at by Katera, Brigham Young (62'-11/2"), George Woods, Southern Illinois (62'-12"), Gene Crews, Missouri (60'-12") and Mike Bianco, Brigham Young (59'-11").
Janell Smith, two time winner of the Girls' 100-yd. dash, will run unattached and try to defend her record. Seven teams have entered the two girls' events that will be held Saturday—the 100-yd. dash and the 440-yd. relay.
