Ryun anchors Jayhawk records
Bu DON STEFFENS
Jim Ryun anchored the Jayhawks to a world record at the Drake Relays last weekend, winning the distance medley relay by closing a gap of more than 40 yards in the four-mile event to turn seeming defeat into a hard-to-believe victory.
He grabbed the baton in the Saturday medley race a step ahead of Georgetown's Robert Zieminski, raced through a 56-second first quarter, holding Zieminski at bay through three laps.
As the gun sounded for the last lap, Ryun jetted ahead leaving Zieminski in his wake.
The clock read 9:33.8,bettering the old standard of 9:34.0 set by UCLA in 1965.
JUNIOR CURT Grindal opened with a half-mile time of 1:52.6 and was among the front five as he handed the baton to quarter-miler Dwight Peck. Peck passed everyone and awarded number three man Tom Yergovich a small lead.
But Yergy charged around K-State's Wes Dutton, one of the nation's best, during the third lap and was leading as he handed off to Ryun after a 2:59.8 clocking in the three-quarter mile leg.
Ryun's is believed to be the fastest mile ever run on a relay leg and marked the first time an athlete has beaten four minutes on successive days.
On Friday Ryun performed a come-from-behind anchor leg in the four-mile relay. He took the baton about 40 yards behind K-
8th inning bunt beats Colorado
A two-run surge in the eighth inning Saturday enabled KU to defeat Colorado, 3-2, and complete a three-game sweep of the weekend Big Eight series.
A suicide squeeze bunt by relief pitcher Bill Maddux brought Junior Riggins home from third base with what proved to be the winning tally for the Jayhawks in the bottom of the eighth inning.
KU scored its first run of the inning on a single by Sandy Buda, a successful infield bunt by Riggins, and a throwing error by Colorado hurler Dan Ruth on Gary Ascanio's ground ball, which brought Randy Stroup, running for Buda, home from second.
The Buffalos took a 1-0 lead in the third inning on three walks and a sacrifice fly, but KU tied it up in the fourth when second baseman Bob Evilsizer walked with the bases full.
RICHARD SLICKER started the game for the Jayhawks allowing the Buffaloes only four safeties in the seven innings which he worked. Maddux came on in relief of Slicker in the eighth and hurled two hitless innings in picking up his second victory of the campaign.
KU captured twin 1-0 triumphs over Colorado in a doubleheader Friday.
Roger Jackson went the distance for the Jayhawks in the opener that lasted 10 innings. The KU sophomore limited the Buffalos to just two hits in the contest.
The weekend sweep gives KU a 5-6 mark in Big Eight competition and 10-9 overall, while Colorado, held to nine hits and two runs, while committing six errors in the three-game series, now stands at 4-8 in the league and 7-13 for the season.

State's Conrad Nightingale, a 4:00.9 mile.
RYUN LAID back for three laps, but when the gun sounded, he set out after Nightingale, gaining ground with every stride down the backstretch.
Nightingale seemed assured of victory with 100 yards left, but Ryun was still picking up speed, but the powerful-striding sophomore overtook him with 30 yards left, finishing with a 27.4 in the last 220.
Ryun's 3.59.8 gave Kansas a total of 16:43.0.
