Kansas hurdlers tie NCAA mark
By Steve Morgan Kansan Sports Editor
Des Moines, Iowa — Kansas' shuttle hurdle relay team tied the pending NCAA record in that event to grab the spotlight in a good final day at the Drake Re-lays Saturday. Five records fell and another was tied in the 59th running of the track classic.
Another record, perhaps the best liked by the capacity crowd of 18,000 at Drake Stadium, was set by the weather. For the first time in eight years the two-day track carnival was completed under sunny skies without a drop of rain falling.
For the Jayhawks the relays were a combination of elation and disappointment. Along with the shuttle hurde victory, KU grabbed the two-mile and distance medley relay crowns and took a second in the 880 in school record time of 1:23.9.
Unfortunately these were the only relays in which Kansas was able to compete. The Jayhawks withdrew from the four-mile and one-mile relays on Friday because of team injuries. On Saturday afternoon, Jim Ryun, tired from his mile anchor leg on the distance medley earlier that afternoon and two half-miles on
Friday, told coach Bob Timmons he didn't feel like running another half-mile. Ryun was to have anchored the sprint medley relay.
"I found out Jim didn't want to run about 30 minutes before the race and the only other boy I could put in on the anchor was Mark Ferrell. But Mark hadn't expected to run and was in street clothes and he couldn't have gotten ready in time." Timmons said
In the meet's other relay, the 440, Kansas had run the fastest qualifying time on Friday, only to be disqualified for running out of its lane.

The University of Kansas hosted the Big Eight rifle match Saturday and Sunday in the Military Science Building.
KU rifle team places fourth
All Big Eight schools were represented by mixed teams.
KU, after placing eighth last year, took fourth this year, scoring 2,652 points out of a possible 3,000.
Oklahoma State captured first with Nebraska and Colorado taking second and third respectively.
High scorer for KU was Rick Daley, St. Louis junior, with 545. Sue Snowden, Atchison sophomore, was second with 543. This is her career high, the highest score of any woman in the match and the best score ever fired by a woman rifleman from KU.
Trophies were awarded to the top three teams, the top scorers in the three positions, prone, kneeling and standing and also to the top three high scorers.
Shooting 22-caliber small bore gallery rifles, each rifleman shot
from the three positions at targets 50 feet away. Two targets were fired at from each position. All teams were given 100 minutes to complete a match.
Final team results:
Oklahoma State 2755
Nebraska 2710
Colorado 2665
KU 2652
Kansas State 2649
Iowa State 2629
Missouri 2617
Oklahoma 2585
