Ryun set to test injured leg
When Jim Ryun lines up Saturday afternoon for the Glenn Cunningham 1500 meter run at the Kansas Relays, he'll be giving the torn hamstring muscle in his left leg a test.
Ryun will be making his first appearance since the NCAA Indoor Championship meet more than a month ago.
The world-record miler said that during the last two weeks he had been doing a lot of distance running, but not much speed work.
Ryun, who tore his hamstring muscle in practice March 26, does not want to re-injure his leg, but still hopes to do well in the race Saturday.
After a "routine" checkup Wednesday in Topeka with Dr. G. Bernard Joyce, an orthopedic specialist, Ryun said, "the doctor thought everything would probably be fine" with his leg.
"I think my leg's pretty much all healed up," Ryan said, "but it'll take time for it to develop back to its normal running condition."
He said he couldn't predict his time for the race, but will do the best he can.
Bob Timmons, head track coach,
said "He'll do all right in the
meet. I'm just going to leave it up
to Jin and how he feels. There'll
be no pressure on him at it."
"However, I don't want him to
push too hard now which might cause him to re-injure his ham-string." Timmons said.
The coach doesn't anticipate problems with Ryun's leg because he said in a 1500 meter the runner doesn't need to accelerate as much as in a shorter sprint.
"We haven't discussed times at all." Timmons said.
Track experts usually figure a four-minute miler will run 1500 meters about 17 seconds faster than he runs a mile. Thus, if Ryun runs 3:40 for example Saturday, it would be the rough equivalent of a 3:57 mile.
Hicks 'great' in practice
Several players on KU's football team turned in exceptional performances during spring practice Wednesday.
A mile is about 120 yards longer than 1500 meters.
Rodgers also singled out linebacker Mickey Doyle, Kansas City junior, tight end John Mosier, Wichita sophomore, and John Zook, Larned junior, saying they worked exceptionally hard.
"I can't say anything except that Hicks was great," said KU football coach Pepper Rodgers of Emery Hicks, a 220 pound sophomore linebacker and defensive guard from Nowata, Okla.
Hicks led the defensive unit in scrimage with hard, decisive tackling and hustle.
Steve Lawson, Chicago freshman, suffered a shoulder injury during practice but it is not known how serious it is. Rodgers expects Lawson to be back soon.
The squad will wind up its first week of spring practice with a 9 a.m. drill Saturday.
As a freshman he ran a time of 3:55.8 in the Kansas Relays. Last year he broke through the tape at a time of 3:54.7.
