The 61st running of the Kansas Relays, one of Kansas' oldest and most tradition-filled sporting events, officially begins this morning with events in the men's decathlon and women's heptathlon. Track coaches are calling the field for this Hielas one of the most competitive ever as 49 collegiate teams will have competed by the end of the event on Sunday. Kansas Relays Relays manager Al Fereshetian painted to the pole vault, men's invitational 400-meter run and men's invitational 150-meter run as three of the most competitive events of the weekend. "I think the athletes we have coming in from all around the country are outstanding," Fereshetian said, "and a lot of them are on a roll. They're competing at their best right now." Top individual performers coming to the meet include 1984 Olympic women's gold medalist Nawal El Moupakaw, who will be competing unattached in either the 400-meter hurdles or 400-meter intermediate hurdles. Danny Harris, the Olympic silver medalist who finished behind Edwin Moses at Los Angeles in the 400-meter hurdles, will compete in the 400-meter open and invitational runs. Devon Morris of Wayland Baptist, ranked third in the world in the 400 meters, has the fastest time coming into that event at 45.24 seconds. "We also have Doug Lyle coming," Fereshetian said. "He was an Olympian in the pole vault. We're really excited that those outstanding in the pole vault, the meet's strongest event last year, nine competitors who have jumped over 18 feet will go head to head. athletes will be here and we think there will be some great competitors in the relay events as well." Fereshetian and other Relays organizers are especially happy that seven of the Big Eight conference schools will be at the meet. Colorado is the lone conference school that will not participate. "We're really pleased that we have those Big Eight schools in this year," said Bob Timmons, Kansas men's head coach and meet director. "We'll help bring the team back to the kind of strength it had years ago." Team participation is up over last year by about 33 percent from 32 to 49 collegiate teams.

However, because of an Achilles' tendon injury, she will miss the Kansas Relays, which start today. Terry Burkhardt/KANSAN Heptathletes learn to love sport By Dawn O'Malley Try it you'll like it That seems to be the motto for several heptathletes on the Kansas women's track team who compete in seven track and field events at the 61st Kansas Relays, which begins today. "You gotta love it and work the hardest when things are going tough," Rosie Wadman, junior heptathlete, said yesterday. "It's easy to continue when it's good." of it being Kansas." Wadman said she fell in love with Wadman three-and-a-half years after he baptism three-and-a-half years "I want to do the Relays because it's home and run on our own track," Wadman said. "It's just the thought However, Kansas will be without Wadman for the Relays. She will not participate in the Relays because of an Achilles' tendon strain she suffered last weekend at the John Jacobs Invitational in Oklahoma. Three Kansas women have entered the heptathlon: Jaci Tyma, Andrea Schwartz and Colene Richert. The first event of the heptathlon is the 100-meter hurdles at 10:30 a.m. Throughout today, the women will compete in the high jump, shot-put and 200-meter dash. Tomorrow's first event, the long jump, begins at 11:30 a.m., followed by the javelin and 800-meter run. A heapthelete often endures four hours or more of training Monday through Thursday. During workouts, the athletes vary their training schedules to train in a couple of events each day. Sunday is not a day of rest for them; usually the heaptheletes are lifting weights. The load is lightened a couple of days before a meet. "You work long hours because you love it," Cloff Rivelton, assistant women's track coach, said. "They want to be successful." Some may say it takes a special breed to be a heaptlete. "I don't think we are masochists." Wadman said. "You don't understand it unless you do it." Although the Kansas Relays are Richter's first collegiate heptathlon, she said she wasn't nervous because she had competed in heptathlons during the summers of her high school years. "I love being a heptathlete," said Richert, a freshman. "It tests everything, and there's a lot of variety." Richert had a heaptheatre had to be sacrificed to the events and have the design "It's pain and loving it is what it is about," Richert said. "You can't have any weaknesses or you can't compete." A heptathlete is usually a smart athlete because it takes mental and physical toughness to endure the competition, Rovello said.

Dodgers 1 Two coaches lobby for more support from athletic board Scott Perelman, head tennis coach, told the board that he hoped the tennis facilities could be improved so the tennis team could play more matches The support of tennis and volleyball, both non-revenue sports, could be improved, the coaches of those sports told a meeting of the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation Board yesterday. By Frank Ybarra Perelman said that since the Jayhawks did not have an indoor tennis court, they had to play many of their matches on the road, thus taking away a home-court advantage. at home and would have a better place to practice. "We're on the fringe of the top 20 to 25 teams in the country," Perelman said. "But we need more home games." Pere尔man also said KU's six tennis courts were not enough for the 24-player team. He said other teams in the Big Eight Conference had at least eight courts. Frankie Albiz, volleyball coach, told the board that she had to concentrate on recruiting in Kansas because her budget didn't often allow her to travel to recruit. She also said the volleyball team relied on raising some of its own money. Both coaches had been asked to speak to the board. Part of each KUAC meeting is reserved for two coaches to address the board. "I think any sport that is relying on the budget is in real problems," he said. Concern over the financing of nonrevenue sports at Kansas prompted the board to form a committee to study ways to better support those sports. On the reacundation of Ned Cushing, KUAC finance committee chairman, the board decided to form a committee this summer that would study all sources where revenue for non-revenue sports could be found. The idea for the non-revenue committee came after a report from the Athletic Equal Opportunity Committee suggested that the financial problem areas in the Athletic Department were not so much men vs. women's issue as they were a revenue vs. non-revenue sports issue. The equal opportunities committee was formed after a Title IX investigation by the Office of Civil Rights in March, 1982. Sports Briefs KU teams on road for intrastate games Both the Kansas baseball and softball teams will be in action today on the road in non-conference games. The baseball team, 20-23 overall and tied for fifth in the Big Eight at 4-8, travels to Wichita State for a 7 p.m. nine-inning game. The Shockers are 26-10. The softball team, ranked sixth in the nation with a 30-12 overall record and 5-3 conference mark, faces intramural rival Kansas State in non-conference double-header at St. Joseph, Mo. — the site of the 1986 Big Eight Tournament in early May. A 5-foot-8 forward, she averaged 16.2 points and 9.8 rebounds a game this past season. She was named an All-American of the National Junior College Athletic Association this past season also.

She was an all-state selection last season after leading Civic Memorial to a second-place finish in its region and a 22-3 overall record. Brazier also holds the school record for most strikeouts in a game (17) and pitched four perfect games last summer.
