Very few spectators got to see one of the most outstanding women competitors at the Kansas Relays this weekend.

One reason was that Kathy Devine of Emporia State University didn't even have to enter Memorial Stadium to compete. The sophomore from San Diego played in the stadium gates, winning the blue-paned goals, and placing second in the javelin.

Devine was the only woman to win two individual events, and she came within a foot of winning three.
"I would have liked to have won three," Devine said, "but sometimes it just doesn't work that way. It didn't work out for me this time."
ALTHOUGH SHE went through the Relays unnoticed by fans, her competitors couldn't help notice her
the opponent has not met Since the team hasn't tested in the shot or the discus, and she came to the RELAY as the defending champion and record holder in the shot. She also is the defending AIAW national shot-pup奖励.
Although she didn't set any records this time, she won the shot with a 49.9% effort and the discus with a test of 183.4. Her second place throw in the javelin was 130.8.
She was well below her personal bests in each event [34] in the shot, 152-9 in the discus and 140-10 in the javelin, and she wasn't happy with her performance.
"I was disappointed with myself," she said. "I just got a little excited because this is a big meet, and they might have in-
tueanced my performance. I would have liked to hit over 50 feet in the shot, but it just didn't go."
DEVINE'S MAIN problem came Friday morning when the discus and javelin were run one after the other at different locations.
She said that when she finished the discute outside the stadium she had to run over by Allen Field House for the involin.
I had to take my last three discuss
things all in a row so I would make it.
"They were all waiting for me over there, and I know that I don't like to wait for anyone during an event. It was really frustrating. The probable should have not wrapped my hand."
Devine said that she wasn't throwing as well as she did when she was a freshman, and that it was probably because she didn't train last fall.
The shot-put is Devine's strongest event, but she has set goals for herself in all three events.
"THIS YEAR I'd like to exceed what I did last year in the shot, "Devine said. "I'd like to get it up over 54 feet."
"I need to improve myself a lot in the discus and javelin. In the discus I'd like to hit 155 or 160."
After she had won the shot-plot Saturday morning, Devine hurried to Kansas City, Mo., to catch a plane for her boyfriend, where she drew the shot-50.
"I cut it really close," she said. "I almost missed my plane."
One plane she will be sure not miss is the one that will take her to Los Angeles in May when she will try to defend her AIW national title.

blazed the final quarter mile in 54.98—her best time ever—to pull KU ahead of Wichita State and just behind third place New Mexico.
IOWA STATE won the mile relay for the second straight year, finishing with a time of 3.47.5. The Cyclone fourseam came on the field first and the peloton the belays mark that they had set last year.
Debbie Esser, who anchored the Cyclone's mile relays, also won the 100-meter hurdles, easily beating Missouri's Doris Piekliakn.
Bunita Bassa of KU failed to qualify for the finals in the hurdles as she finished third in her heat, which included both Esser and Piekleniak.
EMPORIA STATE University Kathy Demporia, an assistant professor understanding performances in the Infield.
Devine won both the shot-put and theACC, and she was second to Iowa State's Khalil Wattley.
Devine throw the shot 49-9% on her first attempt, and although she missed the Relays record that she established last year, she outdistanced second place Christy Tumberger of Kansas State by nearly five feet.
Devine won the discus with a loss of 145 of five feet better than Lucy Neelman of Texas Women's University, and her second place throw in the laevin was 130-3.
THERE WERE several outstanding performances in the women's events

KU's Michelle Brown was running with Kutter and Kundsen in the 1,500, and the Jets beat the Rams 36-27.
"I'm REALLY pleased," Krudson said following the race. "I feel strong and smooth for this early in the season. I usually run from the lead and don't think about the people behind me, but Vetter was really pushing me today."
Brown, who had never run under 4.00 in the event, did it Friday, staying with the team for another day.
Debbie Vetter of Iowa State established a record in the 1,400-meter. She had a 4:04.4 km/h speed.
Colorado State's Wendy Knudson, the premier college runner in the 800-meters, finished fourth in the 1,500, but in the 800, she led from the start to wint it for the second time.

If you see Jay Reason or Tad Scales walking across campus today, ask them what time it is. They'll be more than happy to tell you.
Reardon and Scales are the owners of brand-new wristwatches today, awarded to them for their victories in last weekend's Kansas Relays.
For Scales, the trip to the awards stand brought back pleasant memories. Four years ago, as a junior at Lawrence High, Scales won the high school pole vault.
Scales won the university-college-junior college division of the pole vault Friday, clearing 16.4. Reardon came up with a windable ramp and the long jump on his third attempt Saturday.
FOR REARDON, he was his first Kansas belays victory. But the freshman hopes that they can be even more successful.
On Friday, Reardon had failed to qualify for the finals in both the triple jump and the long jump.
Saturday, Reardon blocked those disappointments out of his mind and, performing

Kerschen saves KU; 'Hawks split twinbills
Sports Writer
A forgiven University of Kansas pitcher, Kevin Kerschen, provided some needed relief yesterday, as Kansas split a doubleheader with the University of Nebraska, winning the first game, 10-9, and losing the nightcap, 15-5.
The Hawks also split a doubleheader with the Cornhuskers Saturday, winning 6-4, and the Brewers Sunday, losing 3-2.

Kerschen, who had pitched only five innings since the Jayhawks spring trip to Texas, did something most Jayhawk pitcher fails to do this weekend—getting Nebraska hitters out.
KU baseball coach Floyd Temple said Kerschen's five inning relief performance was KU's only strong pitching in the four game series.
Kerschen held Nebraska to three singles in the last five innings, giving the Jayhwaks the opportunity to win the game in extra innings.
Kerschen, 1-2, entered yesterday's first game in the fifth inned with the score, 9-9. Before his relief, pitchers Terry Sutur and Greg Thurman had given up a balk.
Kerschen said the victory felt good after pitching so little lately.
"I needed this one." Kerschen said. "I
moved the ball around and kept their hitters off stride. Nebraska is a good team,队.
After the dramatic finish in game one yesterday, Nebraska's hitting got untracked again. The Cornhuskers, 20-10, knocked out starter Clay Christensen, scoring three in the first half and Rick Bedy finished for the Jayhawks, but also were hit hard. Nebraska had 13 hits in the game and 51 in the联赛.
KU's hitting highlights in game two included back-to-back home runs in the fifth inning.
On Saturday, Rhodes, 2-2, was hit for seven runs on 12 hits in the open, as the Jayhawks lost 7-1. Nebraska leftfender Mann, 3-2, threw a five-litter at Kansas.
In the second game, Nebraska got 10 hits off winner Dave Rusch, and Rusch had to pitch out of two bases-loaded jams in the first half to obtain his fifth win against two losses.
one score was 3-2 in the bottom of the fiftt
inning and Kansas unloaded some power
battery.
Ron MacDonald led off, hitting a home run to straight-away center field. One out later, Andy Gilmore blasted a shot over the right centerfield fence to make the score 5-4 in the second half and an error by Jeff King, NU second baseman, gave the Hawks their six-run.
