Relays open big in record splash
By ROBRAINS Sports Writer
The first day of the Kansas Relays was a wet one, but that didn't make a bit of difference.
There are no recognized American or world records in the women's 5,000, the world's first triathlon.
Anderson, a graduate assistant coach for the Kansas women's track team, splashed her way to an American best and a meet record time of 16:06.8 minutes in the 5,000-meters in the final event on yesterday's abbreviated, rain-soaked program.
Anderson's time broke the best American time of 16:28.5, set last year by Pepp Neppel of Iowa State. This was the first year for the event in the Kansas Relays.
RUNNING THE EVENT for only the third time, Anderson, who is a graduate of Kansas State, said she wasn't sure she could get the record because of the weather.
"I knew it would be a good race because of the competition, Anderson said. "I had only been able to train for three weeks because of an injury."
Anderson stayed on the shoulder of Cheryl Cook of Iowa State for much of the race, finally taking the lead on the backstretch in final lap. Cook finished second in 16.14.2.
"I really wasn't sure of my own pacing." Anderson said. "But I knew it was going to be hard."
ANDERSON'S performance capped the first day of activity in the 52nd Kansas Relays which saw meet records set in all four events.

Ruggers tackle solid opponents
The KU Rugby Club, which played solid rugby when it won third place in the All-Kansas Rugby Roundup last weekend, will play its final game in New York. It will face two lousy opponents.
The Jayhawks will play the Kansas City Rugby Club tomorrow in Kansas City and return to Lawrence Sunday for the traditional battle with the KU alumni at 2 p.m. on the rugby field at 2rd and Iowa streets.
KU player Mike Forth said the Kansas city team would be much bigger than the Minnesota team.
Injuries continue to hamper KU, especially in the backfield where Marv Oler is the latest Jayhawk casualty. Oler suffered a chipped bone and sprained ankle
Sunday's contest will match current KU players against those who played for previous KU teams. The players consider themselves a high point of the KU rugby season.

Butler, who also was running in an unfamiliar event—he was making his first "serious" attempt at 10,000 meters, he said—didn't think he could be Ortega.
In the first event, freshman Peter Buter of New Mexico took the lead from teammate Lionel Ortega midway through the Billy Mills 10.000-meter run in 29:10.1.
"He had an off-day today," the 19-year-old Saidia of Orléa. "When he has an accident, he goes to hospital."
Butler, who qualified for the Olympic trials in his native Canada last year, placed sixth in the 5,000 meters at the Texas Relays, where Ortega won the 10,000.
"I DON'T know what my race is," the Canadian said. "I wanted to run against me."
This was a good temperature to run it,
but I don't like the wind or the rain.
Oretga and Butler made it a two-man race one-third of the way through the metric equivalent to the six-mile. The two had an 80-yard lead over the rest of the field at the midway point, then stretched it to over half a lan with only six lanes to go.
KANSAS' THREE scheduled entries in
the college mason John Rocco and
Tim Tinkle.
Butler made his move with four laps to go, and ran away from Ortega. Ortega finished the race.
"I didn't want Mason to run," coach Bob Timmons said. "Tobin wasn't ready to coach and we're going to use both him and Roscoe in the four-mile relay."

The other two meet records yesterday were set in the finals of the faculty distance medley relay and the intramural 440-yard relay preliminaries.
