Coleman says he's through 'jiving'
By ROB RAINS Sports Writer
Anthony Coleman would be the first person to admit that he was having trouble during the latter part of the indoor track season.
Trouble is an understatement.
Coleman, who as a freshman last year
won the Big Eight Outdoor title in the 110-meter hurdles, failed to finish among the leaders in either of the two hurdles races at this year's Big Eight Indoor Championship.
Two weeks before the Big Eight Indoor, Coleman, running in the 80-yard high hurdles at the United States Track and Field Federation Indoor Championships in
Oklahoma City, hit the second hurdle and failed to finish the race.
COLEMAN, Dallas, Tex., sophomore, was having problems. The basis for most of his troubles, he said yesterday, was the quick start he had in the indoor season.
Staff no.
Anthony Coleman: trouble wasn't the word
In only his second meet this year, the Sooner Relys on Jan. 21, Celeman broke the KU and meet record in the high hurdles by running a 7.07.
He's been going down hill ever since.

THE MAJOR problem which confronted Coleman during his freshman year was consistency. He thinks he has that diagnosed.
"Last year," he said, "I think the inconsistency was mainly because of a lack of experience. It was getting to know pressure and running under pressure.
"The other thing was due to a lack of rest and not eating the proper food. I was behind in some of my classes and I was staying up late studying."
"This year, I really can't say. I think it's two things mainly. When you run a fast time real early in the year, if the times don't get any faster, there's on one way you can go.

COLEMAN, WHO at 6'3" is one of the tallest stinders in the conference, also runs on the 440 and 880 relay teams. He said that he enjoyed running the relays, and was looking forward to going back to his home Texas for Texas on this weekend's Texas Relays.
Coleman is serious about regaining the form which allowed him to establish himself as one of the top hurdles in the Big Eight competition last year. He knows it won't be easy.
"I'm going to give myself two more meets to make the adjustment from indoors," he said. "I think I'll be okay by the Arkansas State Invitational or the KU Relays."
Coleman didn't start running track until his junior year in high school and didn't run the hurdles until his senior year. He suffered a pulled hamstring muscle in his right leg during his senior year which still affects his running.
Coleman also knows what he wants to do outdoors. He wants to win an NCAA championship.
"I dream about winning the NCAA," he said.

"I don't plan for this bad streak to happen to me anymore. I want to run well outdoors, I don't really have anything to prove to anybody except myself.
He refused to put any of the blame for his inconsistency on the injury, however.
PATTY MURPHY'S CASE WORSE!
"I'm through jiving around."
that's all behind him now. He's looking forward to outdoor competition.
“This year I'm going to and approach it at a different angle,” he said. “I'm going to gradually down come instead of going for a great time all at once.

"The reason why I'm scared to go all out is that I peak too soon."
Upon learning last night that he was about to be transferred to the Billy Carter Institute for Terminal Alcoholics, Patty Murphy attempted an escape from the hospital where he was being treated. Murphy, conscious for the first time, attempted unsuccessfully to bolt from the alcoholics ward where he was being held. Witnesses said he came to his senses after being slipped an ounce and a half of Rubbing Alcohol A concussion resulted when he slipped on a bed pan.

Familiar faces slated for Relays
The invitational pole vault and 400 meters events are almost filled, according to assistant track coach Gary Pepin, director of the invitational events for the Relays.
There will be some familiar names among participants at this year's Relay.
Entered in the pole vault are three jumpers who have cleared 18 feet. All the other jumpers have gone over 17 feet. Those who have indicated they will be at KU for the Relays April 21-23 are Eagle Arkansas State, Terry Jessie Kansas Texas, Jesse James of the Mohave Track Club, Jim Johnson of Oklahoma and KU's Tad Scales.
IN THE field for the 400, which is shaping up as one of the best events in this year's Relaies, are Mike Solomon of New Mexico, Robert G. Sidderson and Maurice Pebbles of the D.C. Sdriders.
Robert Taylor of the Philadelphia Pioneers, who ran the seventh fastest 400 in
the world last year, Evis Jennings of Mississippi State, who holds the Relays record in the event, set last year at 48.33 in KUY's KUJ Wagner are the other entries.
Two standouts who have indicated they will run in the 100 meters are Ed Trewston of Newcastle and Ben Mackenzie of Auckland.
THREE ATLETTES have been lined up for the Glenn Cunningham Mile Run. They are Mike Holt of Alabama, Mike Slack of the Chicago Fire and Steve Stocker of the Florida Track Club.
Bill Lindberg, another ex-Kansas runner,
will run the mile or the 3,000 meter race.
One of the familiar sights of recent Pelias won't be here this year, Pelias said. Rick Wholzhater of the Chicago Track Club, who won the 1,500 meter run last year, will fly around the track and won't start outdoor competition until the Drake Relays the last weekend in April.
