LINOLN, Neb—A little contact between athletes running the tight turns on indoor tracks is expected, but Glenn Harter wasn't justugged in the finals of the 1,000-yard run this past weekend. He was thrown flat on his face.
Harter, who was competing in the Big Eight Indoor Championships, was completing the first turn on the gun lap right on the heels of Oklahoma's Randy Wilson when he was tripped up and thrown to the track spraining his right ankle. Harter was sprawled face down on the Nebraska Sports team after a broken arm was carried away for X rays to determine whether he had rebroken an ankle that had reconstructive surgery last June.
MEET OFFICIAL Bill Thierstein was stationed at the turn where Harter's bid to overtake Wilson and qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships collapsed.
Thierain denied seeing any infraction,
because several fans, athletes and coaches
were present.
The stories varied some as to why Harter initially lost his balance, but they all said that Missouri's Scott Clark pulled down the stumbling Harter from behind and ran over
"Harter's legs were out of control. He spiked me." Clark said in defense, pointing to a puncture wound on his left thigh. "I was hit twice and the second failed and moved him out of my way."

DAN LAVITT, a teammate of Clark's who was standing along side the track on the infield and the first one to reach the fallen Harter, said, "He was falling before Clark hit him. He hit him to get him out of the way."
Harter, who sat in a gray folding chair leaning on his crutches and examining X rays of his ankle, said, "It doesn't matter if he doesn't even matter that I was recovering."
He said Clark had to go around him and that he was still in front.
Clark said Reckmeyer told him after the race that he was Wilson trip up Harber.
Harter said he was tripped up by Nebraska's Mattrecknever,
After being told that Clark had been spiked, Harter said, "From me!" Good. He had to run over the top of me to get spiked.
"I think Wilson might have hit Harter," Reckmeyer said, "but I just remember having to slow down to negotiate around it okay."
"He tapped me a couple times on my left ankle going through the turn. It's easy enough to tap each other running like that—you can see it in his hands pulling me down, I can't understand that.
HARTER, WHOSE best time this season in the 1,000 is 2:10:7, just two-tenths of a second short of qualifying for the NCAA that year, had no right to win it three years in a row. He was wounded it. It was the best race of my life, or at least it was going to be.
"I should've gotten仑顿ed today. I would have, too, if it wasn't for a bit of a trip
"He's just a freshman and doesn't know what's on out here."
Wilson won the event in 2:09.89 on
A fan sitting with the Oklahoma State team directly across from the official who ruled Harter was not fouled, was outraged, but he wasn't. The MU guy was losing his balance when the MU guy started losing his. The MU guy reached out and put his hand on the other guy's shoulder. He grabbed him and yanked him down probably when he tried to steady
Nebraska's fast track. Reckmeyer finished second and Clark third.
HE ALSO denied making any contact with Harter, saying, "I didn't hit any feet or anybody." He said from what his trainer told him. Clark harted Harter from behind.
Wilson, who had only one finger (Reckmeyer's pointing at him after winning the 1,000 indoor title for the third consecutive year, said, "I know Glenn, and I hit maybe twenty yards earlier on the turn because we were three acreast in that lane going into
Kansas City at Kemper Arena, participating Sears outlets and the Convention Bureau. Prices for the tickets are: $5.30,
$6.35 and $7.40.
KU's other entry in the event, Rick Emss, who has qualified for the NCAA meet, hurried his fallen teammate and fell behind to a sixth-place finish. It was one of only three games in which team failed to score, on the way to its eight conference title in 12 years.
Big 8 tickets sold out
