The Northern C a lifo rn ia Running Review is published on a monthly basis by the West V a lle y Track Club. I t is a communica­ tio n medium f o r a l l Northern C a lifo rn ia track & f i e l d a th le te s , and i t covers age group, high school, c o lle g ia t e , sen ior, AAU, and women's even ts. The NCRR is a v a ila b le at many road races and track meets throughout the area fo r 25 % an issue, or f o r $3.^0 a year f o r mailed subscription (u s u a lly th ird class unless i t is an unusually th in is s u e ...th e n we m ail f i r s t c la s s ). A l l West V a l­ le y TC members re c e iv e th e ir copies fr e e by m ail i f th e ir dues are paid up fo r the y e a r .

This paper's success depends on you, the readers, so please send us any p ertin en t inform ation on the NorCal running scene that you would lik e to see in p r in t . This month we had a great number o f contributors but i t was disappointing to see the very poor response we had from coaches fo r scheduling. We sent out over 100 fr e e August issues w ith requests fo r cross country meet inform ation and had only about a 10% response. We can always use good photos fo r our p u b lic a tio n . They should be good contrast and p r e f e r a b l y black and w h ite . A l l inform ation should be sent to the e d ito r , NorCal Running Review, P.O. Box 1551, San Mateo, CA 9^401 (Ph. 415-3^2- 3 l 8 l ) . Be sure and g ive photo c r e d its , those competing, and the event being run. Any s iz e p rin t w i l l do, but please d on 't send the negative i f p o s s ib le . We w i l l return the p rin ts afterwards i f you want us t o .

WHEN YOU MOVE------Please send us your address change immediate­ l y . The NCRR is not--- forwardable usually as i t is th ird c la s s .

Many o f our subscribers have not been g e ttin g th e ir issues because o f th is m istake.

ON MAILING You probably noticed la s t time that your NCRR came f i r s t c la s s , even though we said i t would come th ird c la s s ! !

I t was a rare occurrence. The paper our p rin te r used ju st happened t o be su p e r-lig h t and we passed 7 sheets f o r under an ounce. Usu­ a l l y we can only get 6 sheets fo r an ounce. We s h a ll continue to m ail f i r s t class when p ossib le in the future when weight allows us to do so. L igh t paper is not always a v a ila b le and i t is much more d i f f i c u l t to run through our p r in te r 's equipment. *

WEST VALLEY TC: The month o f August was a b it slow as the club on­ l y gathered in f i v e new b odies, but a l l o f them are already e x c e l­ le n t a th le te s or show great p o te n tia l. Dan Anderson, who used to run fo r the now defunct V a lle y TC, m erely added a "West" in fro n t o f his a f f i l i a t i o n . Dan is 20 and liv e s at 18828 C a lifo rn ia S t ., Castro V a lle y , CA 94546 (Ph. 5S2 - 6581 ) . He has best marks o f: Mi 4:29.9, 2 Mi - 9:35.8, 3 Mi - 14:43.9, 10 Km - 31:55.8. J e ff A r ­ nold now becomes one o f our most promising young marathoners o f f his th ird place 2:36:26 in the super-tough Ocean-to-Bay race. J e ff ran his f i r s t marathon there and was l6 at the tim e . He cu rren tly resid es at 304l Deakin, B erkeley, 94705 (Ph. 845-6701). With a two m ile time o f 9:51 th is past sprin g, he is good on the track in ad d ition to the roads. John Dean liv e s at 15783 Via Sorrento, San Lorenzo, 94580 (Ph. 351-3572) and is 18 years o ld . With bests o f 4:39 in the m ile and 10:02 fo r tw ice that fa r , John has shown that he w i l l continue to improve. Skip Houk is one o f Northern C a lifo r ­ n ia 's (a c tu a lly R eno's) veteran distance runners at the young and tender age o f 30. His current address is 1345 Stardust, Apt. 3 in Reno 89503 (Ph. 702-747-5379). With track bests o f 4 :l8 , 9:00 and 14:09, 29:30, he has shown more promise in the u ltra -d is ta n c e s .

He has run 5:15 fo r 50 m iles and was la s t y e a r's AAU Champ at that distance in 5:19. His 2:22:05 marathon best was set some 4 years ago, but he placed in the top 10 at the Olympic T r ia ls in July.

A bunch o f WVTC a th le te s have already been in Europe th is summer and more w i l l fo llo w . So f a r , Bob Crow, Duncan Macdonald, Don Kardong, Esteban V a lle , Wayne Glusker, Jim Dare, A lvaro M ejia, Hernan Barreneche, V ic to r Mora, Bob Brunkan, and Domingo Tibadu­ iz a have a l l been. Maybe more that I d on 't know about or fo rg o t to mention. The four Colombians and V a lle were p a rtic ip a tin g in the Olympic Games, V a lle f o r Nicaragua in the walks.

J oel Jameson reports th at h e ' l l be attending Occidental C ol­ le g e th is f a l l (as a freshman). They w i l l have a p r e tty good team w ith fou r frosh around 9:20, including h im self. He spent much o f the summer in Torreon, Mexico.

Skip Houk has managed to gain fin a n c ia l support from unknown sources in Reno and w i l l be tr a v e lin g to the London-Brighton Race on Oct. 1, represen ting the U.S.A. and West V a lle y TC. Your P res­ id en t is planning to be on hand to help with "waterboy" d u ties.

He hopes to average 6 minutes a m ile and says, "I'm going over there t o w in ." Best o f luck Skipper. Chris Moore, whose mother and step fa th er l iv e near London, w i l l a ls o be there to help Skip out. Chris is a 1:52 h a lf-m ile r who runs f o r the club. Last year the race was won in 5:21 by David L evick o f South A fr ic a . That is the record .

Rumors have i t , although not confirmed, that Rich Joyce, our clu b 's ace h a lf-m ile r who s t i l l holds the prep 880 record ( a l ­ though Dale Scott ran a prep best at the Kennedy Games in non-prep c om p etition ), w i l l move to A u s tra lia f o r a year or more. He w i l l teach P.E. and b io lo g y at the secondary le v e l th ere . Jim Hunt at A rca ta 's Humboldt State w i l l miss the help Rich has given him in coaching the middle distance men up th e re . He has injured his fo o t e a r l i e r in the year and is s t i l l bothered by i t . L o t's o f luck in A u s tra lia , Rich. Let us hear from you. Your new address?

Don Kardong, now liv in g f a i r l y permanently in S e a ttle ( w i l l be attending grad school th ere he t e l l s u s), has decided to run unattached and w i l l probably jo in a club in his area. L o t 's o f luck to "Large Don", who rewrote many o f the c lu b 's distance run­ ning records during the past yea r. He should go on to gre a te r achievements in the future y e a rs .

Mike Ryan, our Tennessee fo o th o ld , has been g e ttin g r e a lly a raw deal from the A ir F orce. He had applied fo r an e a r ly out, e f f e c t i v e July l4 th , and i t had been approved. He was planning on going to UOP law school in Stockton, they (he and his w ife Amey) had alread y packed and Amey had qu it her job , when he got a c a ll from personnel. They proceeded to t e l l him that the orders had been c a n celled . A fte r a h e ll o f a lo t o f checking around, he found out th at a congressman from Louisiana and Chairman o f the House Armed Services Committee, had found out about A ir Force Aca­ demy graduates g e ttin g out e a r ly , and he raised h e ll w ith the Se­ c re ta ry o f the A ir F o rce . The re s u lt was that about 71 guys who had been given permission f o r an e a r ly separation were suddenly screwed to the w a ll. The r e a lly bad th ing is that no firm d e c i­ sion has been made about le t t in g them out or keeping them in . So Mike may w e ll have to w ait awhile u n til a l l the p o lit ic s get ironed ou t. Meanwhile, they s u ffe r .

A way to get $$$ fo r the N a tio n a ls : The newly opened A th le ­ t i c Dept, in Berkeley (2114 Addison, Ph. 843-7767) has made a r e a lly s p e c ia l e f f o r t to help West V a lle y TC in i t s attempt to send a team to Chicago in November to t r y to win the AAU Cross Country Championships. Anyone (in clu d in g non-club members) who makes a shoe purchase from th e ir store w i l l au tom atically ensure a $1.00 con trib u tion to our t r a v e l fund. Just mention th at you read about the A th le tic Dept. through the Northern C a lifo rn ia Run­ ning R evie w ...b e sure and do th is . Encourage your frie n d s to shop there to o . We can r e a lly use that $$$.

T ra ve l to Chicago: Our treasu ry now stands at about $300... not one heck o f a lo t to t r y and send a f u l l team to the N ationals o n !I Income is slow and chances o f us going fr e e (a t the clu b 's expense) are p r e tty dismal. Anyone wanting to donate to our cause should m ail i t to our P.O. Box. Everything helps. One way you can help out is to s e l l NCRR su b scrip tion s. Approach your team­ mates i f you 're going to high school or c o lle g e . I w i l l be d r i­ v in g my "magic bus" to Chicago about 6 days b efore the Nationals f o r anyone th at wants tb come partway (o r a l l the w ay). Costs can be cut some by fly in g only part o f the distance or one-way coming back. I w i l l be attending the AAU Convention in Kansas C ity f o l ­ lowing the Nationals and so w on't be coming back fo r about a week afterw ards. I should return to the Bay Area from my European t r a ­ v e ls on Nov. 13-14. Get in touch i f you 're in te re s te d . The AAU Meet is on Nov. 25 th is yea r. T h a t's a Saturday.

New jerseys are in : Yes, the fancy (nylon-mesh) jerseys are in and have been silk -sc re en e d . They are being mailed out to those th at have alread y paid th e ir $4.00.

Jost Schmitt w i l l be moving back to Germany in d e fin it e ly , but hopes to return to the Bay Area in a year or two. He has been busy doing his th esis at Cal th is past yea r. J ost, fo r those that haven't met him, is one o f our sp rin t corps. L o t 's o f luck in Ger­ many, Jost.

He w i l l be attending Nevada th is f a l l and should r e a lly help out the club at Chicago. He was going to run in the 5000 as w e ll, but the Colombian Olympic Committee made a b ig boo-boo and d id n 't even bother to sign him up f o r the race b e fo re ­ hand!!

He recorded an 8 :l8 f o r 3000m at high a ltitu d e (6200 f e e t ) Lake Tahoe (Tibaduiza was 8:30 in the same r a c e ). Then in a meet at Munich he did 7:59*4 fo r a PR (e q u iva len t to about an 8:35 two m ile ).

Jim Dare ran a r a r e ly contested 2000 meters in about 5:09 in Europe on a te le v is e d meet. C an't remember which meet th is was, but Jim la id back fo r 3 lap s, then led f o r about 600 meters b efore g e ttin g out kicked by Benson, Howe, and a couple o f oth ers. The winning time was around 5 : 06 .

NCRR LONG DISTANCE POINT RACE This y e a r's NCRR point race w i l l o f f e r two perpetual trophies fo r the winners in the open and senior d iv is io n s . The winners o f the past two years w i l l have th e ir names and point to ta ls engraved on the trop h ies as w e ll. For the u n in itia te d , here is b a s ic a lly <how our point system works. I t is based on not only the number o f races run, but a lso on average p la c in g . To fig u re out your own t o ­ t a l , m erely take your average p lacin g and d iv id e i t by the number o f races run. As an example, i f you placed 5th, 6th, and 7th in three races, your average place would be 6th. D ivide th is by 3 (number o f races run) to g et your point ra tin g o f 2 .0 . Anyone can keep track o f th e ir scores, and we encourage those lis t e d below to keep tabs on us and send in your records at the end o f the year i f they d i f f e r from ours. We added a few other ru les to our system: (a ) Races must be attended by a reasonable number o f a th le te s (t o be determined by the e d ito r at th is poin t in tim e...m aybe using some other method l a t e r ) , and must be PA-AAU sanctioned events, or at le a s t take place in the PA-AAU with su b stan tial numbers o f p a rtic ip a n ts ; (b ) we on ly count fin is h e r s in the top 10 (open) and top s ix (s e n io r ) fo r our ra n k in g s...y ou need not be lim ited to th is in fig u r in g your own personal t o t a ls . I f a lis t e d runner fin ish ed out o f the top ten (o r top 6 fo r s e n io rs ) in a given race, th is i s n 't counted against him; ( c ) a l l a th le te s re s id in g in the PA-AAU are e l i ­ g ib le , whether re g is te re d in the A ssociation or not (e . g . - Ray Darwin, John Anderson), as w e ll as PA a th le te s re s id in g outside the A ssocia tio n ( e . g . - B i l l Scobey); (d ) in meets where two races are held (o r more), the main event s h a ll count fo r open com petition and two races may be counted fo r senior com petition (e . g . - Lake M e rr itt, Monterey, e t c . ) . The scoring year s ta rts w ith the Lake M e rritt Races on Columbus Day. Below are lis t e d the top 15 open com petitors and top 9 se n io rs . Handicap races are counted, but order o f f i n ­ ish is not used. Instead, fa s t-tim e is used in determining the point ra tin g s . In case o f t i e s , the p lacin g is figu re d as an average.

I f 2 in d ivid u als tie d f o r 4th p lace, then 4.5 would be used as the fin is h p la c in g . Below, t ie s (2-way) are indicated by an a s te ris k ( * ) , and 3-way t ie s are indicated by a degree sign ( ° ) . We are always in terested in hearing comments from our readers on how we might improve our system...maybe taking in to con sideration the number o f com petitors, q u a lity o f f i e l d , length o f race?? Send us your ideas.

Maybe in the coming year we can devise an equation based on a l l (and more) o f these fa c to rs and feed i t to a computer to get standings.

The to t a ls below include a l l races through the Emerald H ills Run, except the F elton and Dipsea Races, which we have not received com­ p le te re s u lts on as y e t . We expect the Dipsea resu lts s h o rtly , however, F elton seems to be a r e a l mess. A fte r 3 le t t e r s to the F elton Businessmen's A ss'n , the race sponsors, concerning a l i s t o f names o f fin is h e r s instead o f race numbers, I have as yet to re c e iv e even a r e p ly . IMPORTANT: We know the top 6 in the race, but that is a l l .

I f anyone has knowledge as to who fin ish ed 7-10 (t h e ir race num­ bers were 255, 143, 193, and 237 r e s p e c t iv e ly ), please rush the names to us im m ediately. We need to compile the to ta ls soon because the scorin g year is almost over. We a ls o need to know who the top 6 seniors were. Come on you old m e n ...le t us know how you placed or we w i l l have to ignore th is race com pletely or ju st count those we know about. Your help is needed u rgen tly. Thanks. * * * Meanwhile, back in the stan d in gs...Jack Leydig ( i t ' s a c tu a lly kind o f embarrassing to be lead in g in your own game) continues to p u ll ahead in the open d iv is io n w ith a 0.160 to 0.204 lead over Darryl B ea rd all, w ith Dan Anderson c lo s in g fa s t in th ird w ith 0 .2 l4 . Both the la t t e r ran in the F elton Race but we c a n 't add th e ir to ta ls y e t. I t would move D arryl up to 0.191 and leave Anderson e s s e n t ia lly unchanged. Re­ member, the to ta ls fo r th is year end w ith the Napa M arathon...not much time l e f t . A newcomer to the l i s t entered in impressive fash ion .

Tom Hale b litz e d his way a l l the way in to a t i e w ith V ic to r Mora fo r fo u rth . Other than th a t, not too many changes in the open d iv is io n standings. Ross Smith (who e ls e ) f i n a l l y broke team mate B i l l Mackey's one year old senior record o f 0.080 by taking two f i r s t s to run h is t o t a l to 15 out o f 18 t r ie s year. Ross' new mark, i f he d oesn 't take i t up s t i l l fu rth e r, stands at a remarkable 0.071H The sen­ io r s d id n 't run too much the past month and the next 3 d id n 't change. Only other change is that Paul Reese edged ahead o f Jim Nicholson f o r f i f t h place (Paul is 55), and G il Tarin made the l i s t fo r the f i r s t time e v e r, d isp la cin g P eter Wood.

SPECIAL ARTICLE The women ath letes in the P a c ific A ssociation who compete in the AAU organized track and f i e l d events, used the in s p ira tio n o f a t r i p to the Olympics to spur th e ir performances during the 1972 season.

During cross country season, W i l l 's Spikettes from Sacramento proved themselves unbeatable as they DOMINATED the n a tion al cross country meet in the G ir ls ' D iv is io n (l4 -1 7 ) by p lacing 1 ,2 ,3 ,7 ; and 11 w ith E ileen Claugus, Tina Anex, S h irle y Springer, Sandy Langan, and S h e llie Lucas. This was E ile e n 's second in d ivid u a l championship in a row, and the S p ik e tte s ' second team championship.

In the Women's D iv isio n (l4 / u p ), the San Jose Cindergals were th ird in the team standings as Francie L a rrieu was the fou rth in d ivid u a l fin is h e r .

For the f i r s t tim e, a separate race was used to choose the United States team f o r the In te rn a tio n a l XC Race. The S e a ttle race in February found E ileen Claugus o f the W i l l 's Spik ettes ju st fou r seconds behind Doris Brown, with Tina Anex (a ls o o f the S p ik e tte s ) and Jackie Dixon from the Cindergals a ls o making the U.S. team. In England, the team took second to England, as E ile en was the second fin is h e r in her f i r s t in tern a tio n a l r a c e .

During the indoor season there was no l e t up in the q u a lity o f running, as Ka­ th y Hammond o f the Sacramento Roadrunners sped to a world record in the 600 yard run during the U .S .-S oviet Indoor Meet, a ft e r she had won the 440 at the AAU Indoor Na­ tio n a ls in $4.9.

Outdoors, Kathy continued her complete domination o f the 400/440 as she won the n ation als by f i f t e e n yards, and won the Olympic T r ia ls w ith a new American record f o r the 400 at $1.8 to fin is h 1.5 seconds ahead o f the f i e l d .

On a n a tion al le v e l i t has been the h a lf mile and the mile in which the P a c ific A sso cia tio n has in recent years had the most q u a lity and depth. This year was no e x ­ ception as g i r l s from the PA won n a tion al championships at 400, 1500, 3000 and in the two mile r e la y (San Jose C in d e rg a ls ).

In the 800, Francie L a rrieu o f the Cindergals led the a ssociatio n with her best e ver performance o f 2:04 .8 . Cis Schafer o f the M illb rae Lions TC moved up a notch at th is y e a r's nation als from the fou rth o f the la s t two years to th ir d , and improved her time to 2:07 .0 . Nancy Mullen o f the Sacramento Roadrunners, doing her f i r s t s e r ­ ious h a lf-m i lin g , moved in to fou rth at the n a tion als, and showed continuous improve­ ment through the Olympic T r ia ls . Cindy Poor, from San Jose, ran the h a lf in 2:09.6 a t the State Meet to fin is h second to Wendy Koenig from Denver.

In the 1500 and m ile, Francie L arrieu dominated more c le a r ly than did Kathy Hammond in the 400. Francie did notlose a race a l l yea r, and topped her pre-Olympic e f fo r t s w ith a near world record 4:10.4 fo r 1500 at the Olympic T r ia ls . E ile en Claugus, in her quest f o r an Olympic berth , had the dubious misfortune o f chasing Francie a l l yea r. E ile e n , who has ju st turned seventeen, started slow ly on the track a ft e r her cross country successes, and came on lik e a whirlwind to record a best time o f 4:21.4, ju st missing the Olympic 1500 meter standard o f 4:20, and fin is h in g second in the n a tion al 1500 and fou rth at the Olympic T r ia ls race.

While E ileen was seeking an Olympic berth , her team mate Tina Anex captured the g i r l s ' d iv is io n m ile (4 :5 0 .9 ) and the women's d i ­ v is io n 3000 meters (9 :4 8 .2 ). Tina is a year younger than E ile e n !!

The 5 minute m ile has been a m ilestone in the career o f women runners, and th is year e ig h t g i r l s joined F ran cie, E ile e n , and Tina under th at mark or i t s 1500 meter eq u iv a le n t.

In th is s e le c t group you can fin d Spik ettes Ronalee Slosson and Sandy Langan, Cindergals Jackie Dixon and V ic k i and V a le rie E b erly, and Lioness Cis Schafer.

In other track even ts, the PA women have proved themselves o f s im ila r q u a lity . In the 100 meter hurdles, Deanne Carlsen and Cherrie Sherrard (both o f the Sacramento Roadrunners), both q u a lifie d f o r the fin a ls in the nation als and the Olympic T r ia ls . C herrie fin ish ed s ix th in the n a tion als, and both lowered th e ir personal bests to a PA record ty in g 13.9.

In the pentathlon, the PA got i t s th ird Olympian when M arilyn King o f the M illb ra e Lions fin ish ed second in the Olympic T r ia ls , ju st behind Jane F red erick who now liv e s in Denver, but who comes from Orinda.

M a rilyn 's 4206 in the f i v e eventer (100 meterhurdles, 4 k ilo shot, high jump, long jump, and 200 meter run) produced two personal best performances(high jump at 5-5 andlong jump at 20-6 3/4).

Other Olympians who came to the PA fo r th e ir tra in in g include MarenS e id le r , who hasbeentra in in g w ith Dr. Brown, the L ion s' f i e l d event coach,since Christmas, and Lucia Vaamonde, a pent athlete from Venezuela who is working w ith M arilyn King and L ion s' head coach Ed P arker.

Jan Svendsen, from San Mateo but now attending UCLA, w i l l jo in Maren as a shot pu tter as Jan reached the Olympic q u a lify in g standard in her v e ry la s t q u a lify in g m eet...a s did King reach her 4206 in her la s t e f f o r t .

T R A C K - F O O T B A L L . - S O C C E R - W R E S T L IN G - T E N N IS While prophets o f doom and gloom and the press w i l l probably only C R O S S COUNTRY - BASKETBALL p oin t out th at American women track and f i e l d performers are not competi­ t i v e in te r n a tio n a lly , they are only p a r t ia lly c o r re c t. While United States runners, jumpers, and throwers w i l l probably not garner many medals in Munich, f o r the f i r s t time the women have met the Olympic q u a lify in g stan­ dard in EVERY even t, and in most events the U.S. lasses are beginning to SACRAMENTO ATHLET!C SH O E S show r e a l depth. Simply "making the standard" is no longer assurance o f " N IK E - T H E S H O E F O R T H E S E V E N T I E S " a t r i p to the Games.

In te r n a tio n a lly , the United S ta te s ' women cannot be dismissed as o f no con sequ ence,...ask the Russians. In March, the U.S. squad downed the Russian team in th e ir f i r s t ever indoor meeting, 52-43. The b est o f the WALT* L A N G E 5 9 0 1 - A F*A!R O A K S B L V D .

COACH'S CORNER Meet Mike McCord: (Cross Country Coach at Burlingame High School) - The h ig h lig h ts o f M ike's b r i e f coaching career at Burlingame High have come re c e n tly : at the D is­ tance Runners' Breakfasts at the Hyatt House and the 1971 Mid-Peninsula League Track Meet where his distance runners (v a r s it y ) took two f i r s t s and a second, and four o f h is sophomores s ig n ific a n t ly improved th e ir P R 's. He h esita tes to take c r e d it fo r a l l t h is , but says, " I was quite proud o f them. Just being around frea k y distance runners is a t r e a t . " Mike never ran track or cross country. "In high school I hated running. In c o l­ le g e I started hanging around w ith S tan ford 's distance running weenies, became in t e r ­ es te d , started jog g in g , and i t a l l escalated a ft e r th a t." He now runs quite re g u la r­ l y , h its an occassional road race, and enjoys i t thoroughly. " I wish I had more e x ­ p e rie n c e ," he r e la te s , "but I'm learn in g from the running and coaching I'm doing now, and ev en tu a lly I may catch up." His o r ig in a l sources o f knowledge in the tra in in g o f h is a th le te s were Arthur Lydiard and K arl Griepenburg (ex-Burlingame track & XC coach) but l a t e l y he's been g iv in g a lo t o f thought to the Duncan Macdonald system: "lo n g , short and medium runs at moderate, f a s t , or slow pace, separated by sh ort, medium, and long in t e r v a ls ."

"Since tra in in g v a ries g r e a t ly w ith a b i l i t y and p e rs o n a lity fa c to r s , i t ' s d i f f i ­ c u lt fo r me to say to many s p e c ific s on how I tr a in my a th le te s ." The gen eral pattern he sets fo r th is as fo llo w s : In mid-season XC----Mon. moderate distance (7-10 m ile s ), Tues. Meet, Wed. long distance (10-16 m ile s ), Thurs. moderate distance (8-12 m ile s ), F r i . o ff- t r a c k in te rv a ls (880 or m ile ) follow ed by a short distance run (3-5 m ile s ).

On the weekend, runners are on th e ir own. "Many o f them work in runs between p a r t ie s ."

Some o f his runners work out in the morning and l i f t w eights. " I encourage th is in ­ d iv id u a l work but d on 't r e a l l y requ ire anything beyond the school week schedule and an occasion al Saturday workout. I lik e h i l l s and t r y to include at le a s t one or,tw o tough h i l l s in each distance workout." j In referen ce to road racin g fo r his runners, Mike f e e ls th a t, "young runners should run road races i f they en joy them— I encourage my runners to at le a s t t r y one f o r the experien ce. I d on 't f e e l , however, that any young runner should run races o f

ROAD KING SHOES

any kind a l l year-round, and I have discouraged runners from attempting a marathon when th ey w eren 't adequately prepared."

Mike h its a discordant note when ta lk in g about the American system o f a th le ­ tic s . " I f e e l that the American system o f a th le tic s is about as good as the Ameri­ can system o f p o l i t i c s . Anything is to le r a b le i f you have a proper ap p reciation o f the absurd. I f any a th le te keeps his head, he can enjoy a th le tic s in s p ite o f i d i ­ o t ic sports w riters, ulcerated coaches, a th le tic scholarships, and organized hassles.

But o f course I may be wrong---being a t e r r ib le a th le te m yself I 'v e never been sub­ jected to these pressu res."

At any r a te , Mike w i l l have h im self a p r e tty f a i r cross country team th is com­ in g f a l l , led by a probable th reat f o r the Mid-Peninsula XC in d ivid u a l crown in P e te r Brown,who had a tremendous e a r ly season la s t f a l l b efo re being f e lle d w ith a knee in ju ry . He could go a l l the way on to win the C.C.S. t i t l e i f a l l goes w e ll and i f Mike continues to coach;his a th le te s in a "humane way", not pressuring them in to things t h e y 'l l re b e l a g a in st. Mike w i l l most c e r ta in ly continue to become one o f the b e tte r coaches in the )ar ea with a b it more exp erien ce. )

Meet Chuck Smead{ The month o f September brings to the West V a lle y P o r tr a it a run­ ner who t r u ly has disproved the! old V ic to ria n b e l i e f that marathon races are f o r the o ld e r and more mature distance runners. When at the tender age o f 17, he e f f o r t ­ le s s ly came home )the winner in the tough Palos Verdes Marathon in a time o f 2:23:04.

That was in 196$. Just a l i t t l e over three years la t e r Chuck has proven him self to be a true "mountain goat" by b lit z in g to an ascent record in the Pikes Peak Marathon in Colorado— a sparkling 2:09:30, which broke Steve Gachupin's record by some f i v e minutes. (Read about th is in the re s u lts section o f the current is s u e ). Chuck also has very good marks in other events besides the marathon. Not blessed with a g rea t deal o f speed ( 25.8 f o r the 220), Chuck can run the 880 in 1:59.1 and the m ile in 4:16 .2 . In the longer distances, he has done 9:07 fo r 2 m iles, 14:15 fo r 3 m iles, 29:25 fo r 6 m iles and a very good 11 m iles, l4 6 l yards fo r the hour run w hile s t i l l 17 years o ld . On the roads, Chuck has done 49:51 f o r 10 m iles and 1:37:09 f o r 30 K ilo s among other tim es.

The schedule o f tra in in g that has contributed to the above performances is a constant steady output o f 90-100 m iles per week, ex e­ cuted in a hard-easy pattern w ith a long run o f 20-32 m iles on weekends. His track workouts are lim ited to only 3 times a week in sea­ son ( 5 x 1 m ile and two sessions o f sp rin t w ork). A l l other workouts are done on the roads w ith the ad d ition o f a f a r t le k workout once a week during cross country season. 'The pace o f my workouts v a rie s between 5 minutes and 8 minutes a m ile, depending on how I f e e l . " He also b e lie v e s in upper body work and does pushups, pull-ups and situps tw ice a week. " I b e lie v e a great deal in a ltitu d e tr a in in g .

I t r y to g et above 5000 f e e t at le a s t once a week i f p o s s ib le ."

Despite his c red en tia ls in long races, his goal f o r now is the shorter distances (o r at le a s t sub-marathon) at 2 ,3 , and6 m iles on the track and cross country, w ith p lacin g in the top 5 in the NCAA C ollege D iv isio n XC Championships his g o a l. With a l l his b est track times coming at the age o f 16 - 1 7 , he stands a good chance o f success in the shorter ra ces. His three most e x c itin g moments in his ca­ re e r have come at the Palos Verdes Marathon when he ran his 2:23:04 w hile s t i l l . 17, winning the N ational AAU 15 K ilo and fo llo w in g i t up the next week by winning the Pikes Peak Marathon. When he broke 9:20 fo r the f i r s t time in high school (as a ju n io r) he a lso had one o f his major career moments. C u rrently a student at Humboldt S ta te, Chuck should have a tremendous cross country season w ith his great e a r ly season con ditionin g (in C olorad o). A l l his team mates wish him the best o f luck in his quest fo r a place in the AAU Meet th is f a l l as w e ll as the NCAA C ollege Meet.

LONG DISTANCE RESULTS Chuck Smead Races to New Pikes Peak Marathon Ascent Record: (Aug. 13, Pikes Peak, C o lo .) - Only a short week a ft e r winning the N ation­ a l AAU 15 K ilo t i t l e in Denver, West V a lle y TC's Chuck Smead, a student at Humboldt State C ollege in Arcata, C a lifo r n ia , proved th at i t was indeed p ossib le to beat Steve Gachupin at his own game...namely running the famed Pikes Peak Marathon. In f a c t , Chuck not only had an easy time beating Gachupin, but so did e ig h t oth ers. Working hard on the ascent, Smead had a commanding 23 minute lead at the top, and smashed Gachupin's record by some f i v e minutes in the process. His 2:09:30 w i l l probably not stand ve ry long though i f he runs i t again next yea r. Although t i r i n g on the downhill p ortion (la s t h a l f ) , he s t i l l managed a 3:44:21, but missed the record (a ls o held by Gachupin) by about 5 m in u tes...record is 3:39:47 and Chuck ran 3:44:21. The time was set in 1968 (assume the ascent record was set at th at time to o , but d on 't know fo r s u r e ). Dave Quinn, 24, o f Steamboat Sprin gs, Colorado was a we11-beaten second, but managed to close s li g h t l y on the leader to record a 4:04:55 in fro n t o f Lee Courkamp (Arvada, C o lo .), 4:22:35. Ex-m iler Ernie C u n liffe did w e ll and got fou rth in 4:23:00. C a lifo rn ia n s did e x c e p tio n a lly w e ll as 4 fin ish ed in the top 10. P eter Hanson o f C olfax got 6th o v e r a ll (2:49:25, 4 :2 8 :2 4 ), follow ed by Bob Bruner o f Venice (2:55:03, 4 :4 8 :l6 ) in 7th and Harry A in s le ig h (a ls o o f C o lfa x ) in 10th (3:11:10, 4 :5 3 :5 0 ).

Other C alifo rn ian s who made the round t r i p were James W eil (20th--3:34:47, 5:43:31) o f M ill V a lle y and John Owens o f B ak ersfield who was

in the next s lo t at 3:26:4$, 5:44:28. A t o t a l o f 40 runners made^the round t r i p . Most made the ascent on ly. L o t's o f other C a lifo r ­ nians made the ascent only in various d iv is io n s . They are summarized below, but f i r s t a few comments...Northern C a lifo r n ia 's rep resen t­ a tiv e s did an e x c e lle n t job , and not only in the open (round t r i p ) d iv is io n . Larry Fox, 50, o f Campbell, ran a great second place in h is d iv is io n (5 0 -5 9 ), with an elapsed time o f 3 :l6 :4 o behind Dr. Frank McCabe's record 3:00:50.

In the women's race (l 6 & o v e r ), Joan U lly o t, 32, o f San Fran cisco, missed the winner by only 6 minutes and recorded a g re a t 3:34:30 fo r second. A geless Wal t Stack, now 64, took his time in 3:46:13 to win the 60-69 d iv is io n , but f e l l fa r short o f his r e ­ cord o f la s t year (3 :2 5 :5 6 ).

TOM HALE OVERCOMES HEAT TO EDGE BEARDALL AT LAFAYETTE (J u ly 15, L a fa y ette R e s e rv o ir) - Tom Hale, on his way to Oregon th is f a l l to run f o r "Bowerman's b oys", made his summer road-running debute in fin e s t y le , but almost succumbed to the 90 degree heat (even though the race was held at 9 in the morning) as three runners were less fortunate and collapsed and had to be taken to the h o s p ita l in extrem ely poor con d ition . Race o f f i c i a l s were com pletely un­ prepared fo r th is s itu a tio n and fa ile d to issue warnings when the race began. Hale started out at a ve ry fa s t pace, dragging Jack Ley­ d ig behind him fo r about 2 m iles b efore he went on alone (Leydig dropped out, thinking i t wise not to challenge the h e a t). However, in the l a t t e r stages o f the race he slowed remarkably and D arryl B ea rd all, running a more con servative race under the adverse con dition s, almost hauled him down, missing by on ly some 24 seconds. The others were fa r arrears a ft e r a f a i r l y close pack had formed at the h a lf ­ way p o in t. The course consisted o f tw ice around the L afayette R eservoir fo r a supposedly accurate 10,000 m eters. A b i t e xtra was added to make i t come out p r e c is e ly . Ross Smith again showed why h e's the best senior in the area as he took l4 th o v e r a ll and beat his near­ e s t senior r i v a l by some 1 l/2 m inutes...Dennis Teeguarden in l 8th . A t o t a l o f l 6l fin ish ed the grin d, but qu ite a few s ta rte rs found i t a l l to o tempting to c a l l i t quits a ft e r one lap w ith the searing sun draining w illpow er and stamina. Kathleen O'Conner, 15, o f the Redwood C ity S trid e rs , was the top female fin is h e r in 49:34, about a minute ahead o f her nearest c h a llen ger. Winners o f other d iv isio n s were: Under 15 - Dave C ortez ( 8th , 35:52), 15-29 - Don Curtis (5 th , 35:04), 30-39 - John Weidinger (4 th , 34:39), 50-59 - Paul Reese (33rd, 4 l:0 4 ), 60+ - W ilfred Bigelow ( 109th, 50:32).

WEST VALLEY KNOCKS l4 MINUTES OFF TAHOE RELAYS RECORD (August 12, Lake Tahoe) - I t wasn't to o long ago, 1968 to be exact, when the f i r s t sub-7 hour e f f o r t was made "around the la k e ", and people were ta lk in g about how a club squad would never go th at fa s t (th e 6:55 was run by a pu t-togeth er team from the Olympic Training Camp in So. Lake Tahoe and included such notables as Van Nelson, Gene Comroe, Tracy Smith, and o th e rs ). But p r e tty soon qu ite a few clubs had dipped below the magic mark. P a c ific Coast Club was the f i r s t to do so in 1970 along with West V a lle y TC. Last year West V a lle y lowered PCC's mark even fu rth er to 6:47:11 and two other teams went under 7 hours...Mad R iver and a m ake-shift team m ostly o f Oklahoma State runners. People were p re tty sure the record would go again w it^ a stronger WVTC squad, but no one had dreamed that any team could get so close to 6:30. The team, composed o f Skip Houk, Domingo Tibadu iza, Hernan Barreneche, B i l l C lark, P eter D uffy, V ic to r Mora, and Jack Leydig, com pletely buried the former standard with a phenomenal 6:33:19-4 clock in g . What is even more amazing is the f a c t that A lvaro M ejia ran on the c lu b 's "B" team, at his own request, because he d id n 't f e e l w e ll. He then proceeded to knock o f f a course record 62:03 f o r the f i r s t le g to put the "B" team about 3 minutes or more ahead. Had M ejia run fo r the "A" team as o r ig in a lly planned, the record would have gone down to 6 :2 9 :4 l!! Whether any team w i l l be able to go th at fa s t in the foreseeable future remains t o be seen, but chances are that the current mark w i l l hold up f o r many a year...m aybe u n til next Olympic year (1976). In ad d ition to M e jia 's f i r s t le g mark (knocking about 2 minutes from Scobey's re c o rd ), the fo llo w in g le g bests were s e t: 2n<^ le g - Domingo Tibaduiza broke John H alb ersta d t's mark w ith a s t e lla r 53:23, about a minute below the old standard; Chris M ille r 's 3rd le g record withstood the attack and stays at 55:57; B i l l Clark was way o f f Mark C o vert's 1970 4th le g b l i t z o f 55:20 ( B i l l ran 57:35); P eter D uffy lowered B i l l K e lly 's e f f o r t to 53:16 (from 54:28); V ic to r Mora destroyed Rich Delgado's old 6th le g mark o f 54:53 by going 52:49; and Jack Leydig ju s t did g et Doug B u tt's lon gest standing mark (54:22) on the f i n a l le g with his 54:05.4. West V a lle y 's "B" Team had m isfortune at the 5th le g when Dan Anderson headed towards Truckee and lo s t 8-9 minutes b efore g e ttin g back on course. They s t i l l managed the second b est scratch time and would have gone under 7 hours as w e ll was i t not f o r the wrong turn. Sandwiched in between the two top scratch teams were two su p er-fast senior aggregates: the NorCal Seniors and the West V a lle y Joggers & S trid e r s . They staged a b a ttle ro y a l & fin ish ed only a b it less than 4 minutes ap art.

HALE STOMPS FIELD AT BOLINAS RUN (August. 20, Bol in a s) - In a la s t minute e f f o r t to keep the race from going on the rocks, the P ierce Point race d ire c to rs moved th e ir race from the regu lar lo c a tio n to a spot north o f B olinas, some 35 m iles away (e s tim a te ). Signs were put up at important in t e r 足 sections so that runners wouldn't go to P ierce Point by mistake (th e farm could not be used th is year and they d id n 't fin d out u n til a day or two b efore the r a c e ). Many o f them blew down and no one r e a lly knows how many were l e f t wandering along the c o a stsid e, not r e a l 足 l y knowing i f there was a race or not. Anyhow, a hardy group o f some 55 fin is h e r s was led by s t e l l a r Tom Hale, seeming to g et stronger with every race. The conditions were overcast and ve ry m uggy...quite unpleasant I thought. Hale found i t to his lik in g , however, and recorded a 39:09 over the approxim ately 7.7 mile course, leavin g his nearest com petition, George Stew art, some 51 seconds a rrears. Sur足 prise th ird p lacer was J erry Maydahl o f UC Davis, a strong runner, but not normally in too good o f shape at th is p oin t. Angelo Martinez also pulled o f f a surprise by notching a fou rth place fin is h , ahead o f the lik e s o f Jack Leydig, Dan Anderson, and Doug Butt, to name a few. The only senior o f any note to show up was Don P ic k e tt and he placed 27th in 48:45. Fran Conley was the only woman fin is h e r to our knowledge in 4 ls t (5 2 :3 7 ).
