The Southwest Conference will
crown its first indoor track and
field champions here Friday and
the feeling is that Texas’ dis
tance-deep Longhorns will take
home the family jewels.
The initial SWC Indoor Cham
pionship will get underway with
preliminaries at 2:30 p.m. in the
Tarrant County Convention Cen
ter. The first final event will be
the distance medley relay at 3:35
p.m. with finals in the other run
ning events scheduled to start at
7 p.m.
The new SWC championship
will be run in conjunction with
the 14th annual Fort Worth
Coaches Indoor Games and the
co-sponsoring Fort Worth
Coaches Association will also con
duct a meet for area high schools
in conjunction with the SWC
competition.
Texas will rank as favorite
among the nine SWC entries with
Rice, A&M, Houston and Baylor
among the top contenders for
team honors in the 15-event meet.
Arkansas brings a strong distance
field into the meet, while SMU,
TCU and Texas Tech are expect
ed to show well in shorter races.
One of the meet’s top features
is expected to be the mile relay,
scheduled as the night’s final
event at 10 p.m. A&M, Texas,
Rice and TCU all return strong
teams from last year’s outdoor
season. Among outstanding quar-
ter-milers expected to duel it out
on the final lap are Texas’ Don
Sturgal, Rice’s Lin Bingham,
A&M’s Horace Grant, Baylor’s
Tim Son and either Bill Collins
or Gary Peacock of TCU.
In addition to such outstanding
men as SWC mile champion Paul
Craig and runner-up Reed Fisch
er and SWC 880 champion Ru
dolph Griffith, Texas entrants in
clude two 60-foot shot putters,
outstanding hurdlers in Randy
Lightfoot and Nate Robinson and
strong relay teams.
The 60-yard dash field is head
ed by Rice’s Zoe Simpson, who
won the open division of the Fort
Worth meet last year in 6.1 sec
onds by defeating Olympic sprint
er Robert Taylor of Texas South
ern. But the Rice sprinter isn’t a
clear favorite because the field
also includes SWC 100 champ
Roaches opts
to run track
Carl Roaches, A&M’s premier
wide receiver and kick returner
during the football season has an
nounced he plans to run track be
fore and after spring training this
year.
He won the state 4A 100-yard
dash title in 1972 while competing
as a sprinter at Houston Smiley.
“Anyway, I hope to be back
after spring football,” he said, “if
I’m not too beat up.”
