THE BATTALION
WEDNESDAY, JULY 7, 1976
American men, women prepare for Olympics
Continued from p. 11.
“It’s the day with all the goodies, ”
the former water-skiing champion
said.
Charles Foster and Willie Daven
port, who finished first and second in
the 110-meter hurdles, were not
sure of their chances at the Trials.
Foster came to Eugene with a dam
aged hamstring, which he acquired
at the recent AAU championships.
Davenport was fighting greater
odds. A year before, he had anopera-
tion on his left knee. Two days after
the operation, blood clots appeared
in both lungs. Davenport’s doctor
told him then that there was a good
possibility he would never run again.
“I said then that I would be back, ”
said Davenport, “and I can only
thank God that I am.”
Steve Williams, the only man ever
to run four world-record 9.9s in the
100-meters, also came away from the
AAU meet with damaged hamstrings
He was unable to run his best
and thus, Harvey Glance and Mil
lard Hampton, both 19, won the two
races, but neither has any interna
tional experience.
Edwin Moses, Quentin Wheeler
and Mike Shine are new faces to the
Olympic 400-meter intermediate
hurdles, but these young men will
represent the U.S. at Montreal.
Moses, having raced in this event for
only three nonths, is the third fastest
man of all time.
The 1968 and 1972 silver medal
winner in the shot put, George
Woods, is teammate, Al Feuerbach,
has a better throw this year, 71-4 to
70-11-14.
Whatever the outcome of the
events in Montreal this summer, we
can be sure that each person compet
ing will do his best for himself and for
the U.S.
Although the women will be try
ing every bit as hard as the men, the
American females are not expected
to do well against their European
competitors.
The 1976 team has potential, but
it’s been said that potential doesn’t
win today, it wins tomorrow.
Kathy Schmidt, a bronze medal
winner in the javelin throw at the
Munich in 1972, is thought by many
to be America’s only hope for a gold
medal.
Two teenagers will represent the
U.S. in the 1,000-and the 200-meter
sprints, 19-year-old Brenda
Morehead and 17-year-old Chandra
Cheesebo rough.
Morehead may have as good a
chance at a gold medal as Schmidt
does. The freshman from Tennessee
State won both short races at the
U.S. Trials at Eugene, Ore., run
ning within .04 seconds of the world
record in the 100-meter run, with
11.08. A slight aiding wind in her
200-meter run kept Morehead
from an American record.
Cheesebo rough, who holds the U.S.
200-meter mark, was second in both
races. These two women will join
two other women, not yet named, on
a 400-meter relay squad that may
also contend for a gold medal if the
team perfects its baton passing.
Three excellent women runners
will be competing in the 1,500 meter
run for the U.S.: Cyndy Poor, Fran-
cie Larrieu and Jan Merrill ran a
tight race in Eugene, and each are
capable of winning a medal.
Kathy McMillan will be compet
ing in the long jump. She holds the
American record of22feet, 3 inches.
The pentahlon (100-meter j
dies, shotput, high jump, ‘
and 200-meters) will be represei I
by the three women who wei
Munich. Jane Frederick won
event at the Trials and was
by Gale Fitzgerald and Mai
King.
The 800-meter run was wo
Madeline Manning Jackson, tlie
U.S. woman to scrape under
minutes for this event.
She and the rest of the U.$,|
will soon be in Plattsburgh, Nj
prepare for their Olympic coo,
tion.
