Jackie Williams has been awarded a
berth with the Buffalo Bills. The
multi-talented, but underpublicized
Williams starred in the Aggie sec
ondary for four seasons. He joins
former teammate John Paul
McCrumbley on the Buffalo defen
sive unit. The Bills were the worst
team against the pass in all of pro
football last season and Williams
will be called upon to help shore up
their leaky secondary.

Keith Spiers
“fastest
human
Keith Speirs won the Brazos Val
ley Joggers Club’s “World’s Fastest
Human” title with a time of 4:52 for
the mile run.
Speirs, 19, was relatively alone at
the finish, but he had a lot of com-
pany overall on the Kyle Field track
Saturday when 33 participants
showed up, the most ever for a
BVJC event.
It was a fast field, with 15 runners
recording times of under six minut
es.
Runner-up was 39-year-old Mike
Christiansen, club president, who
was clocked at 5:01. He was fol
lowed by Jacques Martin, 5:04; Don
Kirby, 5:05; and John Crompton,
5:06.'
Tim Parker checked in with 5:19,
one second ahead of David Barrow,
who finished a tick ahead of Jay
Wotton. The trio of David Allen,
Bill Timmins and Rusty Rush leg
ged it out in 5:27, with Bill Perry in
at 5:31, Jimmy Sterline at 5:40 and
Bartley Braden and Leigh Martin at
5:53.
Molly Allen was the top finisher
among the women, with a time of
6:29.

Prairie View sends
four to Olympics
Prairie View A&M University has
sent four of the eight members of its
national championship women’s
track team to Montreal to compete
in the Olympics.
Meanwhile, the university has
paused to honor the coach that built
the team to a powerhouse that has
won three Association of Intercol
legiate Athletics for Women (AIAW)
titles and two United States Track
and Field Federation cham
pionships since 1974.
Coach Barbara Jacket Day, held
recently, saluted the high school
athlete from Port Arthur who came
to Prairie View A&M to lead the
Pantherette tracksters to 159 season
wins in six years, the last three as
undefeated champions of the
AIAW.
University President Dr. A.I.
Thomas called her a “fine example,”
and pointed to her accomplishments
since joining the PVAM staff in
1964.
Debra Sapenter, a PVAM En
glish teacher who graduated in
1974, will represent the U.S. in the
400-meter run while Temple
freshman Arthurine Gainer runs the
600-meter relay for America.
Wearing the trappings of their
homeland, Jamaica, will be junior
Andrea Bruce (PVAM Athlete of the
Year in 1976) and Carol Cummings,
a 1976 graduate.
Sapenter, the world s fastest En
glish teacher, is a favorite in the
400-meter dash at Montreal as she
holds the current world record in
the 440-yard dash at 52.2 seconds.
She set the American record in the
400-meters at 51.6 seconds, 1.7 sec
onds off the world mark.
One of 60 athletes on an AAU
goodwill tour of China last year, Sa
penter won two silver medals for
the U.S. at the 1975 Pan American
Games for her efforts in the 400-
meter run and the mile relay.
Gainer helped set four national
records this past season in the
600-meter relay and she set a 57.25
second national record in the 400-

meter hurdles at the National AAU
Outdoor Meet this year in which
PVAM placed second overall for the
second consecutive year.
The school’s top athlete, Bruce,
will compete for Jamaica in the pen
tathlon. She won a bronze medal for
her country in that event at the Pan
Am Games last year.
If she seems a little more familiar
with Olympiad pomp than the
others, that’s because Bruce went to
the 1972 Munich Olympics.
She won the USTFF’s 100-meter
hurdles last year with an effort of
13.7, the federation’s high jump
with a 5-8 jump and the long jump
with a leap of 21-1 feet.
Cummings is' scheduled for the
200-meter run. She was victor of the
100-and 200-yard dashes at the
USTFF meet last year with times of
10.8 and 24.4 seconds.
Coach Jacket’s transformation of
the PVAM club into a powerful na
tional perennial was recognized in
recent issues of Black Sports and Jet
magazines.
The all-around athlete put the
shot, threw the discus and played
baseball in her hometown of Port
Arthur. In later years at Tuskegee
Institute, she expanded her efforts
to the 440-yard relay and high and
long jumps.
Coach Jacket was picked twice as
a coach on AAU teams that went
abroad for competition, once in
1973 and again in 1976. She was
selected Southwestern Athletic
Conference Coach of the Year in
1974 and Billie Jean King Award
winner in 1975.
Her squads have swept the Gulf
AAU and college conference cham
pionships the past several years.
