Blair tries for nationals By STEVE MARTINDALE Now that Texas A&M’s Brad Blair has a championship to add to his credentials he has one more goal be fore wrapping up his final indoor track season. Blair won the pole vault in the Southwest Conference Indoor Track and Field Meet Friday in Fort Worth with a vault of 16 feet. With one more scheduled meet in the 1976-77 indoor season he said he wants to qualify for the NCAA Na tionals to be held in Detroit, Mich. “They (NCAA) set standards be fore the season begins,” the Carth age native explained. “This year yon have to clear 16-6 to get into the nationals. I only have one more chance to get it though.” Blair will travel to the Oklahoma City Myriad this weekend to com pete in the Track and Field Federa tion Meet. He also had to qualify for it by clearing 15-6 or better. The 6-1, 180 pound senior was not alone in representing Texas A&M in the event though. Sopho more Pat Ruehle also cleared 16-0 for second place. Two other vaulters cleared the mark: Houston’s Brett Dames for third and Texas’s Mark Herns for fourth. Their places were determined by the number of mis- Blair entered at 15 feet and cleared each height on his first jump. Ruehle had a few problems earlier, according to his teammate.

All four of the top finishers had a crack at qualifying for the nationals as the standards were moved to 16-7 after the 16-foot jumps. They were also chasing the 16-6 1-4 record set by last year’s winner, Texas’ David Sheppard. Earlier this winter, Blair broke his own A&M record for indoor vaulting with a 16-4 jump at Baton Rouge. His old record was 16-0. Soon, though, the meets will move outside, where Blair owns a personal best of 16-7. He cleared that two years ago in the College Station Relays. Blair said the com petition will change little after mov ing outdoors, which means it could be a very close contest again. Reign ing champion Frank Estes won’t be back to haunt the pits however, hav ing transferred from Texas. “You have to change a little bit when you move outside,” Blair said. “There’s some change in your run because there will be a wind at your back—hopefully. ” Texas A&M’s outdoor season will begin here Feb. 19 when the Aggies host the University of Texas in a dual meet. Asked what his goal was outdoors, he quickly replied, “High as I can go.” He later added that “It’s all in your head. You go as high as you can if you don’t form a mental block and say you can’t go higher. Like, you may be trying for 17 feet. When you get there you have to look higher and not decide that’s as high as you can go.” Two can ride cheaper than one. ^1 A Public Service ol This Magazine & The Advertising Council Battalion photo by DebbyKn Foreman goes in for a dunk against Baylor.
