Ags’ Barnes gets closer
to all-time shot record
From Staff and Wire Reports
AUSTIN — Texas A&M has an
other world class shotputting
“Randy” on campus.
Olympian Randy Matson, who
made his mark on the track and field
world in the 1970s, is a director of
alumni at A&M.
But he never heaved the 16-
pound shot his
freshman year TfCICK
as far as Randy and Field
Barnes, a 6-
foot-5, 285-pound sensation from
West Virginia.
Barnes made believers at the
Texas Relays Saturday with a heave
of 69 feet, 2 1 /4 inches, the best ever
by a collegiate freshman and 10th on
the all-time list.
The Aggie freshman had popped
some eyes open with a 70-foot heave
in practice.
His effort of 69 feet, 2 1 /2 inches
was the best university-college divi
sion shot put in Texas Relays’ history
and was the third best in Southwest
Conference history.
A1 Feuerbach set the meet mark
of 70-l!/2 while competing in the
open division for the Pacific Coast
Track Club in 1974.
A&M’s Matson and Michael Car
ter of Southern Methodist had
throws of 71-5 Vs and 71-4%, respec
tively, during their collegiate ca
reers.
Matson had a toss of 68-8 in the
1976 Texas Relays for the previous
college-university division best.
But Carter and Matson never
threw the shot as far as Barnes dur
ing their freshmen seasons. Carter
had the national freshman record of
67-7.
Barnes of Charleston, W.Va.,
made his tremendous throw on his
first try before the Memorial Sta
dium crowd of 11,000. His previous
best was 67-7‘A in the College Sta
tion Relays last weekend.
Barnes’ best in high school with
the 12-pound shot was 66-9Va at St.
Albans, West Virginia.
Barnes uses a difficult spin move
that makes him inconsistent.
“I figured Randy would hit a long
one,” A&M Coach Charlie Thomas
said. “He was hitting the center of
the ring in practice and that’s a good
sign. He had one at 70 in practice.”
Barnes was voted the meet’s out
standing male performer.
“I’m excited,” Barnes said. “I’d
heard of the Texas Relays and I was
excited about competing here. My
next goal is the collegiate record.”
John Brenner of UCLA set the _
A&M’s Randy Barnes strains as he puts the shot 69-2V4 inches at the
Texas Relays last weekend. Barnes’ throw broke the Relay record.
collegiate standard of 71-11 in 1984.
