James, a junior transfer from Se neca College in Toronto, said the jump enabled him to achieve one of two goals he had set for himself. The first was to break the Ca nadian mark of 7.91 meters by Jim Buchannon at the 1976 Olympics. “I’ve been chasing that ‘ghost’ (Buchannon, who died in a car acci dent in 1977) for a long time,” James said. “My coach in Canada was also his coach.” His second goal is tojump 27 feet, which is why he came to A&M. “It was good for me to come down here,” James said. “I get to train in the warm weather and this is the best jumping conference in the nation.” There’s one more incentive for James. “It’s a major inspiration in that the The other national record set by an Aggie was Francisco Olivares’ 54- O'A leap in the triple jump for a new Mexican mark.
