She was turning left onto Bizzell St. from University Dr. Shandra is from Copperas Cove and plans to graduate in August. Olympics Continued from Page 1 then reinjured it on July 12. No amount of injections, pain-killers or therapies seemed to help. “These two injuries, especially the second one, are proof that the Olympic Games are not meant for me,” he said resignedly. Devers’ disappointment put only a slight damper on a hig day for the American Olympians, who have a shot at surpassing their Barcelona medal haul of 108. The U.S. women’s basketball team and six American boxers are undefeated and in the Olympic semifinals. America’s wrestlers, inspired by the memo ry of slain 1984 Olympic champi on Dave Schultz, took two golds and a silver Wednesday. Ten nis’s Lindsay Davenport clinched a medal, then broke down in tears after beating her best friend and teammate, Mary Joe Fernandez. It was a big day for Africa, too. Nigeria stunned soccer pow erhouse Brazil 4-3 in overtime, setting up a gold medal show down with Argentina. Hezekiel Sepeng won the silver medal in the men’s 800, the first medal for a black South African. And the newest Olympic event continued: Carling, the pursuit of an unearned spot on an American relay team. The lone entrant: Carl Lewis, who’s trying to parlay his long jump gold into one last Olympic chance. Two other American track stars, sprinter Michael Johnson and decathlete O’Brien, set the stage for a big Thursday night at Olympic Stadium. Johnson, seeking an unprecedented gold medal sweep, runs in the 200- meter final three days after his victory in the 400. He qualified for the race Wednesday. O’Brien, who didn’t qualify for Barcelona, had the lead through five of the 10 decathlon events with 4,592 points. O’Brien’s 1992 failure attracted attention, because it under mined a “Dan & Dave” sneaker campaign with Barcelona bronze medalist Dave Johnson. The hoopsters, led by Lisa Leslie’s 35 points, beat under sized Japan 108-93. Leslie’s scoring binge set a U.S. wom en’s record. The United States plays Aus tralia, which defeated Russia 74- 70, in Friday’s semifinals. The gold medal game is Sunday night. Three more U.S. boxers — Antonio Tarver, David Reid and Floyd Mayweather Jr. — guar anteed themselves medals Wednesday with victories. The Americans will pick up a mini mum of six bronze medals in Atlanta, with Mayweather de feating 125-pound Lorenzo Aragon of Cuba. It was the first win by an American boxer against Cuba since Leon Spinks did it in 1976. Light heavyweight Tarver, a pre-Olympic gold medal favorite, used a mid-second-round flurry to take control against Enrique Flores of Puerto Rico. Tarver’s big left hands finally ended the fight 1:54 into the round. Reid survived a third-round standing 8-count to defeat Mo- hamed Marmouri of Tunisia in a 156-pound bout. Tennis’s Davenport clinched a medal along with three freestyle wrestlers — Kurt Angle, Kendall Cross qnd Townsend Saunders. Cross took gold in the 125 1/2- pound class and Angle did the same at 220, while Saunders won silver in 149 1/2-pound division. The medal totals Wednesday: the United States 72 (27 gold, 30 silver, 15 bronze), Russia 45 (21- 16-8) and Germany 43 (11-12-20). Davenport earned her medal by beating fellow American Mary Joe Fernandez 6-2, 7-6 (8- 6) in the semifinals. “I was playing someone who’s my best friend,” said Davenport, who was crying after the match. “I don’t want to go out there and see her lose.” Awaiting Davenport is Aran txa Sanchez Vicario of Spain, who defeated Jana Novotna of the Czech Republic 6-4, 1-6, 6-3. Fernandez will attempt to win her second bronze medal in as many Olympics against Novot na; she also earned a spot in Saturday’s doubles finals with partner Gigi Fernandez. China’s fabulous Fu Mingxia, the 17-year-old who already de fended her platform gold medal, swept the Atlanta diving events Wednesday with a gold in the 3- meter springboard. The flying Fu became the first woman since Ingrid Kramer of Germany in 1960 to win the springboard and platform events in one Olympics. One person who shared Bubka’s feeling was six-time world champion Rebecca Twigg, the pre mier U.S. women’s cyclist. She quit the team and will not compete this Saturday, apparently due to a feud with national coaching direc tor Chris Carmichael. Reform party’s ballots ready to be mailed DALLAS (AP) — The first wave of ballots to select a Reform Party candidate were pre pared Wednesday to go into the mail as part of the new third party’s politics-through-the- post-office plan. This time, officials hope they have more suc cess reaching party members than they did with surveys to narrow the field of candidates to Ross Perot and Richard Lamm. The surveys as well as the ballot mailings are being handled by the Perot Reform Committee, which leads the Reform Party and is bankrolled by Texas billionaire Perot. The ballots will continue to be mailed through Saturday, said Russ Verney, national coordinator for the Perot Reform Party. Voters can cast their ballots by telephone, attending the convention, by computer modem, or by mail. “Whatever has been received by Aug. 17 will be counted,” Verney said. The party will announce its nominee on Aug. 18 in Valley Forge, Pa. So far, the Reform Party has qualified for the ballot in some fashion in more than 30 states, the latest success coming in Iowa on Wednesday. Verney said the task of creating a party has been overwhelming. “I’m totally consumed in getting this second mail ing printed and in the mail stream,” Verney said. The nomination survey mailings did not reach many party members, triggering nationwide com plaints, from people upset that they did not get the chance to participate in the process. “I think that you have to look at the first ones almost-as a pilot test because it was the first time that list was used,” said party spokeswoman Sharon Holman.
