It was a mile run that the winner ,captured in a time of 4:04.5: It was a race where the fans were standing and cheering for the leader during the final two laps. Why would a crowd react this way when anybody who has any knowledge at all of track knows that the time just wasn't that fast? The reason is .that the winner's name was Jim Ryun. That night marked the first time the Kansas miler had set foot on a track in over 18 months. The last race he started he never finished. That was in Miami Beach. After finishing the first quarter mile he just walked off the track. The pressure had finally overtaken him. Tim's troubles started in 1968. Minor injuries and emotional prob lems plagued the star. After run ning a 3:57.5 mile in the last meet ever held in the old Madison Square Garden, he took a month off in hopes of getting things together and letting a sore hamstring muscle heal. When he returned to the Kansas Relays he found himself weak, both mentally and physically. He com peted and won the mile. The week after that came the Drake Relays. After winning the mile Ryun told his coach Bob Timmins that he wasn't going to 'run in the 880. The coach and the athlete -argued bitterly, with Bran getting his way.

Jim's doctor made a preliminary diagnosis of mononucleosis on Ryun later that week. Timmins, who had. long thought Ryun to be psychoso matic, had him run two events at the Big Eight meet. After winning the mile Jim wanted to scratch from the 880. Again an argument ensued and Ryun was convinced to run. He won the race but afterwards they found out that. the original diagnosis was correct. After a rest he went up to Flag staff, Arizona to get used to living in a high altitude—he still hadn't given up hope of winning a Gold medal in the 'BB Games. By mid- June he was given permission to start jogging, but' his confidence didn't return until he finished a twelve-mile course in one hour and 12 minutes—a very fast time for an altitude of 8.000 feet. The fans were convinced he was back when he ran a 3:55.9 mile on August 9. At the Olympic trials he defeated Dave Patrick of Villanova. It was while at the trials that Jim realized that nothing else mattered —not the world record nor all of his victories—unless he captured the Olympic crown. In training he de veloped a paranoidal fear of losing which made the already tense Ryun even more tense. At the Olympics Kip Keino of Kenya captured the gold. Ryun's fear was realized. The pressure kept haunting him after the Olympics, "They weren't the outside pressures that bothered me but rather some inner pressures which were of my own making." He went into seclusion with his in their respective games last Sunday, 11-1 and 4-2. For, Sherkel, who has been mainly called upon in relief this year. it was his third win against no defeats.

He attributes his new self to Anne. "Anne was my source of motivation. I had lost my enthusiasm but she hadn't," he said. "When I first met Jim he had his day planned pat-pat-pat, just like that," Ann said., "He was very much a perfectionist. But I've pulled some of that out of him and he's more relaxed, more extroverted now. "Jim enjoys running now and I want him to have 'fun. We decided that if he ran a couple of races and it wasn't fun he'd quit—but on a more favorable note." So far this year the 24Lyear-old Ryun has equalled the indoor rec ord of 3:56.4 in San Diego and in the Kansas Relays, ran a 3:55.8, the Pastes mile since Keino did a`3:55.5 in . August of 1968. Looking ahead to Sunday, Ryan will meet the man who won the race in Miami—Marty Liguori of Villanova—in the. Martin Luther King Games' at Franklin Field in Philadelphia. Everybody had given Liguori the billing as the best miler when Ryun walked off that track. Now he will have to prove it against a new Jim Ryun. The guess here is that Ryun, who has the stronger kick, will turn in the fastest time since his world rec ord 3:51.6 to win the "dream mile". Liguori should also turn in a fast mile since he has been training for this meeting of the greats for some time now. Jim Ryun is back and that's prob ably what Marty Liguori will be looking at on Sunday afternoon— Ryun's back.

Many Colleges from around the state will be represented. 7. No team scores will be tabulated beCause the larger schools should' domiriate. Medals will be given to the first three finishers in each event. The entire Lion squad will compete in the meet which is scheduled to start with the field events at 4:30 p.m. The 440-yard relay and the mile run, which are expected to be two of the top events, will kick off the running events at 5 p.m. Coach Harry Groves feels that almost all records in the meet are in danger of being broken because of the number of athletes who have already surpassed the meet marks elsewhere. "We have received entries from most of the top talent in the state." Groves said. "Included among the entrants are people who already have better times or distances to their credit than 15 of our 21 existing records." One obvious star from Pennsylvania who will be miss ing is Villanova's Marty Liguori. He will remain in Phila delphia to compete against Jim Byun in the Freedom Games. Interesting matchups include a resumption of the cross state feud between Bob K.ouvolo of Pitt and Scott Hagy of Penn State. Last year liagy won the meet title with a throw of 235-1, he was followed by his team-mate Bob Gill in second place. In the 3,000 meter steeplechase Greg Rogers will join teammate Jim Allahand in trying to hold off nationally ranked Mike Schurko of Pitt. Schurko was formerly a member of the Penn State track squad.
