A young Penn State women's cross country team will begin
its second season Sunday in an Amateur Athletic Union meet.
The freshmen-dominated Lady Lions will journey to Ger
mantown Academy in Philadelphia for the Club Keystone
Invitational, which will open a 1976 schedule that includes
mainly invitationals, but also the EAIAW Regionals at Beaver
Stadium and, for the Penn gate individuals who qualify, the
MAW Nationals in Manhattan, Kan.
The Lady Lions, whose 10-0 dual meet ret.ord last year "was
really nothing" according to Coach Chris Brooks, will be
competing mostly against AAU teams Sunday, as well as for
most of the season.
"The East (colleges) has been slow in developing," Brooks
said. "Some ,of the schools don't think its important to have
track all year round. But it its changing . . . . We're gradually
bringing in colleges on the schedule."

all goes well, according to
Kurtz.
In all, seven Junior Flyers
have applied to Penn State,
including three of their top

Personnel-wise, Brooks has 15-squad members, nine of
whom are freshmen.
"The 15 that we are really dedicated to what they're doing.
You also have the kind of athlete who just comes out in the
spring, but all the kids we have have been running since
September," she said.
The distance runners, who Brooks says "are as good as
anybody in the country," are led by Kris Bankes. The
sophomore blistered the indoor track circuit this season, and
holds the Penn State record for the mile. Bankes will also
probably be seeing action in the 880- and 440-yard runs.
Other key distance runners are Liz Berry, who ran a 5:02.9
mile last year and will also see action in the 880; Liz Cun
ningham, who is expected to be the main two-miler this year;
and Eileen Meenan, who will also ses a lot of action in the two
mile run and has a best time of 11:37 in that event.
Senior Karen Johnson, who was the top Penn State com
petitor in the hurdlei and relays last year, and Leah Ventura,
who has already qualified for the AAI nationals in the 100, 220,
and 440, lead the sprinters.
Other sprinters and hurdlers are Sue Hawkins, the New
Jersey group champ in the 440 last year; Tina Leatherman,
who has also qualified for AAU nationals in the 100 and 220;
and Tammy Hennemuth, who should see action in the 440
(best time of :56.8) and the 400 intermediate hurdles.
Massachsetts and one from
Canada are also possibilities
for next year according to
Kurtz.
'The goal behind Kurtz's
recruiting trips is to put
together a team that can
compete with lower and
middle NCAA Division II
teams like Massachusetts and
Ithaca.
This emphasis on recruiting
can't help but expand the
overall program but may in
turn end the collegiate hockey

careers of several current
Lionicens.
But for the time being it will
be Penn State versus the
Main Line Men, a team better
known for its fisticuffs than
its footwork on the ice.
It seems only proper that
Kurtz's assistant, Gary
Worrell, will take over the
coach's helm tomorrow night.
Worrell, a native Canadian, is
a graduate assistant and his
thesis involves a study of
agression in hockey players.

Colonial Relays attract trackmen
By RICK WEBER
Collegian Sports Writer
The Penn State outdoor trackmen are spending the weekend
in Williamsburg, Va. No, they aren't among the many tourists
who flock to see the restored colonial town. On the contrary,
they are among the 60 college and AAU club teams who are
gathered in the historic town to participate in the highly
regarded Colonial Relays today and tomorrow.
"One of the great things about this event," says head coach
Harry Groves, "is that there will be a few teams from the
north and a good number from the south who we normally
don't get to meet. It will give us a chance to knock heads with
those teams that we don't see often."
The cindermen ran trials this week to decide who would go
to Williamsburg to compete in the designated events. "We've
had a few problems like sore feet and ankles, but most of the
events are set," said Groves. "We usually enter a wide spread
of events, including all individual and relay events."
The relay teams and their• respective members are as
follows: 440 Jack Davis, Steve Hackman, Don Tracey, and
Mike Shine. 880 Davis, Tracey, Bill Austin, and Steve
Evans. Shuttle hurdle Dennis Rock, Pete Kiproff, Randy
Moser, and Shine. Distance medley Howie Triebold, Keith
Falco, Ken Wilson, and George 'Malley. Sprint , medley
Hackman, Falco, Triebold, and Shine. One-mile Hackman,
Falco Evans and Shine or Austin.
Shine, in addition to his relay duties, will represent the Lions
individually in the intermediate and high hurdles.
Hackman will compete in the 100-yard dash along with
teammates Davis and Tracey.
Cross country standouts Ed Darken, Walt Majak and Malley
will triple in the three-mile run, Bruce Baden will compete in
the 3000-meter steeplechase, and Ron Secord will enter the
six-mile run to complete the running events.
In the field events, Al Jackson will contend in the hammer
throw, discus, and shot put. Jackson was an indoor All-
American in the 35 lb. weight throw.
Jim Greene (long jump), Bill Gifford (pole vault), Pete
Kiproff (high jump), and Jim Karl ( triple jump) round out the
field events.
The Nittany Lion trackmen took five first-place finishes in
last year's outstanding Colonial Relays performance. Can

the Penn Staters do even better this yea?? "It depends on how
many teams actually show up," Groves said. "It's a relative
thing based on that and the weather. I would be more satisfied
if we went into a couple of relays and beat good teams than if
we won a lot of less important events."
Ruggers split for road
The Penn State Rugby club
will be on the move this
weekend, playing in two
separate tournaments.
The A side will travel to the
Polo Field in Bryn Mawr, Pa.
for the Eastern Pennsylvania
Rugby Union Tournament
hosted by Villanova Univer
sity. This tourney will bring
together the top 16 collegiate
rugby teams in the East.
Penn State, Princeton, West
Chester, and Bucknell ( the
only blemish on Penn State's
2-1 record) will be the
favorites to win the double
elimination two-day affair.
First-teamers Gary Green
berg, Timmy McCarthy, and
captain Terry Ryland, will be
sidelined with injuries. Ed
Montgomery, Ed Bradley, and
Jim Dolphin will join the A
side after being out of action
all season.
The ruggers will be tested
right off the bat facing a
strong Princeton team.
"If we get by Princeton and
stay healthy, we could win the
tourney," Ryland said at prac
tice last night. "Even if we
lose to Princeton we could still
beat everyone else and end up
in the finals."
Meanwhile the club's B side
will carry the Penn State ban
ner to the West Virginia Quad
Tournament at West Virginia.
University. Joining Penn
State in the tourney will be
West Virginia, Ohio State and'
LSU. The tourney will be
decided on a point system with
two points for a win, one for a
tie, and none for a loss.
"'A Penn State Rugby team
has never lost to an Ohio State
team," Ryland said. Ryland
hopes this will provide some
added incentive, if any is
needed, for the B teamers.
