By RICK STOUCH
Collegian Sports Writer
The top competitors at TAC’s
United States Junior National Track
and Field Championships said they
felt sluggish.. But their perfor
mances didn’t show it as several
junior national records were broken
or tied at the Nittany Lion Track this
weekend.
Clinton Davis, of Munhall, f*a, and
the New Image Track Club, won the
200-meter run with a meet record
20.29 seconds. He did it within an
hour after finishing second to James
Rolle of the Central Florida YMCA
in the 400 meter.
Rolle had broken the meet record
in the 400 with a 45.48 in his semifinal
heat on Saturday. Davis wpn his
semifinal heats- in both the 200 and
the 400.
“I felt tired in the blocks really
sluggish,” Davis said, “but the ti
redness left when the gun went off

McEnroe fined again
by tennis officials
By GEOFFREY MILLER
AP Sports Writer
WIMBLEDON, England John
McEnroe was fined $5OO yesterday
for “audible obscenity” and had
one more week to make his peace
with tennis officials and regain the
Wimbledon title.
The incident came at the end of
a men’s doubles match Saturday
night. McEnroe and his partner
Peter Fleming, trying to win the
doubles title for the third time in
five years, had just beaten Bud
Cox and Jakob Hlasek.
During the match McEnroe suc
ceeded in getting the net judge
changed following disputed calls.
As the players left the court, he
said something to the crowd.
The fine, announced yesterday
by Wimbledon officials, raised
McEnroe’s total to $6,250 in the
last year. If he goes above $7,500
he is automatically suspended,
subject to appeal.
McEnroe had a stormy first
week at Wimbledon, but this was
the first time he had been fined.
The tournament referee, Alan
Mills, twice went onto the court
during McEnroe's second-round
match against Florin Segarceanu
Dolphins' Gordon dies
LAVEEN. Ariz. (AP) Miami
Dolphins linebacker Larry Gordon
died of a congenital heart disease
while jogging in the desert near
this Phoenix suburb, authorities
said yesterday.
Gordon, 29, suffered from ideo
pathic cardial myopathy, accord
ing to Maricopa County Medical
Examiner Heinz Karnitschnig’s
autopsy report on the NFL player.
County morgue attendant Bob
Edwards said the disease is
among the most common causes
and I just wanted to blow them all
away.”
Davis said he was looking forward
to facing John Parker, the defending
champion in the 200, but knew when
he didn’t show up that Stanley Bla
lock of Georgia would be his top
competition.
“Blalock was in the lane beside
me and when he moved up on me on
the curve I knew I had to work,”
Davis said. “Then I got my knees up
high and when I got near the finish I
threw up my arms because I knew I
had won."
Davis said he was happy with both
races.
“It feels great to break the record,
but I was also pleased with my
performance in the although I
finished second because I gave Rolle
a good race,” Davis said.
Meanwhile, Ken Williams of the
Golden Bear Track Club in Califor
nia broke the meet record twice

"His coronary artery was in
perfect shape. He didn't have a
heart attack,” Edwards said, cit
ing the autopsy report.
The disease has been found in
autopsies on children as young as
5, Edwards said, adding, "There’s
no way to detect it.”
The autopsy showed scar tissue
on a muscle in the lower part of
Gordon’s heart, according to
Phoenix Police Detective Tim

jump. The 18-year-old’s first jump of
16.24 meters would have been
enough to win the competition, but
his next jump of 16.30 broke the meet
record of 16.26: And the new record
fell again with his- final jump of
16.42. He said he never expected to
do that well.
“It’s a shock to break the record,”
Williams said. “I didn’t feel com
fortable at all and wasn’t on in my
warm-ups. I felt sluggish and didn’t
even feel that I could place in the top
two.
“ I guess my opening up so well put
a sting on the rest of the competition.
This is definitely my best meet by
far.”
Williams said the record will force
him to re-evaluate his goals.
“I came into this season expecting
a 51-5,” Williams said, “but now that
I’ve gotten a 53-10>/ 2 , I’m going to
have to shoot for a 54-10 or 55 feet.
And now that I’ve qualified for the

Olympics, I’m really, looking for
ward to them next year.”
The men’s and women’s records
for the high jump were also affected
over the \yeekend. James Lott of
Refugio, Texas and Clemson’s Shel
don Boyer both tied the meet record
of 7-3. Boyer won because he had
fewer misses.
On Saturday, Lisa Bernhagen of
Hailey, Idaho broke the meet record
and tied the junior national record
with a jump of 6-2'/4. She said she felt
sluggish and was surprised with
both her win and her record.
“I know Mary Moore and Camille
Harding (second and third place
finishers),” Bernhagen said; “be
cause they’re from the next state
and I was intimidated. I know
they’ve jumped a lot higher and a lot
more consistently then I have.
“I didn’t feel that I was capable of
jumping 6-2'/4. I can't explain my
improvement, but to do it gives me
hope to jump that high again.”
Actually, Bernhagen easily
cleared the bar at 6-2'/4 and just
missed a shot at a record 6-3 .
'lf ■' .
“I know when I jump whether I
will make it and I thought I had
made the last jump but I hit the bar
with my calf,” Bernhagen said.
In the decathlon, Kevin McGorty
of Westfield High School in New
Jersey, took first place with a track
record 7,133 points and broke the
meet record in the decathlon high
jump of 6-9'/4 with a 6-9‘/2. ,
Camille Harding of the Olympic
Flames Track Club in Washington
won the heptathlon with 5,346 points,
placing her second on the all-time
junior national list.
She said this was her first heptath
lon of the year and that she expects
to do a lot better at the international
meet in Connecticut next month
against Italy and Canada.
State College’s Lynne Strauss
made the national junior team with,
a second-place finish of 9:33.85 in the
3,000-meter run. She said she felt
sluggish and dizzy during the race.
“For a college runner it’s been,a
long season,” Strauss said. “I’m
pleased to come in second because
my last two races haven't been good.
It is hotter here than at the senior
nationals and although it wasn’t
unbearable, I still felt the heat.”
Strauss said that although front
runner and eventual winner Cory
Schubert ran a fast pace, she
couldn’t afford to fall behind.

In other events of local interest,
Greg Reyner of Penn State came in
second in the shot put with a throw of
17.33 meters, Rob Corry of Penn
State was fifth in the hammer throw
with a 40.76 meter toss, and Rick

Colleen Rosensteel of Greensburg,

discus with a throw of 47.15 meters,
Connie Sweet of Sayre, Pa threw the
shot 13.42 meters for a third place
finish and the Pittsburgh New

Schwartz said he thought the meet
went very well. '
“I had an enjoyable.- time,”
Schwartz said. “I think when you get
as great weather and great officiat
ing as we had and then throw in the
kind of talent that came here, you
can’t lose.
“I’m really surprised that not as
many, people turned out as we had
hoped, because the talent here is as
good as the talent you would see
anywhere else.”
Don Steffens, a spokesman for The
Athletics Congress, said the group
was happy with Penn State.
“The track facility here is pretty
outstanding,” Steffens said. “I
thought things went off smoothly
and that Gary Schwartz did a good
job. I think it would be fine for us to
have a meet here again.”
