With many of her goals international at this stage in her career, Clovis High School Julia is fresh off a late-August 11th place finish in the World Junior Championships in track over 3000 Clovis \Vest High School meters, as successful a finish in recent years by any American distance runner there.

Nevada Union High School The team aspect of this event has Bend (Oregon) under famed Coach Bo); Latham, currently ranked Ponderosa High School 14th in the entire nation with momentum off of seven straight State 4A harrier titles. Sophomore Abby Quartz Hill High School McAllister (2nd in the state), Allison Cowart (4th), and Amanda Nelson (7th) lead five scorers from the Santa Rosa High School Lava Bear group that scored 30 points in the 1995 State Meet! However, here last year it was Clayton Santa Teresa High School Valley (Concord) that took the title in Division I, with 49 points to Bend's 136. Clayton Valley ended Skyline High School the 1995 season ranked #7 in the entire nation (Bend was #18), with only one of the top six scorers from Thousand Oaks High School its 1995 State Division III runner-up group graduating. Deborah Osteen, Kelly Howisey, and Julie Turlock High School Leininger were inside the top twenty in their State Meet Division in 1995. Pick out these two schools Vista High School and watch what should be an exciting team contest. Vista, out of the San Diego section, was fourth here Westmoor High School last year. Ayala (Chino Hills) is a highly ranked Southern Section team, with Jennifer Burris (7th in the state meet), a 4:54.0 1600m runner, leading. Chino's Jennifer Smith is a 10:57.37 3200m runner in track, with Jen Schindler (Ponderosa, Shingle Springs) tlle Division II winner her last year and 10:56.02 in track. Danielle Day (Quartz Hill) has run 10:45.20 in track, with sophomore Trina Cox adding to Santa Rosa's power with a 10:52.1 as a ninth grader. Chrisie Gregory (Clovis) was 15th in the state meet last fall, while Emili Lawson (Clovis West, Fresno) was 18th in that competition.

NOTABLE...... ATHLETE AWARD

1 For July 1996

J I ~~~ K [~~ [~rI . 2:58, Thirteen Minutes. In 1982, when Dave Moorcroft ran 13:00.42,he held his face in his hands, shocked at the enormity of his performance. OnJuly 8, 1996, found himself in fifth place at 3,000meters in a 5,000meter race. " I was running by myself in fifth. There were three Kenyans ahead of me but I kept the pressure on and moved into second with two laps to go," Bob recalls. Finishing second to Daniel Komen's 12:51.60, Bob's superb 12:58.75 gave him the American 5,000meter record for the first time--breaking the eleven year . old record of Maree.

\~n August 3, 1996, with 82,OOO-plus screaming fans, Kennedytook the lead of the Men's Olympic Final 5,000meters with 800meters to go.The crowd went crazy. He had kept the race fast for ten straight laps, staying just close enough to threaten to up the ante if anyone slowed the pace down, now he took his shot...After a furious last eight hundred meters, Kennedy took sixth, the best finish by an American since Steve Prefontaine's fourth in 1972.

How good is Bob Kennedy? As good as he wants to be. On August 10, Bob broke his own AR at 3,000meters with a 7:33.96in Nice. And, on August 14, Bob lowered the 5,000 meter record to 12:58.21. And on August 23, Bob lowered the 3,000record to 7:31.96! Congratulations to America's greatest middle distance runner, Bob Kennedy, who takes on all comers and makes us proud, you are the Fuji/American Track & Field Notable Athlete for July 1996!

an?ti of lan~e,

In the Hammer Throw final, an event won by four Hungarians since 1948, another young Hungarian, Balacz Kiss, continues the long and honorable tradition of Hungarian hammer throwers with two great throws over 80 meters--80.50 on his second and 81.24 on his third--2li6-6 to take the lead. Andrey Svaruk of Ukraine went 79.92 to get into second in his third throw, and our hero had two fouls--he was in definite trouble. Lance then pops a 76.94 meter throw, which ties him for eighth place and Lance thinks--it is over... He

mtly ...his throwing gloves...The agony has hit. ~takesI anceofftellshisussinglet,later, "hisI wasshoesshocked,and mostI thoughtimpor• that it was over."

But, in championship finals, there is no count back for the final qualifiernDeal had three more throws! He still had a chance! He put on his singlet. his throwing gloves and changed to his "fast shoes"... Nothing changed in the ham• mer until round six.

Deal, was the first up in the rotation for round six. He went into the cage, looked up at the gate, and entered the ring. His technique was near perfectionmhis distance of 81.12meters, or 266 feet two inches catapulted him into sec• ond place! He tried hard to relax,as eight more throwers had a chance to know him off the medal podium.

The ecstacy..Lance Deal. who looked to be out of the competition takes the silver medal! As the silver medalist. Lance Deal was the first American to medal in the hammer since 1956!
