VOUJMEXIX I NUMBER5 ooms , OHIO .nJLY 1983 U .S WAI.lQl:RSGOOD, BUT NOT GOOD ENOUGH,JN DlTERNATlDNALS Competing in two top internationals since tee TAC 20 Km, U .s. walkers have tµrned in some excellent performances, but falle n short of the tough foreign' competition they have faced. The top performance was Jim Heiring's American record 10 Km in the U .s .-Nor dic meet on July 26 in Stoc kholm, Jim's 41:07 .91 on the track bettered ~ic!.rco Evoniuk's reco rd of 41 =42.5 1 set last yea:r, but still left him third behind Bo Gustavsson and Rei.ma Salonen, the European 50 Km cha.Jup. Evoniuk, in fourth, was also well under his old ma.rk, A month ea.rlier,in the Times/TAC International Summer Games 20 Km in Los Angeles , it was Marco who shone , as he finished fourth in 1:27107. This race was al so pa.rt of the U ,6. - East German dual meet, and the East Germans took one -two in the perso ns of Hartwig Gauder and Ronald Weig1:1l, The winner was reigning Olympic oha.mpion, Maurizio Da.milano of Italy. However, his win over the Ea.st Germans can be discounted somewhat, since their ;xrimary object ive was to finish safely in the first two spots against the U.S. They weren't going to risk disqualification from that race. The race started relatively slowly, with Dan O'Connor leading at 5 Km in 21:55. However, there were eight others on his heels at 22:00 or better. By 10 Km (43:50) Dan Has accompanied by Evoniuk , Heiring, Gauder , and Fiorella of Italy. Damilano , Weigel, and Ea.st Germany's Ralf Kowalsky were close at hand, with only Todd Scully dropped from the original group. The :i:ace hotted up considerably the next 5 Kmand the Americans were- all dro pped. Gaud.er and Weigel took coramand, and led Damilano by J seco?J3.s as they uent through 15 Km in 1 :04:47. Evoniu!c was now f'ourth, in a battle with Carlo Mattioli (who we overlooked in giving the leading grou p earlier), but 11~ seconds b.1.ok of the leader. O'Connor was in sixth and starting to open ground on Heiring, (Evoniuk and Heiring were the US entrants in the dual meet,) Damilano continued the pace over the f'in a.l 5 Jon and came ho:ne an easy winner over the cautious East German duo . Italy'ti Sandro Bellucci came :f'rom well back to overhaul O'Connor and Heiring, with Dan abl e to pull well clear of Jim in the final stages. Mattioli passed Evoniuk in the fL-lal yards on the track, only to be disqualified for his efforts. In winning, Da;uilano was able to cover the second 10 Jon nearly 2 minutes faster than the first ,

It was his third title at 10, ear l ier wins coming in 1978 an d 1979, 1,977titlist Steve Pecinovsky edged Tom Edwards for second , as both gained ground on Scully over the final 2500 meter loop. John Knifton overcame always tough Sal Corrallo during the second half of the race to take the Master's title. Canadians, in the persons of Andrew McMicoll and Ann Peel, also won in the Junior and women's divisions. Scully, Jobin, Pecinovsky, and Edwards ba.ttle.i on even terms through the fixst lap , with Scully l eading in 10:23. However, Jobin was ab le to move easily away after thrul., and Scully quickly opened a lead over the other two on the second lap. In the women's race, Susan Lin-s-Westerfield accompanied Peel through the fixst la :p, but had to gradually give way after t hat, fin ishing more than a minute behind the Canadia."l's excellent 49:46. David ?etri led McNicoll by 13 secol'tds at 2500, but could not match the Canadian's strong pace from there. Corrallo, a lo ng with Jack Boitano, led John Knifton early, but John was able to pull easily away over the second half of the race . NATIONALTAC 10 KM- -1. Mil.reel Jobin, Can, (guest) 2 .
