VOWMEXXIII, NUMBER4 coWMBUS,OHIO JUNE 1987 SHARP, VAILLCAPI'URE TrI'LES AT IDNG BEACH Lo~ Beach, Cal., May 24--Ray Sharp managed to escape a very persistent Pa Wick over the final 5 Km to capture the National Athletics Congress 25 Km race walk championship today. In the accompanying women's 20 Km National, Teresa Vaill was on her own all the way and finished better than 4 minutei; ahead of twin sister Lisa. In the master's diiisions, Larr:y Walker, no1: 44, was a very impressive thi:rd overall and an easy winner of the men's competition, and Jolen Steigerwalt beat a determined Caroline Butler for the women's title . Canada's 69-year-old Max Gould was the 60 and ov~r winner with a world best for age 69. Sharp and Gould took commandof the men's 25 from the start, coverin g the first 5 Km in 21 :48. At that point, Fli Boulding was third, already YI seconds in arears and 3 seconds ahead of John Salvonic. Continuing th eir relentless pace, the leading duo went through 10 Km in 43:51 and 15 in 1:06:03. Boulding had dropped out after 10 Km and Slavonic was now third, rut better than 4 minutes behind. On hi s heels were Aristeo Cortez and Walker. With the pace slowing somewhat, Wick stuck with Sharp through 20 Km, but when Ray was able t o accelerat e slightly over the final 5, Paul had to conced and settle for second, but in very impressive time. Walker moved i third just after 15 Km(Cortez dropped out) and pulled easily away from Slavonic the rest of the way, finishing 1 second under 2 hours. Vaill made a very quick start (23:53 at 5) and no one was up to chall· enging her . When she passed 10 Km in 49:0l, she was better than J minutes ahead of her sister and clearly in control of the race. Lisa, meanwhile, 1!aS being challenged by surprising 20-year-old Sarah Standley, who made a strong move the second 5 to pull within 11 seconds. However, StandlJY started to fade after 10 and zas caught by Mary Howell just before the 15 Kmmark. But Howell, too, faded, and had to give in to a good finish by the youngster.
