Here's the scene Saturday
afternoon at Weems Baskin
Track. It's 2:30, there have been
an uncountable amount of high
school and college races before
and the couple of thousand fans
that are still surviving the blaz
ing April South Carolina sun are
trying to stay awake.
"What's the next race.?" one
frightfully bored spectator asks
his friend while trying to stifle
a yawn.
"Just a minute, let me check
the program," the friend
replies, slowly turning the
reach for his schedule of
events. "What was that race
they just finished, the 880-yard
relay for high school girls?"

"Hell, no. They don't even
have girls in this meet. It was
the 440-relay for colleges."
"Oh, then the distance medley
for universities is next."
"You're kidding. That's ten
laps. It'll take at least 10 or 11
minutes. I can't take much more
of this. Let's go."
"No, let's wait until this race
is over."
The distance medley starts,
with 15 or 20 half-milers fight
ing, elbowing and pushing for
position. In other words it starts
like any other relay race longer
than a mile.
By the time the three quarter
milers take the baton three
teams are way out in front of
everyone else and are threaten
ing to lap some. Then on the last

of his three laps North
Carolina's Tony Waldrop starts
to pull away from Duke's Roger
Beardmore and NC State's Neil
Ackley.
When the Blue Devil's miler
Bob Wheeler finally. gets the
baton, North Carolina's Reggie
McAfee is ten yards up the
track. NC State's Jim Wilkins is
five yards behind Wheeler.
With a lap to go the crowd
begins to feel something
strange is happening and for the
first time are on their feet yel
ling. Wheeler confidently
closes the gap on McAfee and
moving down the final back
stretch is only a stride behind.
Coming out of the turn Wheeler
pulls even and the crowd goes
wild. At the tape Wheeler
lunges and for the first time in
the race is ahead of McAffe.
Duke wins the distance medley.
Our friends are not impres
sed.
"The 440 relay for primary
school.girls was better."
"Yeah, it didn't take near as
long. Let's go."
As the friends leave, the
announcer tells the results of
the distance medley. Nothing
seems too exciting until he
comes to the winner.
"The winner," he yells, "in a
new meet and world record
time of 9:32.8, Duke Univer
sity."
What's that again? A world
record being set on that rinky
dink track facility in back of the
Roost? As incredible as it
seems, it might happen.
Bill McClure thinks that Duke
and North Carolina both have
the capability of breaking the
record, 9:33 held by Kansas,
who had a guy by the name of
Jim Ryun running anchor for
them, at the 11th annual State
Record Relays Saturday after
noon.
"I think the two top teams in
the distance medley have the
capability of breaking the world
record," McClure said Wednes
day. "Duke won the Florida
Relays last Saturday in 9:53.4,
but they can go a lot faster than
that if all their guys run their
best times in the same race.
"McAfee, Wheeler and Wil
kins are all outstanding milers
and have good people ahead of
them. North Carolina may have
a little edge in their first three
runners."
The Tarheels lead off with
half-miler Lennox Stewart, a
sub 1:50 man. They are even
stronger in the three-quarter
mile spot with Waldrop. He's
run the mile in the low four's
and the 880 in 1:47. Finally,
McAfee has done everything
but break the four-minute bar
rier. In the NCAA indoor cham
pionships he was second only to
Olympic Games' hero Dave
Wottle.
But, while Duke may be a lit
tle weaker with Steve Wheeler,
Scott Eden and Beardmore, Bob
Wheeler makes up for it. The
third Olympic miler, besides
Ryun and Wottle, has broken
the four-minute mark and
should make the difference in "
the race.
If Wheeler and McAfee get
the baton at the same time,
Duke will win, McClure
believes. "McAfee would p rob
ably needa10Oor 12- a avan
tage to finish ahead Wheeler,"
he sati
