From A High Schc By DAVID TALLEY Sports Editor Tony Rainbo said he was a 4'nothing" in high school football. He said he was dealt a lousy hand. But in track, he holds a full house. After playing three years on a high school football team that only won three game during his senior year, Rambo rpali/pH hie <;iyp and hie tpnm<; rppnrH wprp atJninut him cn hp 1 ^ w v v.0v....^v "?"' wx/ decided to search for something else in hope of a college scholarship. "I was a running back and only weighed 160 pounds, 1 nobody (college scouts) wants to look at a guy that small. I 1 was also a free safety, but I'm only 5'7" and nobody looks at the guy that short either," the Georgia native said. "Plus the t team only won three games my senior year, and I knew I wouldn't get any type of scholarship like that." < So Rambo resorted to what he calls his first love ? track. "I realized that it was too expensive for mom and dad to ; pay my way through school so I had to do something.

After an outstanding senior year, (one ; which saw him set the state record in the 330 intermediate hurdles which has yet to be broken), Rambo received track scholarships from Wisconsin, Florida, Florida State, i Virginia, Georgia, Georgia Tech and South Carolina. He i eventually decided to attend South Carolina. "I'm not sorry that I came here," he said. "USC really has great facilities and it's a real nice school. f nlr.rv /in /\ \ Cf fAMft 11IOC rQoll\7 ( 1 dl^U LdlllC UCtdU5C tWciLll Wyiiaiiic/ OIIUI15 wao itanj down to earth.

In his final heap he faced four of the to five hurdlers in ; he nation including Edwin Moses. Rambo said all he wanted o do was to beat one of them... but he didn't. He finished ifth. He then set a new indoor record in the 440 meter dash vith a 47.2 time. lie is now ranked 12th in the nation in the 400 intermediate lurdles and 25th in the world. Now, Rambo's goal is to compete in the 1984 Olympics. "That would be the highlight of my lite. I really think I J lave a good shot at it," he said. "I've really been training i lard." Rambo attributes his success to his father and to his f eammates. "My father ran track too and he is the one that really en- | :ouraged me. T ft ? % ? ?v> rttv-i 1 % ?

' You see, track is more of a mental sport than physical. You have to be mentally tough and you can only go as far as you want to. There's not a day that I don't come out here and hurt. But I'm conditioned mentally to go on and if I can't, the team will really encourage me. We're really a close team and we all try to help each other out as much as possible. Like I said, you can only go as far as you want to go.'' And Tonly Rambo wants to go far. He tried college football at USC, the same guy who thought he was a "nothing" in high school football. He made the team, earned a letter and even I played defensive back. I guess that tells you how far he wants to go. I The BestS DIO?
