* THIS AND TH A T# * Thanks again to a l l those who helped keep the NCRR a liv e while I was in Europe: A ctin g e d ito r Harold DeMoss, along w ith helpers A rt Dudley and John Marconi; assembly lin e per sonnel who managed to m ail three issues with u n b e lie v a b le e f f ic ie n c y Brian & B i l l Moroney and Dave Shrock. E sp ecia lly , we say thanks to Lurana Hoetger, O ffic e Manager at the PA-AAU in San F ran cisco, who went out o f her way to type resu lts fo r our p u b lica tio n . She c e r ta in ly has more than enough to do in keeping up w ith things a t work. While on the subject o f Lur ana: a t the AAU Convention in Kansas C ity , the Progress Award was, again, awarded to our A ss o c ia tio n . Our D elegation voted to have Lurana rec e iv e the award from the podium. This award represents the events, r e g is tr a tio n s , sanctions, e tc . o f the previous yea r. Lurana kept an e x c e lle n t record o f these a c t i v i t i e s during the year and compiles and w rite s a r t ic le s on s p e c ia l e v e n ts ...s o i t is an honor w e ll deserved. Since her employment in 1964, each President ( o f the PA-AAU) has been presented with a Progress Award Plaque. The t o t a l count is now at seve n !! These hang on the w a ll o f the Executive O ffic e . In c id e n tly , the PA-AAU had 36 Delegates at the Convention. * A u th ority has i t th at some l i t t l e female in the Petaluma Marathon rode in a car f o r about 15 m iles and crossed the f i n ish lin e as though she had run 26 m ile s ta r and fea th er the l i t t l e b ra t * Rich P erry is about to o f f i c i a l l y take over as the new Long Distance Running Chairman in the PA-AAU. He w i l l replace P eter M a tte i, who has served us in that cap acity f o r at lea st three years i f my memory serves me r ig h t . As soon as Mattei gets an o f f i c i a l b a llo t o f f to a l l LDR clubs in the Associa t io n , P erry w i l l be able to assume his d u tie s . P erry, in case some o f you are unaware, has been meet d ir e c to r at both the Ocean-to-Bay (Belmont) Marathon and Golden Gate Marathon fo r many y e a rs . 'Upon checking our records more c lo s e ly , i t was discovered that P eter Duffy did not se t a new f i f t h le g record in the Ta hoe R elay ( 72 -m ile around-the-lake) la s t August. His time of 53 :16 is only second fa s te s t to the 53:00 set by Eamon O 'R e il l y in 1968 while running on an Olympic T ra in in g Camp team that was the f i r s t group to crack 7 hours (6 :5 5 ). Since then, many more teams have broken that mark and WVTC now holds the record at 6:33:19-^. * In a recent l e t t e r to me from Andrew MacCono (Race D irec to r f o r the popular Walnut F e s tiv a l Road Race in September), he wanted to convey to everyone his re g re ts th at th is has to be a NO POST ENTRY ra ce. In his words, "The race is only a Sunday morning s p a c e - f ille r , p o lic e always pushing to c le a r out ahead, f o r the annual 1 pm afternoon parade crowd. We are hampered by lack o f tim e. This is the main reason fo r no post e n tr ie s , and the 9:30 am enrollment c lo s in g tim e. Otherwise the race would never g et s ta rte d . I t is the runner's respon s i b i l i t y to f i l e an e a r ly en try ; and to a r r iv e e a r ly enough to e n r o ll and g et a com p etitor's number. ONE RULE FOR EVERYONE. No fa v o r itis m . Most other races have p len ty o f tim e, or even a l l day. The Walnut F e s tiv a l Race is only one event on a four day program." Next race: Sunday, Sept. 23, 1 9 7 3 ...see ya there

ACT NOW!I * The Women's Junior XC Championships (AAU) and Women's XC Championships w i l l be hosted by the San Mateo Recreation De partment in 1974 and 1975? r e s p e c tiv e ly . Both bids were ob tained by the P a c ific A ssociation at the recent AAU Conven tio n in Kansas C ity . In the past, the G ir ls ' and Women's XC Championships have been held to geth er...n ow they w i l l be se parate and the G ir ls ' w i l l be labeled Juniors. We are assum ing that th is means "under-20" as with men, but would lik e a v e r if ic a t io n i f anyone knows fo r sure.

The meet w i l l featu re many r e la y s , allow ing expanded p a r tic ip a tio n on a l l le v e ls .

This w i l l help finance a very needy lo c a l club program that is seeing many good lo c a l organizations die out because o f lack o f proper funding.

This year, the team added Norman B rig h t, 62, or S e a ttle , and Al Clark, 60, from Los Angeles. The others were Monty Mont gomery ( 66) , Noel Johnson (7 3 ), John Montoya ( 6l ) , B i l l S e lvin (6 2 ), Walt F red rick ( 66 ) , and Walt ( 65 ) . They cut twenty minutes o f f th e ir previous best in recording 4 l hours. I t was so cold and windy on the d esert that the wind knocked a truck and t r a i l e r over and the CHP warned lig h t cars to stay o f f the road.

Our Credo: (A ) To supply the best q u a lity equipment a v a ila b le in the world. You deserve no le s s . (B ) To bring i t to you at the n a tion 's lowest p r ic e s . Our Motto: (A ) We s e l l only the b est. (B) We w i l l not be undersold. Our Guarantee: (A ) 100% c re d it i f not s a tis fie d with the q u a lity o f the product. (B) I f you fin d anyone e ls e s e llin g the same pro duct in the U.S. fo r le s s , wew i l l c re d it the d iffe re n c e and reduce our p rice accord in gly.

resta te many o f the items th at were printed in other publica tio n s , we w i l l p rin t only those that we know were passed. In the very near future (h o p e fu lly by next is s u e ), we w i l l have the f u l l minutes o f the Board o f Governors Meeting and w i l l then make the resu lts known to our rea d ers. — One statement that a ffe c t s long distance runners (made in Racing Report & Runners World) is , to my knowledge, in c o rre c t. The LDR Com m ittee passed le g is la t io n that would assess each entrant in a N a tl. Championship a fe e o f $1.00 (in ad d ition to the nor mal $2.00 en try f e e ) . This would be used to support t r a v e l ing expenses o f a th le te s competing overseas. I am f a i r l y sure that some te c h n ic a lity caused th is item not to be passed by the Board o f Governors. At any r a te , i t is best to assume such at present u n til the f u l l minutes are a v a ila b le . * Some other important items a ffe c t in g long distance run ning that were passed by committee (not n e c e s sa rily by the Board o f Governors): Additions to Sports R ules: Addition o f 50 K ilo as a championship d istance....C han ge o f team sco rin g in N a tl. Championships except fo r the one hour run and cross country: "An unlimited number may enter from any one team, with the f i r s t three fin is h e rs to score, the next one to d isp la ce, and the remainder not scorin g. Each team must be designated b efore the race s t a r t . " F ive runners score in cross country and the hour, with no displacements, and a l i mit o f eigh t entrants per team in cross country. * * * N ote: these sports rules changes did not have to be passed by the Board o f Governors, and thus became v a lid and go in to e f f e c t in 1973. Sorry, my m istake:: The other item in the above paragraph ($1.00 en try f e e ) was entered as a change in the AAU Handbook, and thus needed Board o f Governor's approval. Sports Rules changes do not. *The LDR Committee sent a request to the finance commit tee in regards to a $12,000 allotm ent f o r sending teams to both the Pan-Am Cup and In te rn a tio n a l XC in 1973. To the best o f my knowledge, th is sum was obtained. This sum w i l l cover three teams fo r the In tern a tio n a l XC (Ghent, Belgium; M arch )...in clu d in g a ju n ior (under-20) and women's teams. Regarding s e le c tio n o f the teams: ( l ) The Pan-Am team is to be chosen from the top fin is h e rs in the AAU Cross Country Championship, provided they f a l l b efore the Pan-Am Cup. A second team s h a ll be selected by the LDR In tern a tio n a l S e le c tio n Committee by any method they deem s u ita b le , provided f i nances fo r th is second team are a v a ila b le . (2 ) The In tern a tio n a l XC team (both jun ior & sen io r) s h a ll a lso be chosen from the top fin is h e rs in the AAU XC. I f enough juniors are not among the top fin is h e r s , then the In te rn a tio n a l S ele c tio n Committee s h a ll choose the remaining team. ---- I t was the general concensus o f the group that while the AAU and In te r national XC are fa r ap art, no other equ itable method fo r ap pointing a team could be arrived a t. 'T h e All-Am erican Team in distance running was selected as fo llo w s : Top two places from the 1$, 20, 25, 30 K ilo s , One Hour, and 50 M ile , and the top three marathoners in the Olympic T r ia ls , plus the top s ix in the AAU Cross Country. The PA-AAU had th ree, and maybe four All-Am ericans fo r 1972: Chuck Smead (WVTC-15 K ilo s ), Ross Smith (WVJS-50 M ile ), Dar r y l B eardall (Marin AC-50 M ile ), and possible P eter Duffy (WVTC-Cros6 Country). P eter fin ish ed 6th, but may not be e l ig ib le since he is not an American c it iz e n ...d o e s anyone know the rules on this? *The LDR Committee supported (unanimously) Frank Shorter as our candidate fo r both the S u lliva n Award and Di Benedetto Award. 'A f t e r some d e lib e ra tio n on whether N e il Cusack o f East Tennessee should be judged on his fin is h at the AAU Cross Country by our committee, i t was pointed out that based on Rule 37 o f the Track & F ie ld Handbook, we could not act on th is matter because the p rotest against Cusack was not f i l e d properly. Ted Hayden, Meet D irec to r, moved Cusack from f i r s t to fourth fo r in a d verten tly cu ttin g the course. ' I n Men's Track & F ie ld , Frank Shorter received the nomi nation fo r the S u llivan Award, and Rod Milburn was selected as the Di Benedetto candidate. — The Philadelphia C lassic Mile is to be the o f f i c i a l AAU Indoors Masters Championships.

But that he is a dynamic p ers o n a lity that runners con fide in can be seen every day throughout the year as kids from a l l over San Francisco come to the P olo Grounds to learn from a man who has liv e d track a l l his l i f e . Colombat is not the "normal" coach by any means. He is not a high school or c o lle g ia t e coach, but is m ore-or-less a coach o f s tra y in d iv id u a ls . Klaus Hofmann, a 4:11 m iler from S t.

Ign a tiu s, both near 9:10 f o r two m iles w hile in high sch ool these four and many others lik e them have been h e a v ily influenced by the man most people in The C ity know as "The P r o f i t " . C arl lim ited h im self in high school to one com petition in a P.E. class at 100 yards. He ran 10.6 in f l a t s . When questioned about the h ig h lig h ts o f his coaching ca reer, Colombat r e p lie d , " I am not so in terested in the de velopment o f great runners as I am in the s o c ia l development I see when a n ti- s o c ia l kids become n o tic e a b ly le s s h o s tile , shy kids open up, re la x , and develop more outgoing behavior, qu iet kids begin to express them selves, or s e lf-c e n te re d kids begin to share and think o f others as w e ll as them selves." On tr a in in g — "When I f i r s t started coaching, I was hea v i l y in to I g l o i and in te r v a l tr a in in g . I graduated to a Lydiard system, c r y s ta liz in g my ideas as I became more e x p e ri enced in coaching. I cannot be too s p e c ific about tra in in g because a l l runners are in d iv id u a ls , and th e ir workouts may vary according to many fa c to r s . A gen eral schedule would see my runners doing complete distance work in the summer, a combination o f power and distance during cross country sea son, a s tra ig h t distance program again in the w in ter except f o r some short in te rv a ls f o r the indoor meets, and then track season blends the necessary track workouts with lig h t d is tance running. I fa vor weight tr a in in g only fo r those scraw ny types who need i t . " Perhaps one o f the most unusual things about Colombat as coach's go is his fe e lin g on the philosophy o f running as a whole. He fe e ls th at the whole person is more important than the running. Health should come f i r s t , studies second, then s o c ia l rela tio n sh ip s and development (g e t tin g along with o th e rs ), and fin a lly ...r u n n in g . "Running is lik e a b u ild in g . F ir s t comes the foundation, then, in ord er, —w a lls , r o o f, & f i n a l embellishments. T h erefo re, we bu ild s lo w ly , both in distance and in t e r v a ls . When the a th le te is ready, increase the workout." Perhaps many coaches f e e l the same way, but few p ra ctice th e ir philosophy lik e Colombat...perhaps because o f the pressures o f th e ir " jo b " . With Colombat, his coaching is not something he gets paid f o r , but m erely enjoys doing. Summing up th is remarkable man's fe e lin g s : "Every ath le t e who t r ie s is worth rec o gn itio n & p ra is e . Any time a coach begins thinking that 'h e ' is the word on running, he should r e a liz e that without a th le te s he is nothing, and that without him, the a th le te might and probably would s t i l l be an a th le te . The coach's reward is memories o f his a th le te s , s a tis fa c tio n w ith the end res u lts o f his work, and reco gn i tio n from h is a th letes that he has tr ie d to do his b e s t ."

DeMoss/ * NORTHERN CALIFORNIA PORTRAIT * Meet John B u t t e r fie ld : I t ' s best fo r John B u tte r fie ld to t e l l about his new-found a f f a i r w ith running. Just a few words o f p refa ce: the US Navy p ilo t (now studying at the Defense Lan guage In s titu te in Monterey) began running in January, 1971, because, d esp ite being f a i r l y a c tiv e p h y s ic a lly , he wasn't pleased w ith the weight he c a r rie d . His f i r s t race ever was a 6 . 6 -m ile r, which he approached in the usual novice s t y le : tennis shoes, bermuda shorts, and t e e - s h ir t . His f i r s t long race was a l 6 -m ile r, then came the '71 Boston Marathon (no thing lik e s ta rtin g b i g ) . But 1972 was his breakthrough year. F ir s t came a 2:28:14 in the Avenue o f the Giants race which q u a lifie d him f o r the Olympic T r ia ls , then a 2:30:10 fo r 29th place at Eugene—b estin g experienced 26-m ilers such as '68 Olympian Ron Daws, former AAU winner Bob F i t t s , and the lik e s o f Bruce Mortenson, John V it a le , B i l l N o rris , Tom Heinonen, Gary T u ttle , Justin Gubbins, Russ P ate, and Mike M itte ls ta e d t. And f i n a l l y , the b ig moment a 2:25:26 v ic to r y in the Napa Marathon, a PR by n ea rly three minutes. 'N u ff sa id . Let But t e r f i e l d t e l l how running has become a way o f l i f e f o r him and his fa m ily . "Running is simply great fun and something I hope to do the r e s t o f my l i f e . I would lik e to always remain competi t i v e , but I d o n 't want 'p la c in g h igh ' or 'winning' to s p o il the fun o f i t a l l . P o s s ib ly my times could improve and I could be a b e tte r runner i f I incorporated some speed, in t e r v a l, or track tra in in g in my program. However, r ig h t now I am turned o f f by these programs. I'm ve ry content with my pro gress and the fun in the t h r i l l o f running. My tra in in g is based p rim a rily on LSD and r a r e ly do I get out a stopwatch or go over a measured course w ith time uppermost in my mind. I would rather ju st d e lig h t in puttin g on my running to gs, g e t tin g outdoors and running where, when, how long and at what pace I f e e l l i k e . " " I got started in th is running business rather la te (age 33) and have follow ed the advice o f a good fr ie n d , Jock Semple (who, con trary to the points o f view o f many, is a warm, v e ry knowledgeable, d ed icated -to-d istan ce man and who does an amazing, almost single-handed job o f organizin g the Boston Marathon). Jock said to concentrate on putting in the m ile age, gainin g experience from the races and using shorter ra ces as my speed workouts and fo r sharpening. Jock fe e ls speed tr a in in g w on't do much f o r a guy my age and might even be more o f an in ju ry r is k . I usually lik e an early-m orning wake-up run o f 4-6 m ile s , never fa s te r than 7 minutes per m ile . At e ith e r mid- or la te -a fte rn o o n I do a longer run at 6:30 pace. I t r y to average 12-15 m iles a day e ith e r with a double work out or (on the average 1-2 times a week) a longer lone run. -

WEST VALLEY PORTRAIT, JIM VAN DINE, SHOWN LEADING SJCC STAR STEVE BROOKS IN A MEET THIS FALL. /Jan Sershen Photo/ * W E S T VALLEY PORTRAIT# Meet Jim Van Dine: The 1972 JC cross country season saw the emergence o f a b righ t new distance running s ta r, one Jim Van Dine. And what a spectacular emergence i t was f o r th is C o l lege o f San Mateo freshman. Last year in his senior track season at E l Camino High in South San Francisco, he gave an in d icatio n o f his p o te n tia l with a 9:20 two mile in the CCS F in a ls , but b efore that he had been very slow in coming. He was good, but not g re a t. Now, the high school runners o f note that were beating him soundly la s t spring are taking i t "on the chin" from Mr. Van Dine. S ta rtin g from an undefeated Golden Gate Conference record, Jim proceeded to take the Con feren ce Championship race and the NorCal JC t i t l e , and f i n a l l y a f i f t h place fin is h in the tough Cal JC Championships. While showing signs o f things to come in his senior year a t E l Camino, Jim r e la te s , " I was g r e a tly helped and in flu enced by A rt Reade and his I g l o i (in t e r v a l) tr a in in g . Almost a l l my running was done on the track back then. Here at CSM I have been doing much more distance ( 80-90 m iles a week) and only 1 or 2 days a week on the track . As o f now I am doing s t r i c t l y distance between cross country and track season." Looking to the g re a te s t moments in his young career, Jim s in g les out the fo llo w in g th ree: winning the CCS Region I XC Championships my senior year; winning the NorCal JC Meet th is yea r; and our team beating San Jose CC fo r the GGC Champion ship with my beating Steve Brooks in the same race. Looking towards the fu tu re, Van Dine would lik e to go un der 14 minutes fo r 3 m iles th is spring and win the State JC title . In the more d istan t fu tu re, Jim wants to continue to improve and do w e ll f o r a good 4-year school a ft e r CSM. I f his past record is any in d ica tio n o f things to come, there w i l l probably be a good many 4-year schools who w i l l be ask ing f o r his services a ft e r CSM. Look ou t...J im wants to run some road races in the future i f his job p erm its!! -
