passed Mims going into the
second lap after a quick
57-second quarter.
"I ran the next 110 at about
the same pace," Warren said.
"Then I hit a headwind on the
backstretch. I still felt good, but I
had told myself earlier that if I
was leading at this point, I would
ease up on the backstretch and
then work the last 200.
"Then I heard the announcer
say I was pulling away. I saw
there was no competition then,
so I could just bring it in. I think if
someone were with me the
whole way I could’ve run
faster.”
Warren’s next shot at a sub
two-minute 800 will probably
come at the AIAW champion
ships in late May or the Track
Athletic Congress meet in June.
But at this point, Warren is
mightly pleased with the season
so far.
‘ I've run some good times
this year (including an easy 4:26
1,500), beaten some people I
wanted to beat.”
The race Warren is really
looking forward is the 1,500 at
the Pepsi Meet May 10. There
she will meet most of the people
she beat in the last 150 meters
of the Olympic Trials 1,500,
where she placed third.
“I’m sure they all want to get
me.”

ever met. Their paths failed to
cross during the regular prep
season. But then the two were
invited to the 1979 U.S. Sports
Festival.
“We were roommates at the
Sports Festival,” McDonald
recalled. And when the compe
tition rolled around, Small beat
her. “But that's OK,” McDonald
said, her pale blue eyes shining.
That’s easy to say now. At the
Kansas Relays, Small was a
distant second at 160-7. “Yeah,
I enjoyed it,” McDonald admit
ted. “Totally.”
Actually, McDonald still
can’t figure out how she popped
her winning toss. After a long
plane ride Thursday, she was
tired and sore. The discus com
petition began at 10 a.m. Friday,
a hot and muggy day.
Her first toss in preliminaries
was a scratch. Her second went
about 158 feet. And then
“Something felt different. I
really didn’t think I had thrown
that far. I went down the
sidelines to get my discus and
saw two (marker) flags around
160. I thought, ‘Well, I threw far
enough to place in the top
three.’
“Then I saw another flag way
out there. I asked an official, ‘Is
that mine?’
‘‘I just about lost it right
there,” she said with a satisfied
grin.
McDonald has been spending
the entire season getting it
back. Her senior prep year,
compared to her junior season,
was sub-par. Her first goal at
Oregon was to get back into the
160s. That was quickly accom
plished with a 161-9 effort early
in the season, which broke
Kathy Picknell’s school record
of 161-6 set last year.
Her second goal — to break
her personal best (163-2) — was
done with a 164-6 toss two

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - A

^^cDonald said her next
milepost is hitting in the 170-175
range. So far, she’s on
schedule. "I think I might even
be ahead of it."
The prospect that such con
sistent improvement will make
the media beat a path to the
discus ring doesn’t faze
McDonald. Her face soured a bit
though when she said a reporter
from her hometown paper had
called her at 7 a m. Monday. But
she said she's happy her old
Watertown acquaintances
“took the time to do it."
Sometimes, Warren wonders
why the media isn’t talking with
her as much as last year.
V^arren is no longer an up
and-coming freshman —
someone whom Hayward Field
fans and reporters latch onto.
This year, she has established
herself, with 800 and 1,500
times consistently in the
national-class range.
Still, her 2:01.30 and victory at
the Kansas Relays probably
took most spectators in
Lawrence by surprise. “The
announcer had this big, long
speil about Madeline right
before the race, but not anyth
ing about me.”
