McChesneys romp; Byers takes mile
By JODY MURRAY
Ol the Emerald
Bill McChesney — both of
them — were the toast of the
track at the Twilight Meet
Thursday night at Hayward
Field.
First, 53-year-old Dr.
McChesney obliterated1 his na
tional age group record in the
master’s mile. His son followed
half an hour later with a
second-place finish in a blister
ing Twilight Mile in which five
runners broke the four-minute
barrier.
Tom Byers of Athletics West
broke the tape in the Twilight
Mile in 3:55.73, which broke the
meet record of 3:56.3 set by
Roscoe Divine in 1979.
McChesney's time was 3:56.36,
followed by Oregon’s Rudy
Chapa (3:57.04), Ed Spinney of
Athletics West (3:57.34) and
Oregon Track Club's Ken Martin
(3:57.84).
Jim Hill of Oregon just missed
making it under four minutes
with a sixth-place time of
4:00 40.
Byers set a torrid pace for the
first two laps, taking the quarter
in 57.2 and the half in 1:55.8. He
slowed to 2:56.4 at the three
quarter mark as McChesney
whipped past him at the finish
line.
A sparse (3,940) but vocal
crowd stood and cheered as
McChesney held off Byers until
the last 100 meters Byers’ time
also shaved .26 of a second
from his personal best.
"I decided to just let him go
and then try to catch him at
200,” Byers said. "He's a
strength runner while I’m more
of a speed runner. I’m thankful
he took the lead when he did. He
pulled us through that last lap.”
McChesney, wearing a pink
singlet emblazoned with the
Pink Panther and Kermit the
Frog, defended his last-lap tac
tic.
“I don't know where this
rumor started that I have no raw
speed. I’m no slowpoke. I was
hoping to get about a 58 or 59.”
The man who finished third
also had a story to tell. Chapa
was scheduled to run the two
mile, the race just before the
mile. At the last minute, he told
Oregon coach Bill Dellinger he
was dropping the two to con
centrate on the mile.
“I'm a bit of a sentimentalist,”
Chapa said, “and I wanted to
continue tradition at the Univer
sity. While I was warming up (for

the two mile) I thought, 'I’ve
never broken four minutes.'
“I wanted to be one of those
sub-four milers, so I got out of
the two mile.”
In doing so, Chapa became
the 19th Duck to break the four
minute barrier. His time puts him
fourth on the all-time list, in front
of Dyrol Burleson, who won the
first Twilight Mile in 1966.
‘‘This year has been a
failure,” said Chapa, referring to
his injury-filled season. “Know
ing I could do it tonight makes
me feel a lot better."
McChesney’s father, Dr. Bill,
was feeling pretty good himself
after finishing the master's mile
in 4:51.5. His time roasted the
national record of 5:00.7 for
53-year-olds and was possibly a
world best.

McChesney was egged on
throughout the race by his son,
who volleyed from back straight
to main straight, yelling, “Go,
dad! Go!”
"It was really fun, breaking
new ground,” said the elder
McChesney. “Son of a gun! Fif
ty-three years old and I can still
run a mile.”
Dr. Bill was just joshing, as
he’s an accomplished runner
who competed this year in the
Boston Marathon.
“I came through the first lap in
65 and that scared me. I’ve
never done that in practice.”
In other highlights, Oregon’s
Jeanne Borchardt set a school
record of 5-8Vi in the high jump;
Bruce Bickford of Athletics
West ran a meet-record 8:35.90
in the steeplechase; Lynda
Hughes, competing
unattached, won a spirited
javelin duel with OTC’s Patty
Kearney, 172-11 to 171-3; and

record in the 3,000 meters of
