The first word for comfortable
feet: Birkenstock.
© B,rkenstcxk 1982 The natural step.
Birkenstock studied feet — stan
ding, stepping and walking feet.
From these studies came the
famous Birkenstock cork footbed
designed to duplicate the yielding
properties of natural ground — a
break-through in comfort! A wide
variety of models and colors
makes it easy to select
Birkenstock sandals that fit your lifestyle as well as your
feet. Birkenstock sandals are an investment in quality.
Whether you choose rich natural leather, luxuriously soft
suede or our special poly material,
you can be assured of getting ex
ceptional comfort and long wear.
Birkenstock sandals are available at:

“I really think there is only
one clear favorite and that’s
Florida State,” Crawford says.
“We are just one of six or
seven teams who will be
fighting for second place. If
Florida State uses their people
to the maximum, they should
dominate the 100 through the
400. They have the possibility
to score big points in all of
those.”
But if the Seminoles falter,
Tennessee should be looming
close behind.
The Volunteers are led by
800-meter runner Joetta Clark,
who tops the nation with a
time of 2:01.15. Tennessee
also has quality in the sprints
with Mary Bolden, a freshman
who has run an 11.50 100 and
23.51 200. Cathy Rattray, with
a best of 52.19, is expected to
produce in the 400 and
distance runners Alisa Harvey,
Alison Quelch and Monica
O’Reilly should score a few
points in the 1,500, 3,000 and
5,000. Tennessee also
possesses one of the finest in
termediate hurdlers in the
country in Sharieffa
Barksdale, who has run a 56.54
this season.
The Volunteers will also
score in the field events. Pat
Wahh, who has a 184-6 discus
throw to her credit this
season, is tabbed for a high
finish. In the shot Walsh has
gone 53-5" and is expected to
score there, too.
Tennessee also has two of
the finest relay teams in the
country. Its 400-meter relay
team has clocked a 44.45 this
season, fourth best in the
country, and its 1,600-meter
relay team has gone 3:30.99,
which is by far the best in the
country.
In addition, senior Myrtle
Chester is expected to score
in the heptathlon, where her
season best is 5,485.
“We do have the potential to
score a lot of points because
we qualified 16 people for the
meet,” Crawford says. “But
points depend on performance
and we’ll just have to wait and
see how we perform.”
Stanford
Stanford University’s
women's track team, which is
usually regarded as a distance
running factory, has taken on a
new wrinkle this season.
Not only is Stanford deep in
the distances this year, but the
Cardinal has one of the coun
try’s top shot putters and
discus throwers and a quality
javelin thrower.
The depth in the distances
and the quality throwers make
Stanford a legitimate threat to
challenge for one of the top
three spots at the NCAA track
and field championships.
“One team could run away
with the thing but at this stage
of the season luck has a lot to
do with it,” says Brooks
Johnson, the Stanford coach
who also will coach the U.S.
women’s Olympic team this
summer. “Anyone could win it.
A lot depends on strategy,
though, and who wants to dou
ble who in what event.”
If Johnson decides to load
up and double some of his run
ners, it would definitely
enhance the Cardinal’s posi
tion in the team rankings.
One of Johnson’s options
will be to run PattiSue Plum
mer in two events. Plummer is
expected to win the 5,000 — in
which she has run 15:29.0 —
but also could score big
points in the 3,000, where her
best is 9:04,3. Stanford also
has a pair of runners, Alison
Wiley (9:09.4,16:01.5) and Cory
Schubert, entered in the 3,000
and both of them could score
in the 5,000.
The field events, an area
where Stanford used to be fari
ly weak in, is one of its strong
points this season.
For starters, there is Carol
Cady, who has tossed the
discus 204-10 and the shot put
55-1 this season to rank
among the nation’s leaders.
Cady is picked by Track and
Field News to finish second in
the shot put and first in the
discus. In addition, Stanford
also has Mary Osborne in the
javelin. Osborne, who is pick
ed fourth, has heaved the
spear 183 feet.
“We have the capability to
score in a lot of events,” says
Johnson, whose team nas
qualified 10 athletes in 20 dif
ferent events. “But a lot
depends on doubling people.
And with the Trials right after
the NCAA, it will be some
tough decisions for some
people.”
And, with all of Stanford’s
points expected to come in
the distances (46 points, ac
cording to T and F News) and
weights (43 points), the Car
dinal could prove to not have
enough depth to catch Florida
State or Tennessee.
