Some of the finest milers ini
the Midwest will gather tomor-
row in Kalamazoo, highlightingi
the running of the Westernl
Michigan Relays.
The outstanding field could
pave the way for the Wolver-
ines' first four-minute mile,
according to Michigan assist-i
ant track coach Ron Warhurst.t
"GREG MEYER, will bei
running the fast heat for us,"
said Warhurst. "There's a defi-
nite possibility of a four-minute
mile."
Providing the comoetition for
the senior co-captain will be
conference arch-rival Herb
Lindsay from Michigan State,
as well as Western's Tommy
Duits and unattached Tom By-
ers.
Lindsay is coming off a dou-
ble victory in the mile and two

gan Duits and Byers, formerly
of Ohio State, have both run

"I'm looking for personal im-

some big meets coming up to
prepare for.
Other schools comueting at
the Relays include Eastern and
Central Michigan, as well as
most of the other Mid-American

"McGUIRE HAS been train-

"It still remains to be seen whe-
ther or not he'll be ready to

compete for a while, though."
Warhurst has also decided
to give distance workhorses
Billy Donakowski and Steve El-
liott a rest this weekend.
"Those guys have been com-
peting since September (cross

a chance for a mental break
whenever pobsible," explained
Warhurst.
