Almost one week after beginning a
marathon basketball game, eight
Brigham Young U. students and two
Salt Lake City high school students
earned themselves a spot in the Guin-
ness Book of World Records.
The marathon raised money for
American Cancer Society (ACS) re-
search. The goal was to collect $8,000
which would put the ACS over $1 mil-
lion for 1988, player Dave Hone said.
Joining Hone and coordinator Steve
Nelson were players Mike Hone,
Jonathan Neff, Paul McGuire, Wilburn
Sprowl, Todd Corelli and Dale Asay.
High school students Ken Browning
and Tony Dailey were also team mem-
bers. Dailey's ankle injury kept him
from finishing.
"We've had a blast just playing," said
McGuire. "It's just a novel thing to be
able to break the world's record in some-
thing."
Nelson said the team began practic-
ing once a week to get to know each
other and had a few "mini-marathons"
of four to six hours.
"I knew it was going to have to be a
team effort," Nelson said. "We'd all have
to be really good, close friends and that's
what happened - we've pulled it off."

Washington State U.
Washington State U. (WSU) football fans will see women
on the field for the first time this fall.
In an occupation where men are the prominent figures,
WSU has set the standard by hiring Christa Mitchell and
Jennifer Carstens as the university's first female football
trainers.
"This is the first time two females have been assigned in
an organizational capacity," said Mark Smaha, WSU's
head athletic trainer.
The women lighten the load for Smaha by ensuring ev-
erything is ready for practices and games. Smaha said
WSU's selection of women trainers may set the precedent
for years to come. "However things go this year will deter-
mine the future for women on the field," he said.
Carstens and Mitchell have been trainers at WSU for
three years. They have worked basketball, volleyball and
track, but Mitchell said being a trainer for football is diffe-
rent from other sports for which she has trained.
"Trainers have to focus in on the people who are injured
and keep your eyes on everyone else," she said, adding that
it's hard to know everyone on the team because the number
of players is much larger than in basketball and volleyball.
Mitchell said they feel pressure from the coaching staff
when a starter is injured and the coaches want the player
on the field. This year's coaching staff is the first staff to let
women trainers travel with the team. "Past coaching staffs
had more conservative ideas of women," she said.
Smaha, president of the National Athletic Trainers Asso-
ciation, said he is happy the two made it through their
application and interview process at WSU to become foot-
ball trainers.
"I am really proud of our (athletic trainer) program be-
cause of our kids," he said. "We picked students who would
reflect the quality and character of our program."
