Ifie !VItCr~Tli uIILdf- IUt~Udy, AmPi l t, sk7~i za Kent State drops hockey program after presidential recommendation FROM STAFF REPORTS Central Collegiate Hockey Asso- ciation (CCHA) Commissioner Bill Beagan confirmed yesterday that the Kent State University Board of Trust- ees has supported KSU President Carol Cartwright's recommendation of April 5, to drop Kent's hockey program effective immediately. "It is common knowledge that KSU's athletic department has been in a state of turmoil since athletic director Paul Amodio was reassigned to a teaching position at KSU in Janu- ary," commented Beagan. Last January, Kent's football team petitioned Cartwrightto fire head foot- ball coach Pete Cordelli. Cordelli was fired several weeks later. On February 7, Kent's hockey team, following the lead of the foot- ball team, petitioned Cartwright to fire coach Bill Switaj. Kent's hockey team, in its second CCHA season, began the 1993-94 season with a re- spectable 10-8-1 record, butcompiled a 1-18-1 record the remainder of the year. "It would be accurate to say that I was upset upon hearing about ... Cartwright's recommendation to ter- minate the hockey program from the media," Beagan said. Kent did not give the CCHA the requisite 12 months' notification of voluntary ter- mination of membership. Beagan's calls to Cartwright, after her an- nouncement to recommend the termi- nation of the hockey program, were not returned. Prior to Kent's application for membership in the CCHA in 1990, the university, through its then-presi- dent Michael Schwartz, gave a com- mitment to the league to make several improvements to Kent's existing hockey facility: a new entrance, re- modeled lobby and coaches' office, improved locker rooms and expan- sion of the existing seating capacity. None of these improvements were ever implemented. Beagan stated that Kent would not have been granted CCHA membership "without a com- mitment" to implement these im- provements. Beagan added, "It is never a good day when you lose a hockey program. In the circumstances given the cur- rent leadership vacuum in the (Kent) athletic department, along with their failure to implement promised im- provements to their hockey facility, it's arguably in the best interest of the CCHA that (Kent) has taken this c- tion." The CCHA is in the processof modifying its 1994-95 league sched- ule, to be announced shortly.

New Boston Marathon record set BOSTON (AP) - No one ever called the Boston Marathon course fast. Until yesterday. Cosmas Ndeti of Kenya smashed the record in defending his men's title and Uta Pippig of Germany broke the women's record. Bob Kempainen, a 27-year-old medical student at Minnesota, broke the American record in finishing sev- enth on a day that saw temperatures reach the mid-50s and runners taking advantage of a 19 mph tailwind. "I was not aiming to get a fast first or second half. I was only concentrat- ing on the pace other people were running," the 24-year Ndeti said. He covered the 26 miles, 385 yards in 2 hours, 7 minutes, 15 seconds - 36 seconds better than Rob de Castella's Boston record set in 1986. Ndeti's time was the fifth-fastest ever and the fastest in the world in six years. It was only 25 seconds off the world best of 2:06:50, set by Belayneh Densimo of Ethiopia at Rotterdam in 1988. The 26-year-old Pippig won in 2:21:45. She broke the women's record of 2:22:43, set by Joan Benoit Samuelson in 1983, and moved into third place on the all-time list, 39 seconds behind the world-best of 2:21:06 set by Norway's Ingrid Kristiansen at London in 1985. Second on the all-time women's list is Samuelson, with the American record of 2:21:21 at Chicago in 1985. In winning for the second con- secutive year, Ndeti became the fourthr straight Kenyan champion. His coun- tryman,Ibrahim Hussein, won in 1991 and 1992. Kempainen, the runner-up at New York lastNovember, ran 2:08:47. The previous mark of 2:07:52, by Alberto Salazar at Boston in 1982. Ndeti held off late-charging Andres Espinosa of Mexico, the 1993 New York City Marathon champion. Ndeti ran almost an identical race to a year ago, biding his time over the first half of the course before surging to the front. Ndeti seized the lead for good just before 22 miles, overtaking little-known Boay Akonay of Tanza- nia. Last year, after winning, Ndeti gave his 2-day-old son the middle name of "Boston." "Last year was a miracle to me," he said yesterday. At the halfway point, Ndeti was ninth, as Keith Brantly of Fort Lau- derdale, Fla., led in 1:04:52. There- fore, Ndeti ran the second half close to 1:02:00. Kempainen was timed in 2:08:47, five seconds fasterthan Salazar's pre- vious mark of 2:08:52 at Boston in 1982.
