Historically, the international
ipeal of Western Athletic Con-,
rence track and field has attracted
ime of the most vibrant and viva-
ous names in collegiate sports.
A quick perusal of the confer-
lce rotter reveals some legiti-
ate tongue-twisters.
Consider Oluyemi Kayode and
yrk Greenhalgh of Brigham
oung and Mowa Selassie of Colo-
do State. And what about Vibeke
egneby from Texas-El Paso and
YU's Dorota Buczkowska?
The Fresno State track and field
ams, though not opposed to the
/AC name game\ introduced
lemselves to their' new confer-
ice foes at this weekend's WAC
idoor Championships in Colo-
ido Springs, Colo, with a familiar
uestion on the topic of monikers:
What about Bob?
Bob, in this case, is Bulldog jun-
irRobmFoster.Thetransferfrom
orterville JC said^'howdy" to the
/AC in dynamic fashion, swiping
David Cox
two individual conference crowns
and earning high-point honors en
route to being named Male Athlete
of the Meet. Foster's heroics helped
the FSU men take third in the team
competition with 99 total points..
Defending conferencechampBYU
was first (15,9 points), followed by
UTEP(IU).
Foster won the men's 55-meterN_
high hurdles with a mark of 7.35
seconds and took the long jump
Friday with a leap of 24-fl 1/4.
Other standout performances
turned in by FSU men included a
*riew meet record in the pole vault
by. David Cox. The sophomore
from Hoover High vaulted 17J7 3/
4 feet, eclipsing a three-year old
record by New Mexico's Simon
Arkell by three-quarters of an inch.
FSU's Joe Amendt won the 800
meters in 1:53.28 to wrap-up the
men's individual championships.

WAC titles. Most notably was the .
continued indoor success of junior

heat. FSU's Janisha Richardson,
who fir jt broke the meet record in
preliminary heats, was second.
