Northridge discus to**.
-it wat a thrilling, excellent meet,'
said E.tes. 'We had to win the mile

second. Then we had to place one, two
in the discus to win the meet.'
Fretno'i Ted Torotian held the
second spot in the discus through four
tosses, while freshman teammate Paul
Bender had won the event with a throw
of 172-7, two and a half feet thort of
the freshman record. Torotian finithed
third when a Northridge man threw the
discus » inchet over Torotian't mark,
causing Fresno to lose the meet.
The Bulldogs mittadthe tervic** of
school record holder Ellard and the
speedy Thomp*on. "Ellard hurt his
shoulder,- said E»te*. 'Hehas a chance
to become All-America thi* weekend
(in Kobo H.U for the NCAA Indoor national* thi* Wedne*day through Saturday in Detroit), and we didn't want to
hurt hit chances."
Eitet feh if Ellart* had been in the
lineup he would have easily won the
triple jump, giving the Bulldogs the victory Thornpton, meanwhile, had a very
slight leg problem, and probably could
have competed, but Estes said he decided to hold him put.
In an excellent 1,500 meter r*c», th*
Bulldogs' Brian Foley passed te.mrrujte
and rxx>rrirrurte Bob Tapia in the last fifty
yard* to win the race. Foley ran a
