THE Harry Jerome Interna-
tional Track Classic, set for
Swangard Stadium on Mon-
day, July 16 will attract the
finest pole vault field ever
assembled in Canada.

The world record of

5.88m, held by Soviet vaulter.

Sergey Bubka, may be
threatened by a quintuplet of
American vaulters. Former
world record holder Mike
Tully won the U.S. Olympic
trials with a new U.S. record
of 5.81m. Earl Bell had set

the U.S. record of 5.80m one
week earli¢ér at the TAC
Championships in San Jose.
This 28 year old former
world record holder was 6th
at the 1976 Olympics.

These outdoor record
holders will be joined in Van-
couver with the first vaulter
over 5.80m indoors. Billy
Olson, the laconic Texan,
may want to avenge his miss-
ing Olympic selection at the
U.S. trials in Los Angeles.
Dan Ripley, a member of

eet on trac

Pacific Coast Club, has
vaulted 5.72m. He joins team
mate Brad Pursley (5.74m) to
complete this outstanding
field. P.C.C. mentor Tom
Jennings predicts at least a
new Canadian record on July
16.

The Canadian Olympic
track and field team is
mobilizing in Vancouver on
their way to their training
camp in Sacramento. Many
of Canada’s team will com-
pete in the Jerome Interna-

tional. Debbie Brill, who
meets Louise Ritter, the U.S.

record holder, won the Cana-.

dian trials with 1.94m. Paul
Williams was named the
outstanding performer at the
Canadian trials in Winnipeg
with double victories in the
1,500m and 5,000m. He will
be challenged by Filbert Bayi
of Tanzania over 5,000m. °

Tickets for July 16 are
available at all Vancouver
Ticket Centre and Concert
Box Offices.

Wins again

CANADIAN Champion
Lawn Bowler Nell Hunter of
North Vancouver received a
silver civic meal and a kiss
from Mayor Jack Loucks,
July 9, as numerous sup-
porters in white sweaters
from the North Vancouver
Lawn Bowling Club looked
on in council chambers.

Hunter is the first two time
winner of the City’s civic
medal, presented in recogni-
tion of athletic achievement
by a citizen. She was the
‘Canadian Champion Lawn
Bowler in 1977, a feat she
repeated in August 1983.

**A very fine athlete and a
very fine citizen,’’ Loucks
called Hunter.

“‘“She’s a great gal, an
honor to our community and
we're proud of her,’’ he
added.

Mayor Loucks joked that
he needed sunglasses to cut
down on the glare from the

profusion of white lawn
bowling sweaters in the
room.

Harry Jerome was the first
recipient of the honor, receiv-
ing a gold medal in 1960 as
co-owner of an international
track record. Mayor Loucks
named several other reci-
pients, including 1974 Cana-
dian Lawn Bowling Champ
Muriel Holness. who is now-in
Scotland. .
