B-5 Waddell qualifies for 2000 Summer Paralympics in Sydney by Paul Robbins SPECIAL TO THE RECORD Paralympic and World Championships ski gold medal winner Chris Waddell is home this week, but you'll have to look quick because - after qualifying for the Summer Paralympics in Sydney, he's in a scramble to boost hrs training and conditioning. Not that Waddell - who was paralyzed below the waist in a 19S8 ski accident while a student at Middlebury College - is akin to being a couch potato. After all. at the Paralympics track and field trials two weeks ago in Connecticut he won three events and plummeted all the way to third in his fourth event. He won the UK) meters. ZOOra and 400m and third in the 800 at Connecticut College in New London. To celebrate, he raced again in the wheelchair division of this week's Peachtree 10K road race in Atlanta - a good endurance workout since, as the 31 year-old Waddell noted, "longer is not as good for me: shorter is better." And then it was back to Park City - he bought a house here last summer to help anchor his pre-'OZ training regimen - for a few days this week. Then it's back on a schedule that only-David only-David Janssen in the old "The Fugitive" TV series could appreciate: he was ticketed tick-eted for some training in northern Minnesota and elsewhere before heading head-ing to Australia in mid-October, the Paralvmpics will be Oct. 18-31. and in addition to the 100. ZOO. 4X1 and St XV meter rav.es. he figures he'll also compete com-pete in two relavs - the 4xl00-meter and 4 x 400m. His three trials victories were "a bit of a surprise, but nov, it's a relief." he said in a phone interview. "Now. though, it's a relief. It was a relief to know I'd done all that work and was able to make it pav off. Now I can do the (remaining train ing and be readv " His biggest problem, he said was torn rib cartilage, caused by the powcrtu!
