Show Thursday, October 21. By BOB HUDSON Herald Sports Writer Meet director Patrick Shane is high on Saturday's Daily Herald-Nik- e Autumn Classic cross country invitational at BYU for a variety of reasons. "In my opinion this is the best cross country meet in the West because it's run in a first-clas- s manner." Shane said. "We'll have the best teams and we'll have programs so people can tell who the runners are. "And," Shane continued, "the meet is run on a great spectators' course at Timpanogos Golf Course. Everyone should be able to see nearly all of both races women's and men's without having to move around much." The women's portion of the meet will begin at 10 a.m. and the men's meet will begin at 11. The women will run 5,000 meters and the men will run double that. In addition, Shane said, there will be an road race beginning at 8:30 a.m. with participants able to chose between running 5 and 10,000 meters. "We hope to get people out to that and then have them stay around to watch the college meet," Shane said. The race will start at the Rodeway Inn with competitors running to Utah Lake and back. Registration information for that race is available 5 from Shane at or and $6 Fee is $5 for for day-o- f signups. "Teamwise I see the meet as a battle between four teams UCLA, Drnnit I'attfrwjn Pholo Molly Johnson fights off challenge from Heidi Hughes; Kris Rawle does so against David Howard. Provo, Timpview Harriers Win Region Cross Country Crowns finished 12th through 14th. "I have never seen our girls so pysched," said Provo coach Mark Low. "It was just a matter of they knew what had to be done and they did it. "It might be totally different (at state) next week, but they earned it today," Low continued. "LaFranca hasn't run for two weeks and comes in and places fifth. She probably was the key to our win. "I didn't think we could beat Orem, but we did," Low continued.' "I'm really happy for them and so is coach Terry Thomas. "Now I hope we can keep our momentum and tackle Murray next week," Low concluded. Timpview's Kris Rawle and Orem's David Howard were involved in a close battle during the early portions of the boys' race but Rawle sprinted away on a long hill and won by 35 seconds, 14:47.3 to 15:21.1. By BOB HUDSON Herald Sports Writer Provo's girls and Timpview's boys had nearly identical point totals as they won the Region Seven cross country titles Wednesday. Provo's girls beat favored Orem despite the fact the Tigers' Molly Johnson won the individual race over the course at Utah Technical 35-4- 2 2.9-mi- le College's Orem campus. Johnson toured the course in 18:07.8, nearly 25 seconds ahead of runner-u- p Heidi Hughes of Timpview. Provo's Lanise Porter finished third with Timpview's Lisa Row-berr- y fourth. The Bulldogs won the meet with good grouping. Following Rowberry across the line were Provo's Julie LaFranca and Connie Thomas. The Bulldogs' Sunni Bennion and Laura Brothwell finished 10th and 11th. Orem had three girls in the top ten Johnson, Annette Bickmore in seventh and Susan Christiansen in eighth. The Tigers' Kamie Anderson, Linda Beckstead and Julie Beckstead The Thunderbirds' Darron Hardy nearly caught Howard at the finish line. Orem's John Burns was fourth and Timpview's Tso was fifth. Mike In the second five were Pleasant Grove's Mike Fisher, Provo's Bennion twins Chuck and Ted, Pleasant Grove's Mingl and Timpview's Mark Aaron. "We're happy to win it," said Timpview coach Brian Kuhl-ma"We had a lot of rookies starting the year but they matured well. They had a perfect score once as junior varsity members last year and they didn't let up at all once they became varsity. All seven of our people ran well. "I don't know if we're good enough to beat (heavily-favored- ) Murray at state but we're going after Box Elder for second. They beat us out last year and we would like revenge," Kuhlman concluded. The state meet will be run at Salt Lake City's Sugarhouse Park Oct. 27. The top three teams and any individuals in the top ten not on those teams qualified for the state meet. Thus Provo, Orem Andy and Timpview's girls and Timpview, Orem and Mountain View's bovs earned tickets. Mountain View beat Pleasant Grove by a single point to earn its berth. Individuals qualifying include American Fork's Alyce Reinhold among the girls and Pleasant Grove's Fisher and Mingl.

Oakland president Roy Eisenhardt gave Martin, whose contract runs through 1985, the "UCLA is ranked fifth in the nation by Women's Track and Field World right now," Shane said. "The one thing that will hurt them teamwise is that Michelle Bush, one of their top runners, is a Seventh Day Adventist and won't run. To her running on Saturday is as bad as running on Sunday is for us," Shane said. "There are going to be some great matchups individually, too," Shane said.

"Wyoming would normally be in there because they have a good team, but I've been told they aren't bringing a full team. New Mexico has an excellent team although it's young," Shane observed. "Last year they finished 11th at the NCAA meet. And Colorado State has an excellent reputation. Everywhere we go we hear 'watch out for Colorado State.' And we're better than last year and we were good enough to finish second in this meet last year. BYU, Colorado Key Development Maughan, Pleasant Grove; Greg Sey-bolOrem. Team scores; Timpview 37.
