THE PALM BEACH POST MONDAY, JULY 18. 1988 3C fi Jackson helps Makos win State Swimming Bill Kelly leads Scott Cantrell through a turn during the feature Shoot-Out race Sunday at Moroso. Kelly Kelly wins Moroso Shoot-Out SCOn WISEMANStaff Photographer won, Cantrell finished fourth. feature By IAN CARTER GADDIS Palm Beach Post Staff Writer BOCA RATON Tricia Jackson won twice at Sunday's Florida Senior State Championship swim meet, but the Mission Bay swimmer is not done yet. Jackson's victories in the 200-meter individual medley and the 800-meter freestyle gave her three victories for the weekend meet, and enabled the Mission Bay Makos to win its third consecutive state championship with 1,275.5 points.

Her time in Friday's 400 IM of 4:56.84 was good enough to qualify her for the Olympic Trials Aug. 8-13 in Austin, Texas, but her 9:02.62 in the 800 free and 2:23.42 in the 200 IM fell short of the cut. Jackson, 18, is a sophomore at Clemson and has been training with Mission Bay since it opened in 1985. "I'm pretty happy with my 800 time because it's 10 seconds better than what I swam last summer," she said. "I think I can do better, though." She has a chance to lower those times at time trials meets Wednesday at Pine Crest and Saturday at the Hall of Fame pool in Fort Lauderdale.

She needs a 2:22.49 in the 200 IM and a 8:50.49 in the 800 freestyle to qualify. "I've just got to keep a positive attitude and keep training hard," she said. Jackson said she's not worried about qualifying in the 200 IM, since her time is so close. She swam the 800 freestyle first Sunday, and that slowed her considerably in the 200 IM. "The 800 tired me out a lot more than I thought it would," she said.

"I think I'll do much better at the time trials this week. If I don't qualify Wednesday, but I'm still close, then I'll go to Saturday's meet." School of Sharks Jackson is one of 27 Mission Bay swimmers who have qualified for the Olympic Trials, and she can look forward to some of the toughest competition she's ever faced. "It's really hard to say how hard it's going to be. Some say the Trials are harder than the Olympics, because the United States has so many good swimmers," she said. "I definitely have to improve to make the team." Fort Lauderdale's Todd Pace set a Florida Gold Coast record in the 100-meter freestyle in Sunday's qualifying, but he lost the final to Tyler Bierly of Mission Bay.

1 Motor Sports "Bray has been running great all day," said Kelly. "I knew Blais was fast, but I didn't think he was that fast, and Cantrell has been running at Moroso for so long, you knew he would be there." Kelly began the day with a victory in the 50-mile GTO race. He followed that with a victory in the Unlimited GP expert sprint race. "The bike is running real well right now," said Kelly following the Unlimited GP victory. "I hope I can make a clean sweep.

I'm 2-for-2 so far. "I feel like today's my lucky day." Prior to the Shoot-Out, Cantrell declared Kelly the favorite. "He's 6 mph faster than anybody else," said Cantrell. "Although there are four or five bikes that are real close, the only way anybody's going to stay with him is if he slows down." "He hasn't raced here in six months, so I'm surprised that he's doing so well," said promoter Henry DeGouw. "If he's 6 mph faster than everyone else, Cantrell must have a speed gun on him." Kelly was surprised that the other three riders stayed with him in the Shoot-Out.

"I can't believe that I couldn't shake them," said Kelly. "They were drafting well and not letting me get ahead. They stayed with me, but I never let them past." "He ran a great race," said Bray. "I couldn't get by him on that last lap. I would go wide and he'd cut me off.

Toward the end I was too busy fighting off Blais to try and go around Kelly." John Costa of Miami won the first-ever novice Shoot-Out race. He defeated David Kamps of Miami and Nathan Donohew of Daytona Beach. Kamps and Costa finished second and third in the Memorial Day Shoot-Out. That convinced DeGouw to add a novice Shoot-Out. "It's about time they gave us our own Shoot-Out," said Costa.

"We proved last time that we could run a race with the experts, but I guess that they decided to just give us a race. I'm glad they did." "I owed the novice riders a lot," said DeGouw. "They saved me last time and they put on a good show this time." Only 14 riders finished the novice Shoot-Out, but 86 riders started the race. "I was surprised that so many of us ran the Shoot-Out," said Costa. "I guess it just shows how much we set ride in Mercedes Cup victory Pace's 51.98 in the qualifying was .29 seconds off the Olympic Trials qualifying time of 51.69 sec onds.

He fell off to a 52.34 to Bier 's 52.07 in the final. "I had a flu that took me out for a week a couple of weeks ago," said Pace. "I lost about 10 pounds and I'm still not fully rested. I felt O.K. in qualifying, but I was tired in the final." Pace said he will compete Wednesday at Pine Crest and hopefully swim his best.

"A few more days rest and I should be ready," he said. Fort Lauderdale's Dyne Burrell set a meet record in winning the 100-meter freestyle in 57.93, but was .24 seconds off the Olympic qualifying time of 57.69. She could have qualified for the Trials by swimming under 57.69 in the lead-off leg of the 400-meter freestyle relay, but she fell short with a 57.92. "I feel good about my time, but I can do better," she said. "I'm not worried at all (about missing the cut)." Sunday Individual results Woman's 800 fresstyla Tricia Jackson, Mission Bay.

Gomez for Agassi said he was surprised by the speed of the red clay courts at the start of the Nabisco Grand Prix event. "I wasn't used to the speed of the courts, but I enjoyed playing here," said Agassi, who was seeded second and did not drop a set during the week-long event. "It was good preparation for next weekend's Davis Cup match against Argentina." Earlier in the day, Agassi edged 1984 Stuttgart winner Henri Le-conte of France 7-5, 7-5 in the rain-delayed semifinals, while Gomez beat Guillermo Perez-Roldan of Argentina 6-3, 6-1. The semifinals had to be rescheduled for Sunday morning after heavy rain washed out Saturday's program. a oKO fe If pager can be set to signal you with a high or low beep.

"Oh man, this feels great," said Kelly, as he sprayed champagne on the crowd. "What a day, baby, what a day!" Shaw, a Miami police officer, had won four consecutive Shoot-Out races during the last six months at Moroso.

He and Kelly are teammates in Endurance racing. "He ran great today," said Shaw. "I really couldn't do anything, my bikes had electrical problems today." Shaw finished fifth, but was never a serious contender. "I just figured that he would be in the running," said Kelly. "Rick had electrical problems all day, so I didn't really get a challenge from him, but I was looking over my shoulder." Kelly led the race from start to finish, but had three riders immediately behind him.

Miami residents Paul Bray and Kevin Blais and Jupiter's Scott Cantrell finished second, third and fourth respectively. All four riders finished within one second of each other. a straight Tennis Notes West Germany's Boris Becker battled to a 7-6 (7-2), 2-6, 6-3 victory over Jimmy Connors in Bremen, West Germany, his second exhibition victory over Connors in 24 hours. On Saturday in Munich, Becker beat Connors 7-5, 6-4 in one hour, 41 minutes. But on Sunday, the two-time Wimbledon champion needed two hours and 12 minutes to overcome Connors.
