"I was slow on my start," she explained, "but after awhile I started to get better." Two Elmira Heights girls, Leslie Butcher and Audrey Seals set records in the 100-meter hurdles and the 100-yard dash. Butcher broke the old mark set in 1976 by Dryden's Bowker (17.4) with a 16.9 while Sea les erased her record in the 100 dash set in last year's meet (11.9) by a scant tenth of a second. While Sea les was setting the new 100 time, however, a freshman from Dryden, Amy Ross, was close on her heels, just unable to catch the Heights speedster as she crossed the finish line. Ross got a second chance in the 220 and took advantage of it as she tore from the starting blocks and mounted a lead that Seals could not overcome. The result was the closest finish of the day and a new record of 26.7 set by the Dryden frosh phenom.

Seals clocked a 27.3 which was the exact time she had last year at th, meet. Then it was good for a record; Tuesday it simply wasn't enough. For Ross, the win was a dream come true as she awaited the chance to compete against Seals in the 220 after losing to her by just .02 earlier in the season. "She (Seals) waa a big factor in the race," Ross said of her record-breaking run. "I was pretty psyched up for it.

I just wanted to go out and do my best." Eight Tiger firsts The Tigers had eight first places in their convincing victory. Teri Evans was a double winner, taking the 880 in 2:32.3 and the long jump at 15-10.

Tioga triumphs Records By ESTHER ELKIN Journal Writer DRYDEN Whoever coined the phrase records were made to be broken must have given the pre-meet pep talk to the participants here in Tuesday's Interscholastic Athletic Conference girls track meet. A total of six meet records fell at Volante Field, as new times were established in the 100-meter hurdles, 100-yard dash, mile run, 880 relay, 220 and the high jump. While all the records were being set, Tioga was making history of its own. The Tigers racked up 104 points to complete an undefeated season and to yin the team title for the first time ever.

Elmira Heights and host Dryden were tied for second place with 68 points, but the Tioga team seemed to feel the meet was closer than the final score indicated. "It was real close," sophomore Jenny Moore said. "The relays and distance races made the difference." Record for Karen Snyder Tiger senior Karen Snyder took the two-mile run in a time of 12 :42.3, but it was her clocking in the mile race, a 5 :41.5, that etched her name in the record books once again. Snyder set the previous record of 5:46.0 at last year's IAC meet. She also holds the two-mile record of 11 :57.8 which she failed to break this time.

Although she lapped a number of Red crew readies for IRA SYRACUSEThe Cornell crew, winner of only one race this year, is in tough as expected, in the annual regatta of the Intercollegiate Rowing Association here on Onondaga Lake. All the sweepswingers will be hard at it Thursday when the regatta begins at 7:30 a.m. And those who don't qualify directly for Saturday's final will have a second chance on Friday. The Big Red varsity eight will row at 11:15 a m. in a heat with Dartmouth, Penn, Brown and Syracuse.

The second heat will include Northeastern, MIT, Boston Columbia and Wisconsin. Heat winners will advance to the finals. So will the first two crews in the Friday repechages.

Five Redment make lacrosse CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) Four players from NCAA champion Johns Hopkins and two from runner-up Maryland have been named to the 1979 NCAA Division I All-America lacrosse team. Navy, Massachusetts, Syracuse, North Carolina and Virginia each placed one player on the first team of the 84-man squad chosen by a coaches' committee. Cornell midfielder Reiley McDonald was named to the second team, one of five Cornell players named to the squad. Goalie John Griffin was named to the third team, while attackman Ned Gerber, mid-die John Mutch and defenseman Jim Buckley were all honorable mention selections.

Former Ithaca High stars Chris Sweet, now at UMass, and Tony Cullen, now at Duke, were also named to the All-American team. Sweet, a senior, was named to the first team attack, while Cullen, a Junior, was named to the honorable mention attack. Johns Hopkins placed three repeaters on the first team goalie Mike Federico and midfielders Scott Baugher and Dave Huntley. (Ail 41i 46.... al 8118 1 1 itt 4'.

Storch blanks Lansing as Heights 9 reaches final Leaper Hoy Field for the overall title. Groton and Union Springs' game was postponed Tuesday, and will be played today at 4 p.m. at Groton's Ross Field.

Both teams stilll have sectional games left. The Section 4 tourney, with its new four-class format, starts Tuesday. Starch left Lansing hitters frustrated and confused here Tuesday. He changed speeds often, keeping the Bobcats off-balance at the plate, and mixed in a sharp-breaking curve ball that had many Lansing batsmen leaning on their heels. Starch finished with 10 strikouts, and walked only two.

Starch's own throwing error (the only time he missed his target by much all afternoon) in the second set up Lansing's only serious scoring threat in the second. Lansing's David Longhouse hit a dribbler to the left of the mound, but Starch hurried his throw and missed first baseman Matt Jurusik. Long-house wound up on second base, and stole third two pitches later. But Starch got Larry Van strand to hit to the box, and Linc Phillips to fly to right before walking Tony D'Agostino. D'Agostino stole second, but Starch stranded both runners when he fanned Duane Baker.

"That's just experience," said Heights coach Tom Cheplick. "Mike's played a lot of ball at this point, and he pitched a lot for us last year. A little pressure doesn't bother him anymore." Frazier in trials TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) Marvis Frazier has an opportunity to do something his famous father, former world heavyweight champion Joe Frazier, couldn't do: make the Pan-American Games boxing team. Young Frazier, already 6-foot-1, 192 pounds and still growing at 18, starts after that goal tonight in the United States trials for the Pan-Am Games. Tioga a league Evans and she Sonics, up remember SEATTLE (A?) Dennis Johnson says the Seattle SuperSonics only have to remember last year to keep from squandering their lead in the National Basketball Association championship playoffs against the Washington Bullets.

"Everybody on this team is remembering last year," said Johnson after the Sonics defeated the Bullets 114412 in overtime Tuesday night to go ahead 3-1 in the best-of-seven finals. "We had the lead then and relaxed. The next thing we knew, we were being blown out." Last year, the Sonics led in the final series 3-2, but got pasted in Game Six in Washington, 117-82, and the Bullets went on to win the championship. The next game in this series will be played Friday in Landover, with Game Six, if necessary, here on Sunday and Game Seven in Landover next Wednesday. Dennis Johnson also said it doesn't mean a thing that the Bullets were down 3-1 against San Antonio in the Eastern Conference finals and came back to win the series, only the third time in NBA history such a comeback was made in the playoffs.

It has never been done in the championship round. "We're not the Spurs," said Johnson, who tipped the last Bullets shot into the hands of teammate Jack Sikma with three seconds remaining in the overtime. "We don't get all the publicity that the Spurs do, but they don't play defense like us. We aren't your average team. We're not going to lose the 3-1 lead." Dennis Johnson and Gus Williams, the two Sonics guards, once again paced Seattle.

They got 32 and 36 points, respectively. They got lots of help inside from Sikma, who had 20 points, 17 rebounds, five blocked shots and aided in getting Washington's three big men Elvin Hayes, Bobby Dandridge and Wes Unseld to foul out of the game. Motta perturbed Washington Coach Dick Motta was angered about those foul calls, claiming San Antonio Coach Doug Moe set the stage for them when he criticized the referees after the final game of the Eastern Conference playoffs. "In that last game, the referees were accused of favoring the champion Bullets," said Motta. "I honestly feel we are the victims of Doug Moe's outburst.

Seattle played the last 14 minutes and did not have a foul called against them. I am very upset. "I don't believe you can play an NBA game and not have a foul called on a team in the last 14 minutes," said Motta. Actually, the Sonics had two fouls called against them in the last 16: 28, but none in the last 8:47. Sonics Coach Lenny Wilkens said his team knew it had to win.

"It was a must game for both teams and we knew they were going to go all out. There was a lot of tension, so our team was tight in the beginning." The Bullets finally had their guards break out of their shooting slump with Kevin Grevey and Charlie Johnson hitting for 18 points apiece. Hayes also scored 18, while Dandridge and Unseld had 16 each. "We can still win this thing," contended Grevey. "We have come back from being down 3-1 before.

But it will be tougher this time. Seattle was not San Antonio; they're a much better team, especially ly." Sonics forward John Johnson, referring to his team's 26-of-39 foul shooting, said: "If we had hit our free throws, we wouldn't have had to go into overtime. We maintained five and six-point leads in the second half, but then we eased up and gave them the opportunity to come back." John Johnson also said he did not think he team would let up in Friday's game: "We've been there before and know what it takes. We're not going to relax until we get the fourth one." Dennis Johnson just kept repeating: "We're on top, 3-1. We're on top, 3-1."

Technical Hayes, Washington assistant coach Bickerstaff. Atlanta goalie has rib injury ATLANTA (AP) Atlanta Chiefs goalkeeper Tad Delorm won't start in tonight's North American Soccer League match against Seattle because of a month-old rib injury. Delorm, who says he didn't play well against Los Angeles last weekend, says he doesn't agree with Coach Dan Wood's decision to keep him out of the game but added, "I respect Dan's decision." "I'd rather have Tad rest, Wood said. The rib injury isn't "very serious, but it does hamper him in practice." Backup goalie Bob Robson will make his first start for the Chiefs tonight. In all, Lansing could manage only five base runners, and Jim Kick's weak roller up the middle was the only blot on Storch's nearperfect day.

Lansing had other problems Tuesday besides Storch. The Bobcats were forced to start their No. 3 pitcher, D'Agostino, because No. 1, Don Hardisky, was hurt Saturday in a game against Spencer-Van Etten, and No. 2, Longhouse, had a pinched nerve in his pitching shouLder.

D'Agostino turned in an effort that would have won most other days as he allowed only four hits, walking two and striking out seven. He struggled through the first four innings, then retired the last 10 Spartan batters in a succession. "I can't complain today," Lansing coach Joe Bowers said. "We played well even though we had four players out of position, and Tony pitched a super game. We just didn't hit." Elmira Heights nicked D'Agostino for an unearned run in the third, then scored another run in the fourth.

Rick Rice tripled to left with one out, and scored when Lansing third baseman Van strand overthrew first after fielding Bill Haskins' grounder. In the fourth, Frank Hungerford singled and went to second on Rich Case's infield out. Then, after Joe Piasecki popped out, Hungerford scored on Mike Kane's single to left. El. Hats.

And the Elmira Heights hurler did just that here Tuesday afternoon as he blanked Lansing, 2-0, in one IAC league playoff semifinal. Storch, 4-3, one-hit the Bobcats, who had reached the playoffs as the wild card entrant. Elmira Heights had won the Division A title with a 9-1 record, and improved to 13-3 overall.
