Thlrlby won four events during the two day event. He won the 500cc and 350cc Runabout finals on Saturday and Sunday.

Winter Haven's Alan Garbrecht set a new APBA record in the 45 SS Hydro class with a three lap average speed of 70.478 MPH.

Pearson, running with the Runners Club, finished first overall with a time of 15:32, tying his personal best. "I sure can't blame it on the weather," Pearson said. "It was perfect weather.

Samantha Nelson, representing the All County Track Team (second in Special Teams), was the first female to finish the race with a time of 19:25.

Ron Rowsey of Lakeland finished second, but because he did riot represent a team won the first-place individual trophy. Rowsey finished the race with a time of 16:10.

a "I went out extra fast on purpose," Rowsey said. "I don't know if it helped me or hurt me, but I finished better today than in my last race." The overall first-place trophy winner for the females was Mary Lou Hammond of Lakeland, with a time of 19:50. The Runners Club consisted of Pearson (first), Eddie Hensley (fourth), Rick Zalanka (22nd) and Jay Maguire (24th). Placing second in the Special Teams Division was the All County Track Team with a score of 64 points, while the female Lakeland Runners Club took third with 350 points.

"I'm not disappointed. The girls did the best that they could do and morale was always high.

That's all I could ask of anyone. We could sit and cry I don't like to lose either, you know. (But) it's not in my makeup."

He is in charge of compiling the records of more than 100 schools to determine who will earn a trip to the national tournament in California. Jeffries said 32 women are chosen for singles along with 16 doubles teams. Speaking of Rogers' chances of returning to the national tournament, Jeffries said he doesn't know. "Right now we're in limbo, but no matter what, we're very proud of her," Jeffries said. In the newcomer category, Jeffries said freshman Julie Esper, in the No.

5 position, also met with misfortune, but served as an inspiration to the team because of her attitude. "She did a great job, then got mono (mononucleosis) after the spring. At that point she was 7-5," Jeffries said. "She had a very positive attitude. She always wanted to do more at practice and stay longer.

It was reflected in her singles record at that point." By MARLENE ANSOTEGUI Tribune Correspondent Florida Southern College tennis coach Ed Jeffries said his team finished as well as it could have under the less-than-favorable circumstances that arose during the 1988 season. Jeffries said his team was plagued with some problems that may have made a difference fn the team's overall performance. The Mocs finished with an 8-14 team record. Jeffries said even though No. 1 player Kim Rogers was hindered because of an injury, she displayed the leadership he expected from the lone senior.

"She played four years and did a great job," Jeffries said of the two-time All-Conference player. "Last year she had a back injury that was giving her trouble, and this year she had an ankle injury that caused her to miss three matches." Rogers' personal record this year, 10-9, certainly doesn't compare to her record last year, 16-8, and there is only an outside chance Polk County By ROBY HELM Tribune Sports Writer LAKELAND Jimmy Castleberry held off a hard-charging rookie, Eddie King went bounty hunting and Richard Brinson never looked back in winning races during the weekend at Lakeland Interstate Speedway and Aubumdale Speedway.

Baseball tourney to begin today Jeffries said because of Esper's departure from the roster, the doubles team of Esper and freshman Sophia Henk was terminated, and he was faced with the task of finding another doubles team that would have the same chemistry as the last pair did. "She and Sophi were doing a great job." Jeffries said. "They were 8-4 when Sophi got sick." According to Jeffries, the season didn't go as smoothly as was expected. Looking back on the season, while the girls finished with a losing record, they were 7-3 against Division II schools but 1-11 against Division I schools. And in the Sunshine State Conference tournament, which only consisted of FSC, Eckerd and St.

Leo, the Mocs won 5-4 against Eckerd and 8-1 against Saint Leo.

It was definitely something you can turn on." The home run was the final step in Leach's big day, and it was something he was well aware of when he stepped to the plate in the sixth. "A bunch of guys on the team made me aware of it in the dugout," he said. "I just wanted to hit something hard and hopefully out." His drive cleared the fence in right-center field by approximately eight feet. "Chris Leach was usinR the By BOB McCLURE Tribune Sports Writer LAKELAND Considering Chris Leach is a batter, it's hard to believe he possibly could be stuck in a hitting slump. But that's the way the senior from Jamestown, R.I., looked at it Saturday before Florida Southern College's 8-7 win over Rollins College at Henley Field.

He knew he needed a strong game, but had no idea it would be one of the biggest of his collegiate career. Leach, Southern's starting center fielder, hit for the cycle with a leadoff triple, a second Inning double, a single in the fourth and a home run in the sixth. "I came out of a slump," Leach said in a bit of an understatement. "I was pressing too much (earlier in the week) against the University of Tampa and I think I was three for my last 17 coming into (Saturday's) game. "I just wanted to hit the ball hard and use the whole field." With the exception of a ninth-inning strikeout against Rollins reliever Dave Flynn, he did just that.

Leach went 4-for-5 and drove in two runs, raising his batting average seven points to .424 and his team-leading RBI total to 47. All of the damage came against Rollins right-hander Mark Sonaglia, who gave up eight runs on 13 hits the first 513 innings. "He (Sonaglia) didn't seem to Photograph by DONNA LYNCH left, just misses on the tag of Tampa's Tino Martinez at thrid base i ift i en "He (Hudek) Just went through the motions in the ninth inning and didn't get the job done," said Anderson. "You've got to out there with a killer instinct whether you're leading by one run or five runs. It just wasn't good relief pitching.

I'm just glad it was a closer ball game." Southern played at Rollins Sunday afternoon. The Mocs return to play Tuesday in Melbourne against the Florida Institute of Technology. Southern's next home game is Wednesday at 2 p.m. against FIT at Marchant Stadium. whole park today, foul line to foul line," said FSC coach Chuck Anderson.

"That's just good hitting." Shortstop Dino Ebel collected a pair of singles to extend his hitting streak to 10 games, but designated hitter Jimmy Hitt went 0-for-3 and ended a seven-game hitting streak. Pitchers James Hurst and John Hudek combined to limit Rollins to nine hits. Hudek, who picked up his sixth win of the season out of the bullpen, gave up a ninth-inning grand slam to Rollins' Doug Dvorak, cutting the final margin to one run. A.
