Spartan Coach Steve Barr, who had been worried about East's talent, was delighted with Memorial's fourth consecutive city championship and its 12th in the 14 years. "Aubey gave us a good pace, and we really ran well as a team today," he said. "DiVall was right where he should be. Burns ran better, and so did Anderson." Coach Rick Rogness, who was hoping for the first East title in city history, was a bit disappointed, but his Purgolders placed five runners in the top 13.

Dave Von Blarcom (16:35) was fourth, but West had two finishers, Bill Morgan (16:56) and Tim Kiemel across in front of his third runner, Rick Kotlowski. k. ii mm mm J' i t) I $rf I til VARSITY Team tcores: Memorial 27, East 39, West 65. La Follette 86. 1, Rob Aubey, M.

l-cz Madison Memorial's Rob Aubey nears the finish line in a course record-setting time in the city cross country meet. State Journal photos by A. Craig Benson By Don Lindstrom State Journal Sports Writer Madison Memorial's Rob Aubey successfully completed a fourth phase of his personal prep cross country goal when he ran in course record time in winning the annual Madison city championship Wednesday afternoon. Aubey dethroned East's Mark Kot-lowski and became the first Spartan champion since Dick Baldwin in 1975 by covering the Yahara Hills Cross Country Course in a stunning record clocking of 16 minutes, 4 seconds. The strong Spartan junior, who I now has the opportunity next year to I become only the fifth city runner to win back-to-back championships, has dominated the Janesville Midwest Invitational, Holy Name Relays, Big Eight and city titles.

Had he won an earlier Madison West Invitational instead of placing second to Stevens Point's Keith Hanson, he would have been the first city runner ever to win all five of the major local runs. Aubey coasted to his record by 24 seconds and it smashed his own mark set in a West-Memorial dual meet ear- lier this season. "I was really tired after the first mile, and Kotlowski was four, five yards ahead of me, but I sure didnt think I was running that fast," he said. "That's my best time ever." Aubey caught Kotlowski at about 1 miles and never wavered in build- 1 ing his lead. He also joined a Spartan elite of Ron Crawford, Dan Cautley, Joe McGhee, Dirk Seibold, Mike Phillips, Mark Eames, John Barker and Baldwin who have won city titles.

Only four runners Central's Bill Aldrich, Cautley, West's Ken Wilkening and Tim Lindstrom have won two consecutive titles. Aubey's victory led Memorial to another city team title as the Spartans tallied 27 points. East, which had charged ahead of Memorial to threaten Sun Prairie's champions in last Saturday's Big Eight meet, trailed by 12 points at 39. West had 65 and La Follette 86. Kotlowski, deprived of a second straight title, suffered only his second loss to Aubey this season, but he also beat the old metric course record at 16:20.

He had outrun Aubey last fall to win the city title over a three-mile course in 15:37. Memorial placed all five of its counting runners in the top 10, and re- ceived a major assist from West in spreading out the East runners. Spartan John DiVall was close to the previous course record when he ran third in 16:32. Dave Burns (fifth at Rick Anderson (eighth at 17:02) and Dave Siverhus (10th at 17:08) were the other West's Olson continues vr. -V, Ellen Olson LJ.V Ji iL.

Docter (11:51) and Memorial's Karen Harris (11:53) also beat the 12-minute mark for second and third place. Trailing were former city champion, Lucy Harrington (12:06) and Ishmael Memorial's fifth finisher was Kristy Ninneman in 12th place.

West meanwhile, without Davey, placed four in th6 top 10, but a fifth girl came in 15th. East was led by Shelle Burse and Traci Beihoffer, who wound up eighth and ninth at 12:33 and 12:34. "I'm really in top shape right now," chuckled Olson, who was a little surprised by her excellent clocking. "I didn't think I'd beat her (Docter) by that much." Olson left no doubt After the first mile she had a lead ranging from 10 to 15 yards over both Harris and Docter. Then she extended it to almost 30 ir, the final half mile and eventually won by more than 75 yards.

i Memoriol also won the junior varsity race with 19 points, 21 under La Follette. East's Kathy Martin took individual honors at 13:10. She was well ahead of Memorial's Meg Peterson and Becky Templeton, who ran 13:28 and 13:35 for second and third.

Former Badger gridder Lestdr Leitl dead at 81 PLATTEVILLE (AP) Lester "Butch" Leitl, a former football and basketball coach at what is now the UW-Platteville, died Tuesday in a hospital at Dubuque, Iowa. He was 81, Leitl, who graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1927, played tackle for the Badger football team from 1924-26. Leitl was best remembered for his antics during a 1926 below-zero contest at Iowa. Because of the severe temperatures, Leitl was able to sneak into the Iowa huddle and steal the Hawk-eyes' plays without being noticed. Leitl joined the Platteville staff In 1927 and coached basketball for 20 years and football for 37.

In football, he had three undefeated teams, won five state college championships and posted a cumulative record of 192-94-14. Funeral services for the Sturgeon Bay native will be held today.

The blond Regent senior shattered the Yahara Hills Cross Country Course record by a full 11 seconds and' easily mastered her top challenger, Memorial's Sarah" Docter, for the second time this season in the fourth annual city girl's championship over the course. The Spartans successfully toppled West from the team championship, but Olson captured the spotlight as she ran the course in 11 minutes, 28 seconds to become the first city girl ever to win two consecutive titles.

She finished 33 seconds ahead of Docter, who had beaten Olson earlier this season in the Janesville Midwest Invitational. Olson, however, had gained revenge last Saturday in the Big Eight Conference race, but that was by only six seconds. This performance is remarkable. Less than 10 girls have ever broken the 12-minute mark on the course and this time she cracked a record of 11 :39 set on Sept. 24 in the West-Memorial dual by Memorial's Katie IshmaeL more senior and junior experience, while West has a lot of youth, a very good freshman group." While the captains would like to lead by example to their all-time best performances, that achievement would take some doing.

Lueder felt the 50 freestyle was her best event last year, despite a better state placing in the 100, when she swam 55.036 seconds. "I would have predicted the opposite. My high point of my swim career came when I was a sophomore and we set a state 200 medley relay record. I anchored it with a :24.6 split The team had Theresa Senn, Joanne Toomey and Kathy Graham. We made all-American with that time Best open 50 I've had is :25.2 and my best 100 is :55.0 at the state." Lueder has been swimming competitively since age 10, including the summer programs.

She claims she's enjoying this West team more than any other during her career. "This is my best year," said Lueder. "I'm enjoying it and the team is very close together. Brad uses.a lot of 190, Sue Bennett 537-194, Barb Slinde 534-213. Morning: Pat Daggett 559-214, Joan Pazekuiot 528-188.

Ron Nelson 707 (210-240-257), By Don Lindstrom State Journal Sports Writer Memorial's Sue Horinek, one of several Madison prep all-American I swimmers, feels that there might be "too much pressure being put on this 1 one, and it shouldn't be compared to the (WIAA) state meet." I Her West adversary, Cindi Lueder, I another prep all-American, tends to agree. "Sure, it's going to be a big one, but the state is a lot more important. If we don't win this one it isn't every-i thing." That pressure-packed event com-; ing up? It's the annual Memorial-West I Big Eight Conference dual meet, and despite what two of the team captains claim, it still may be the biggest meet in their swimming rivalry.

1 Memorial has never lost a dual in its girls' swimming history. It carries I a six-year string of 34 consecutive Big Eight victories into today's meet, which has been shifted from the West pool to the UW Natatorium. "That's a tradition from which to I take pride, but each Memorial team is different, and this one has no thoughts If there is a time that West can topple Memorial, it's believed to be now. "It's really kind of even," said Lueder, a state-meet fourth-place finisher in the 100 freestyle. "At Brook-field we did better, but the lineups were switched a little for the North Star.

It's no excuse for losing, but we had our school homecoming last Saturday, and I don't believe 'our swimmers did have full concentration on their events." Horinek will not concede that West is better, but adds, "Maybe they have a slight edge on us in depth, but in a meet like the sectional where we enter only two girls in an event we could be better." What's the roles of the team captains in a meet such as this? Leadership falls on West's Jenny Schienle and Lueder, and Memorial's Jennifer King and Horinek All claim their teams, despite shifts in coaching techniques, are "extremely close full of comradery and strong at every event" "The North Star win was not a real big surprise for us," said Horinek "I feel a big factor is that we have a lot Two years ago Docter had run 11:40 across the road on the Yahara Hills golf course for the previous two-mile record. Memorial took the next four places behind Olson and beat West's defending champions for the fourth time this season. The Spartans, coached by Mark Parish, scored 26 points and clinched their first city title since Docter won the race in 1978. West, competing without one of its top runners, sophomore Liz Davey, weight work, and I would say we're stronger individually. We'd like to have the meet in our own pool, but we're glad it's been shifted to the Nat.

It does add more pressure." Horinek, who concentrates on individual medley and butterfly, looks back on her biggest thrill also coming in a freestyle relay. "We put together a 400 relay in the Big Eight that won in 3:39.6, and that gave us all-American. Julie Sergenian, Heidi Heineke and Mary Coluccy were on the relay. My best 200 IM (2:14.009) came when I was a sophomore. Last year I won consolation at the state in the butterfly, but the IM is my favorite." Horinek's best friend is King, a distance freestyler, and they've swam together in summer programs.

"We swam with the Badger Dolphins, and have traveled to Minnesota and Florida. I did qualify for the 100 IM and the 50 freestyle in the Nationals."

They both retain interest in their teams, and under Emshoff, Memorial has won 117 meets since 1971. Both teams have 4-0 Big Eight dual records this season.

Added rivalry comes from the two coaches, both former UW stars. West, coached by ex-Regent swimmer, Brad Horner, beat Memorial in the Brookfield East Invitational. Memorial coached by a former Spartan and UW standout, Todd Sievert, retaliated in last Saturday's Waukesha North Star. But this one is different It's a dual and whoever wins will have the edge in the Big Eight perhaps for the rest of the seasoa It's not the only attraction. The two teams will be involved in a telephone dual with one of Florida's 1979 state runner-up, Orlando Lyman High School.
