There were no Canadian medals in men's track, where Kenya swept the 400 metres, 110-metre hurdles and steeplechase while Don Quarrie of Jamaica repeated his 1970 triumph in the 100 metres. Raelene Boyle of Australia was also a repeat winner in the women's sprint as Marjorie Bailey of Vancouver, the only Canadian finalist, finished sixth.

Webb admitted he didn't figure on a sweep of medals. "I thought there might be the possibility of a sweep but I didn't think it would really happen. It's a bit too much to expect in a competition of this calibre." Miss Boys said she didn't think the three Canadian medallists viewed each other as their own toughest competition. "No, we didn't think of having to beat each other any more than beating the English and Australian girls." "I didn't really expect to win. I was really nervous and the nervousness didn't really go away." The slim blonde daughter of former football star Dick Shatto scored a total of 430.88 points, with Miss Boys a close second for the silver.

Miss Shatto's victory was all the more remarkable because her coach thought that at the age of 16 the Toronto schoolgirl just didn't have enough international experience to pull it off. "Cindy had never been in this big event before, where the medals were in reach, and 1 didn't know exactly how she might react," Webb said. "Surprised? Yes, I was," Cindy said.

CHRISTCUURCU, N.Z. (CP) It was a surprise to both of them, Canada's new Commonwealth springboard diving queen, Cindy Shatto, and coach Don Webb.
