"The javelin is about as light as a baseball. I thought it'd be heavy. I picked it up, threw it and it went about 20 feet," Sch­ weitzer recalled. That first toss two years ago was just the beginning. The Cary-Grove High School graduate learned seven new events, practiced and became Harper Junior Col lege ' s premier decathlete. Schweitzer's work paid off last month when he placed f fourth in the National Junior College Meet in Odessa, Texas. He racked up 6,842 points while leaping t three places from his snowing one year earlier. While at Cary-Grove, Schweitzer tossed the shot, polevaulted and ran the hurdles. Decathlons aren't a part of prep track. "I talked about it with Coach (C-G coach Rick McKelvey) in high school. We decided to go with it in college. I talked to the coacn at Harper and decided to try it," Sch­ weitzer said. It's a decision he has questioned, but never regretted. "Once in a while. Once this year it got to the point where a all I did was train and train. I was lookin; forward to my first me an we ended up having crappy weather. The first day it rained and the second it snowed. I still felt real good, though," he said. This year's national meet was only Schweitzer's fifth decathlon. When he started during freshman year at Harper, every day brought a new experience. "I never had long jumped or high jumped, did the discus or javelin. I messed around a bit with the discus. The field events came easier because I had shotputted. The quickness helped," Schweitzer, 20, said. Schweitzer, never a great distance runner, found himself in the 1,500-meter event. Add to that the 400- and 100-meter dashes, and his running shoes got quite a workout. He finishea the 100 in 11.4, the 400 in 54.2 and the 1,500 in 4:50.2 "That distance," he said with a smile while shaking his head. "I made up points in the field events where I'm stronger." Schweitzer made himself forget about his first javelin toss by clearing 198-10 at nationals. He pole vaulted 13-7, high jumped 6-5, long jumped 21-7 and put the 16- pound s shot 45-10. Schweitzer, whose hur- Carlson, another collegiate decathlete, found the higher hurdles tough to get used to. But he still finished the 110- meter variety in 15.2 seconds. Two Harper coaches - Joe Vitton and Renne Zelinar helped Sch­ weitzer. "He (Vitton) helped me running and in the pole vault. I never had running form in high school. It was 'do this,' in high school, and you do it. The two of them worked with me." Schweitzer said he was shooting for a top three finish, but a change in the tables (standards set for the decathlon's events) shorted Schweitzer 110 points. "We figured it out ana I would've ended up third." There are no regrets. Schweitzer competed in a 20,000-seat high school stadium, proving that Texans do indeed love their football. And his Harper career has paid off with a scholarship to Illinois State University in Normal. "I'm happy with that. That was one of my goals - to get a scholarship," said Schweitzfr, who majors in marketing with a minor in secondary phys ica l education. With two national meets under his belt, can the NCAA meet be far behind? 'I'd like to maybe If I do, my goal is top six, if that far. Then it depends on what I do the following year. That year would by 1988. I'd love to go to the Olympics, but I'm not going to say whether I am or not. qualify, the topi "Whatever happens, happens. I'll live with it." He'll also live with the knowledge that in 1985, there were only three junior college decathletes better than himself. That isn't a bad thought at all. SPORTS FANS.
