After capturing the SEC 5.000-meter championship last May, Lisa Breiding captured the same event, this time in the NCAA championship earlier this month in Indianapolis, Ind. The University of Kentucky freshman crossed the finish line first in a time of nine minutes, 11.39 seconds. She edged Texas' Liz Natle, who recorded a runner-up time of nine minutes. 12.04 seconds. "I'm so happy," Breiding told the Lexington Herald-Leader. "I had a lot of people cheering me on, so I wasn't alone out there. There's not a quiet space during the whole race." She held a five-yard lead entering the last lap. Natle pulled within a stride of the UK runner but could never catch her. "I dreamed it (winning the NCAA), but I wasn't sure how realistic that was," Breiding said. Kentucky's Audrey Pierce finished in ninth place with a time of nine minutes, 28.47 seconds. . .Future Kentucky Wildcats Rex Chapman and Donna Combs were selected the state's top male and female athletes of the year by the Associated Press. Chapman, a prep Ail-American hoopster will play for Eddie Sutton's club next season, while Combs, the state's top female runner in the 800-. 1.600-and 3,200-meter runs, will run for Coach Don Weber. "Those are great honors that you work for." Chapman told Mike Embry of the Associated Press. "You always want the attention. You'd rather be in that position than not." Combs took the 3,200-meters in 11:21.09 seconds, the 1,600 in 5:04.99 and the 800 in 2:18.22. . . Earlier this month Nor-ris Coleman, a 6-foot-8 power forward, announced that he would stay at Kansas State. He visited Kentucky and four other schools before deciding to stay at KSU. Other schools he looked at were: Louisiana State, Maryland, Virginia and Jacksonville. Late last season the NCAA determined that Coleman had to sit out a year because of a ruling on his high school grades. He earned a 2.1 grade-point-average in eight prep semesters. KSU had used this particular transcript. However, under NCAA guidelines a student's GPA is judged by the last six semesters. His GPA over six semesters was 1.97, thus not meeting requirements. Coleman, who had a 2.74 GPA at Kansas State, entered the Army after his high school graduation. Currently. Coleman has signed up for classes this summer at KSU and will not be eligible for competition until Feb. 28, 1987. He will have two seasons remaining after the '87 campaign. If he had attended another school he would have been eligible

at the start of the season. . . Al Baker, who will suit up for Coach Jerry Claiborne's football Wildcats this fall, won the 100- and 200-meter competitions at the state track meet. Baker, from Trigg County, took the 100 in a time of 10.83 seconds, and the 200 in 22.29. . Twenty-six University of Kentucky athletes have been honored to the 1986 SEC Academic Spring Honor Roll. The qualifications are that the student/athlete must earn a varsity letter and maintain at least a 3.0 grade-point average. "We're very proud of these student/athletes," said Cliff Hagan, UK's athletics director. "Bob Bradley (assistant athletics director of academics) and his staff in our CATS (Center for Academic and Tutorial Services) program have done an outstanding job once again. We're committed to making sure our student/athletes get an education and this confirms our progress in that area.". . .Kentucky golfer Steve Flesch drained a 25-foot putt on the final hole to capture the prestigious Lexington Braemar golf tournament. The sophomore-to-be from Edgewood recorded a one-under-par 71 to win by one shot at the Lexington Country Club. . .

ignored. I think Kentuckians have the capacity for being proud of more than accomplishment in basketball. Look at the basketball rosters of UK and U of L. How many Kentuckians do you find? Look at the football rosters of same. No contest. At the pro level check the accomplishments of native Kentuckians in the NFL and AFL over the past 200 years. Then check the same for the NBA. Again no contest. Perhaps the bread is buttered on the underside.
Some football experts predict there will be 25-30 legitimate major college footabll prospects in Kentucky next year. I daresay that's a number greater than will be signed to play major college basketball. I would like to read about those football players. I'm sure their communities, schools and families would like to do that too. If the press gets behind the sport and its players the game will improve. Nothing works like publicity. I would hope that you and the other noteworthy columnists in this state pick up the banner. Heaven knows, the KHSAA will never do it.
Corr ment: Mr. Aaron makes a good argument and there are numbers to support his position. Example: UK's athletic budget announced last week indicates Wildcat football will put $5+ million into the athletic coffers (7 home dates this autumn) while the basketball team (the schedule has 15 home dates next season) is projected to earn $2.3 million.
However, there are factors not taken into account here that fans have a right to know about.
 With few exceptions  Newport Central Catholic's Bob Schneider comes to mind  high school football coaches in Kentucky are not good at working closely

with the media to showcase their sport and those who play it. Example: Following one season recently little more than 60 percent of the all-state ballots sent to football coaches were filled out and returned.
On the flip side there are (precious few) coaches like Schneider who take the time and effort to mail flyers with photo and statistics and comments about his school's all-state candidates to members of the media. It makes a difference.
 Unlike prep basketball, high school football has no ballyhooed summer camps in Kentucky. And there are no formal talent rating services for football like those in Alabama. Louisiana and Florida. Talent rating systems not only help college coaches evaulate players, but give fans something to analyze, discuss, stay interested in year round.
 As Mr. Aaron implies, the KHSAA does little or nothing in the way of disseminating information or promotional material on prep football to media in Kentucky. In fact, a long time (and deserved) criticism of the.KHSAA is that it does virtually nothing in areas of media relations while for years avenues have been open to the organization to get its message to fans through the media.

Lou Holtz, explaining the clause in his contract as head football coach at Minnesota, that said he could break his pact with Gopher football if the Notre Dame job came open: "I love my wife dearly," he said, "and I've been married to her for 25 years. But if Linda Evans called..."
