TRACK AND FIELD CROWNS

unior Tracye Lawyer joined the tiny, illustrious group of athletes who have won consecutive heptathlon championships. This spring she successfully defended her 1997 heptathlon crown at the 1998 Pac-10 championship meet. She won four of the seven events and was no lower than second in the other three. Her career best - and a Stanford record of 5809 points - was the nation's highest this year. She also earned Stanford's Most Improved Player award.
