Grayhounds
highlight came of their season.
"That was about as close to a
perfect game v> e could play,"
Williford said. "We did everything
right, everything we had to do to
win. We were surprised to win the
way we did. but this what we want
ed to do. win and play for the
national championship."
While one team will be play
ing next week, another Winston
Salem team will not be joining
them. The Pfafftown Packers Jr.
Pee Wee team, which last year won
the national championship in San
Jose. Calif., did not get an invita
tion to defend its title.
from page B 1
The Packers received a bye in
the regionals when its opponent -
failed to send in its registration
materials. That should have
enhanced his team's chances to
play in the nationals, McDaniel
said, but he realized that only 25
out of nearly 7.000 organizations
actually receives a bid.
Randy Jones ? frompageB1
standout at Duke. -for the team. And
like most of his current teammates,
he didn't know anything about the
sport.
So imagine his surprise when
he was named as one of the five
men selected after the tryouts in
Lake Placid. N.Y. Jones became a
near-instant smash when he placed
first in the National Push Champi
onships with only two days of prac
tice. Jones owes his berth to an ath
letic-background that he said pre
pared him for the sport.
"Bobsledding is about 80 per
cent football and 20 percent track."
said Jones, who received a degree
in mechanical engineering last year.
"You have to use mostly your legs
during the event. So leg strength is
stressed through exercises and
weight lifting.''
But the difference in having
good athletes and a good team is
teamwork. Most of the European
groups have spent years developing
a chemistry, while the U.S. contin
gent ? a motley crew of members
coming from different parts of
the country ? are receiving on-__
the-job training at the highest

level possible.
The inexperience shows itself
in the results. The U.S. team fin
ished tenth and seventeenth in its
most recent outings, and with one
of its drivers hurt in the five-man
event, that puts the onus on Jones,
who also races in the two-man com
petition, to contribute even more to
his team's success.
"Last year, we were winning
everything in sight. But with the
Olympics coming up; r guess more
teams are serious about winning,"
Jones said. "Plus, the Bodine sleds
we have been using have not been
performing as well as we expected.
We've raced on them twice and
we've been a little disappointed."
The group has also received a
less than favorable response from
their European hosts. Jones said he
detects "a snotty attitude'' when the
U.S. team uses their facilities and
an impatience from others, particu
larly towards the the black partici
pants. Jones was in Germany when
a racial incident involving the beat
ing of a member of the U.S. luge
team while his black teammate w is
taunted. While he admitted the act
infuriated him, Jones conceded he
was not totally shocked.
"Those people that did that
were Neo-Nazis. They are in Amer
ica, so obviously they're over here,''
Jones said. "From what 1 know,
they were at a place where they
shouldn't have been. But it didn't
shock me. I mean, if we're having
problems over here (in the U.S.),
why should I expect it to be differ
ent anywhere else?"
One thing Jones has thought
about is his future after the Games.
While he admits he is anxious to do
other things outside of athletics,
Jones said that he has not ruled out
the next Winter Games. But for
now, the Winston-Salem native is
concentrating about bringing home
a medal.
"We have to work on a lot of
getting in sync, putting things
together so we can be in a position
to win in the medal rounds." Jones
said. "Whenever I go home, I get
asked 'What is bobsledding?' Well,
if I can bring home a medal, hope
fully it will open up some people's
eyes about the sport."
