a to. 8 The Daily Tar Heel Thursday, April 27, 1972 W10 eon season cut by David Zucchino Assistant Sports Editor The last hrne I talked with Larry Widgeon, he looked pale and sickly. It was a week ago 'luesday ard he had just finished hi daily preparation for last weekend's tri-meet with State and Duke. He was fighting a losing cause. "My faek is killing me,"1 he told me at the time. "I here's just no W3y to stop the pain. It loosens some when I'm running, but it really grabs me a few minutes after I stop." Widgeon had injured his back two days earlier in a steeplechase victory against South Carolina. But he didn't worry about it. for the same tpe of injury had bothered him over the past two years. I wo days later, he entered the hospital with severe back pains and a high temperature. w ideeon staved there over the weekend as h:s teammates rallied to a crucial ACC win over Duke and State. Then, on Tuesday morning, doctors diagnosed Widgeon's "Hack pams" as a kidney clot. He underwent surgery Tuesday afternoon. When I talked to him just a week earlier. Widgeon had every intention o! running three miles in the tn-meet in Raleigh. As he spoke, a teammate sitting a few rows hack in the Feter Field bleachers kidded him about trying to get out of the meet. Widgeon laughed right along with him. "I guess I'll just have to give up the steeplechase until I learn how to hurdle." he joked. "Tm clumsy. I have no form at all." I had to agree with him.

Widgeon whipped ever;.' opposing runner he faced in dual meets during this year's indoor and outdoor seasons and finished 12th in the nation in last spring's NCAA outdoor championships. He was headed for the nationals in the three-mile run again this spring when the kidney clot finished his college career. What's worse, it robbed him of precisely what he thrives on and what he's devoted his life to. "Track, is my life." he told me once last spring, and then proved it by stretching a brief 15-minute interview into a 90-minute discussion of track. He stopped talking oni because I had to leave. short Larry Widgeon lives and breathes the sport. From cross country . through the indoor season, to the outdoor season and back to cross country again, he has built his life around distance running. He's or. the track for eight miles a day. 5o5 das a . ear.

"My back should loosen up enough during the race to keep the pain from bothering me too much." Then he answered my final question. "Yes." he said, "1 'II win if I run." This time it was Widgeon who cut the conversation short. We were talking track, but the p3in had simply taken too much out of h im.
