Eleven women, each from a different sport had advanced to the final. On the first day of competition, Laura Ching, who barely qualified for the final, was a surprise leader with second place finishes in swimming and rowing. Softball's Joan Joyce easily won the bowling with a 181 score. Basketball player Karen Logan easily defeated all her competitors in tennis while volleyball player Mary Jo Peppler defeated Ching in rowing and Olympic diving champion Micki King beat Ching in swimming to move within one point of the lead after four events. Wyomia Tyus, Olympic 100 meter champion in 1964 and '68, withdrew from the competition after the first day. Logan defeated King in the 60 yard dash, but the second place finish moved King into the lead. King extended her lead by defeating Logan in the quarter mile run. However, it was Peppler who took the overall crown. Peppler surged into the lead with a runner-up finish in the bike race and then wins in the softball throw and the basketball event. Entering the obstacle course, an event in which Peppler elected not to participate, Peppler led with 41 points, followed by Logan with 38 and King with 34. Logan, who needed just a third place in the obstacle course, recorded the second fastest time, but was charged with a penalty for failing to grasp the last bar on the monkey bars. King also had a chance to win, but she dislodged the bar on the high jump and finished fourth in the obstacle course, giving the first Women's Superstars title to Peppler. See less
