Logan won the first two events, tennis and the 352 yard run. The 352 yards was a one-fifth mile event, due to the fact that a 1/4 mile track could not fit in the Astrodome. Peppler came on to win four events, including a 207 foot, 6 and 1/2 inch toss in the softball throw, which was the most impressive performance of the event. With six spots in the final up for grabs, gymnast Cathy Rigby grabbed the sixth spot in the standings with a third place finish in the obstacle course. When qualified finalists Sheila Young and Billie Jean King could not participate, seventh place finisher Paula Sperber was added to the field of finalists. See less
