Hazen Vaulter Hospitalized

BURIEN - Gary Smotherman, a Hazen High School junior, was listed in serious condition last night at Harborview Medical Center after suffering head injuries in a pole vault accident at the Seamount League championship track meet at Highline Stadium.

Smotherman, the top seed in the event after clearing 13 feet last week, was injured on his third jump yesterday, his second attempt at 11-6. He cleared the bar, but veared badly to the right and missed the padded pit area, landing on his head directly on the track.

Smotherman was unconscious and bleeding from his head when taken from the stadium by ambulance, but he was moving his arms and legs. Hazen Coach Bo Kurle said Smotherman apparently suffered a severe concussion.

Eric Faull of Renton won the pole vault at 12-0. Smotherman actually finished fifth, which qualified him for next Friday's Class AA Sea-King District meet.

The Seamount League meet continues today with field events beginning at 2 p.m. and running events at 3 p.m. at Highline Stadium.
