VVlz0'.r Up From Mex1'c0? ithout even running the race, one runner in a women's event at a national Mexican track and field meet qualified for the finals. Later, other competitors learned that the reason she had qualified was because her father had contacts within the leading government supported sports association in Mexico. The unpublicized event, just one more incidence of unfairness and manipulation within the Mexican sports event made sixteen year old high jumper Francisco Camarena Diaz realize that his future in track and field would be limited if he remained in his countiy. His track and field career began on a more positive note when he joined his trainer at age nine, and by age fourteen, had earned the title of national record holder in high jump for his age group. Ayear later, he grabbed the national title not only in high jump, but in hurdles as well. Also during 1985, he became, in addition to the mexican champion, the Central American and Caribbean champion in the seventeen to nineteen year old category. Despite his success in Mexico, Diaz and his family moved to the United States to escape the corruption in Mexican sports associations and the Mexican people's lack of support for his sport. Diaz stresses that he is not opposed to his country. He is only disturbed by the lack of credibility of Mexican sports associations officials. 'll am so angry because I have seen so much unfairness in sports in Mexico, said Diaz. After moving to California lastsummer, he competed with the school track and field team, succeeding in both high jump and hurdles. It made me veiy nervous to compete against American jumpers, because they're so good. They have much more experience and support, said Diaz. Diaz frequently visits Mexico and plans to return permanently to continue his sport. Explained Diaz, ln February and March I went back for a national meet in Mexico, and after high school l will return there. No matter where Diaz lives, he plans to pursue his sport. High jump is very special to me, said Diaz, 'fl am going to do it until I can't walk.
