Shannon Rowbury

It wouldn't be accurate to say Shannon Rowbury is bored with the 800-meter run. The Sacred Heart Cathedral senior just wants to add a little variety as she winds down her high school career.

Rowbury will attempt to win both the 800 and 1,600 today at the Central Coast Section track and field championships at San Jose City College. She owns the section's leading times in both events.

''It's fun to have something different,'' she said. ''I like both for different reasons, but they're both exciting for me.''

Rowbury, who has won three consecutive CCS titles in the 800, began running the 1,600 this season. She posted the state's top time in the 1,600 (4:51.14) at the Girls Private School League finals three weeks ago. She also owns the state's fifth-best time in the 800 (2:10.28). The big question will come if Rowbury qualifies in both events for next weekend's state meet in Norwalk. Defend her state title in the 800 or try to win the 1,600? She plans to scratch one event.

''That's what makes it a tough one,'' said Andy Chan, Sacred Heart Cathedral's coach. ''Being the defending champion in one event, yet really enjoying another event and seeing she's a top runner in that event too. Wanting to see what more she can do before she's done with high school.''

Rowbury's main goal is to win her fourth section title in a single event, a feat only two girls have accomplished. In 1978-81, Lynbrook's Tracy Weber won the mile/1,600 and Independence's Roxanne Bier won the 2 mile/3,200.

Rowbury, who will attend Duke on a scholarship next fall, will have plenty of competition. The CCS is loaded with outstanding middle- and long-distance runners, including Los Gatos' Ashley Caldwell, who owns the second-best marks in the 800 and 1,600.

Rowbury and Chan aren't concerned about the grind of competing in two events: The 1,600 is scheduled for 6:15 p.m., the 800 for 7:25. Rowbury has spent most of the season running consecutive races, and she posted outstanding times at the GPSL finals. Rowbury has made three appearances at the state championships in the 800. She also qualified in the 3,200 as a sophomore. Because she probably will be competing for a first-place medal and running both days (Friday's qualifying round and Saturday's final), Rowbury knows she needs to pick one event.

''CCS is intense, but not nearly as intense as state,'' Rowbury said. ''Doing one event at state is nerve-racking enough. Doing two would be crazy.''

Although Rowbury might not defend her state championship, she wants to win her fourth section title in the 800.

''That was one thing I really wanted since the beginning of the season,'' she said. ''It would be amazing to win it four years in a row. I'm excited for the race and hopeful it will play out well.''
