He finished second, again to

ds off the week-old record of
mate Kyle Heffner. However,
or placed fourth in the event to
ide enough cushion to hold off
the surpising A&M thinclads.
Charles Cottle ran a 14:08.0, but was
unable to grab any points.
The Aggies fared well in the field
events, winning the discus, shot put
and javelin and placing strongly in
the pole vault. Frank West had his
best put of the year, 55-5 1/2, to take
his third win in a row. Teammates
Craig Carter (52-3) and Randy Scott
(51-10) placed third and fourth.
Bill Newton won the javelin with a
throw of 223-9 feet, his best of the
year, and Steve Stewart outdis
tanced the Rice weightmen in the
discus with a throw of 169-8 feet.
Brad Blair placed second in the pole
vault at 16-0 feet with fellow vaulters
Jon Harrington and Pat Ruehle plac
ing third and fifth.
Despite bad handoffs, the A&M
sprint relay team of Charles Butler,
Gregory Clark, Charles Dawson and
Ray Brooks posted a 40.5 clocking,
their best thus far in the season.
Hurdler Shifton Baker continued to
bring his times down with a 14.0 in
the 120-yard highs and a 52.9 in the
440-yard intermediates. Craig Mac-
Phail also had a 52.9, good for third
place.
Walter Jachimowicz ran his hest
mile ever in the prelims, a 4:11.63,
despite having been asleep until 25
minutes before the race. The
freshman ran a 4:11.9 in the finals for
fifth place.
Brooks, who anchored the sprint
relay, ran a 21.3 for fourth in the
220-yard dash.
Baylor used their strength in the
high jump, long jump, quarter,
half-mile and mile relay to edge the
Ags. The Bears finished one-two in
the high jump and long jump, one-
two-four in the 440, two-three-four
in the 880 and ran the Southwest
Conference’s best time thus far in
the mile relay.
The Bears qualified five of the
eight runners in the 440 with Mark
Collins leading the Green and Gold
parade with a 46.11, the best in the
SWC this year. The Bears then ran a
3:09.35 in the four lap event without
Collins amongst the quartet because
of a cramp.
It was a two-man show for the Rice
Owls as Wells and sprinter Zoe
Simpson emerged double winners.
Wells’ diving effort in the mile nip
ped Lea, and his 13:45.1 in the
three-mile set a meet record.
Simpson also set two marks with a
20.5 in the 220 and a 9.27 in the
100-yard dash.
Thomas was pleased with the per
formance of his team and cited the
good weather as being one reason for
the drop in times. Thomas said he
hopes to get sprinter Sam Dierschke
off the sick list soon and to have his
high jumpers and longjumpers come
around. He also noted with some
pleasure that half of the Aggies’
points were scored by freshmen and
sophomores, encouraging for next
year, he said.
The Aggies travel to Dallas this
weekend for the Dallas Invitational
along with Baylor, SMU and Texas as
well as perennial national power
Tennessee. This meet, which was
canceled last year due to foul
weather, will determine qualifiers
for the Texas Relays one week later.
A&M Consolidated finished
fourth in the high school division to
three AAAA teams with 55 points,
the most for a AAA team at the Re
lays. Coach James Giese’s Tigers
placed second in the 880-yard relay
(1:29.6), third in the two-mile relay
(7:56.6), third in the four-mile relay
(18:39.78) and fourth in the 440-yard
relay (43.4). Reggie Carr took third
for the Tigers with a 9.9 clocking in
the 100-yard dash.
Dallas Lake Highlands won the
prep division while taking firsts in
the high jump, two-mile relay, dis
tance medley relay, four-mile relay
and the mile. Richland’s Tim Scott
was a double winner in the shot and
discus with throws of 60-1 1/4 and
174-4 feet. Navasota’s Jesse James
and Houston Sterling’s Kent Figgs
thrilled the fans with their duels in
the 120-yard high hurdles and 330-
yard intermediate hurdles. Figgs
won the highs in . 05 of a second over
James and lost to the Navasota senior
by .1 of a second in the inter
mediates.
