Married life helping Ag trackster
Horace Grant finds someone to work for
SI
Horance Grant, A&M junior
middle distance runner, married
his Houston high school sweet
heart just 23 days ago and thinks
“married life will help me.”
“I have more responsibility. I
look at things differently. I have
someone to run and work for,”
adds Grant.
Grant is especially looking for
ward to the first Southwest Con
ference Indoor Championships
here Friday night.
He usually runs the 880 out
doors but will step down to the
600 indoors and anchor the Ag
gies’ mile relay team.
He says running indoors is
more physical, race strategy dif
ferent and exciting.
“It doesn’t matter which guy
is in the best condition,” he says.
“It’s the one who gets out front
first.” On that small track, it’s
hard to pass on a curve.
“It can be painful, too. You
catch a lot of elbows running so
close. You bet, I can poke with
my elbows. It’s every man for
himself.”
Anchoring the mile relay team
will be something new in college,
although he handled the chore
with distinction at Houston Jones
when his team set a national rec
ord of 3:12.
“Our mile relay team is com
ing along good. I think we can
give Texas a pretty good race,”
predicts Grant.
Texas lost only one race out
doors last year, finishing second
in the NCAA mile relay.
Aggie coach Charlie Thomas
indicates he will go with sopho
mores Harold Davis and Sammy
Dierschke and junior Doug Brod-
head in the mile relay. Davis,
Brodhead, Grant and the now
graduated Willie Blackmon team
ed to carry A&M to third in the
SWC last year and seventh in
the NCAA finals.
Grant is grateful to the Fort
Worth Coaches Association for
changing its indoor meet’s for
mat from an open division to the
SWC indoor championships.
“This will provide new incen
tive for all the track and field
people in the conference,” says
Grant. “I look for some great
performances.”
