Second year in a row
A&M wins Border Olympics
By RICHARD OLIVER
Sports Editor
Little by little, things are
shaping up for the Texas A&M
men s track team.
After finishing a somewhat
disappointing third a few weeks
ago in the Southwest Confer
ence Indoor Track Meet, the'
Ags have rebounded to post
some strong event showings.
Saturday at the Border Olym
pics in Laredo, the Aggies slip
ped past Texas to claim the
championship for the second
year in a row.
It took a super effort in the
last event despite a lot of nega
tive factors to win the title.
Trailing the Longhorns by
two points, Aggies Rod Richard
son and James Washington
came up with injuries before the
final crucial event, the 1,600-
meter relay.
Head Coach Charlie Thomas
had to sub Rick Thomas and
Bart Daniel for the pair, and the
results showed surprising di
vidends. Thomas and Daniel
ran exceptional 400-meter legs
on the relay, with Thomas run
ning a 47.15 and Daniel (both
usually hurdlers) a 47.66.
Larry Kerr opened the race
with a 49.44, but it was brother
Leslie who was the hero, nip
ping TCU at the tape for second
in a solid 45.45 time. That
edged out Texas (fourth place)
for the title.
Leslie also won the 400-
meters in a meet record 45.0.
The Aggie coach was pessi
mistic entering the meet be
cause of numerous injuries to
key team athletes and the loss of
Johnny Hector and Don Jones
to football spring training, but
spirited performances pulled
the team through.
The pole vault competition
was the turning point for Texas
A&M, as NCAA champion Ran
dy Hall cleared 17-3 to set a new
meet record and Rob Montgom-
Randy Hall
ery finished third at 16-2 and
Mike Mullins fourth at 15-8.
The excellent performances
racked up an additional 20
points for the Ags.
Richardson, before exiting
the meet with a tight leg mus
cle, set a meet record in the
100-meters with a 10.28
clocking.
In the 110-meter hurdles,
Billy Busch and Rick Thomas
finished 1-2.
Thomas, a busy man Satur
day, also picked up points along
with teammate Daniel by plac
ing second in the intermediate
hurdles while Daniel was
fourth.
