Aggie coach Bill Nix said the team has just peaked and this is the perfect time for it. “We are at the peak of our game both mentally and physically right now,” said Nix. “The women are really running well.” He said that peak was a product of having no pressure on the team. He said the compeition will be tough at Nationals like it always is but expects the Aggies to finish in the top 12. The meet will have 23 teams competing. “We were really more nervous for the Regionals,” the coach said. “We haven’t felt any pressure for this meet and have just relaxed and run well. For once, I can sit back and enjoy watching the race.” He said he felt that finishing in the top 12 is a very realistic goal for the team, especially considering the competition. Favorites in the meet are six time national cham pion Iowa State, Florida State, California at Ber keley, Wisconsin, Iowa, Purdue and Texas. But the rest of the teams form a pack behind those seven teams. Any of the other teams can finish after the seven and should one of the favorites stumble, there will be more than enough teams ready to step in. Besides the 23 teams, there will be90individin for a grand total of 230 runners.
