The five team members were chosen for the national event on the basis of their individual scores at a meet with the Univer sity of Texas. The club practices about once a week and is open to anyone. Since the sport is relatively new to collegiate athletics, many universities do not have teams. The team only competes with UT, so it spends much of the rest of its time organizing clinics with other universities. The next scheduled clinic is with the University of Arizona, which won second place overall in the national competition. "MEW'S LIB!
