ly just to enter everybody and
get them to do some indoor run
ning and give them competi
tion,” Thomas said.
Competition will be tough in
the SWC this spring, Thomas
said, with Arkansas the likely
favorite. SMU and Texas should
also finish high.
But while Thomas is over
loading the bus this weekend,
women’s coach Bill Nix is hop
ing big things can come in small
packages.
“We only have 12 girls on the
team right now,” Nix said. “And
we’re only running eight girls
this weekend.
The foyrth-year coach said
he’s not concerned about his
team being small in numbers.
Nix favors quality over quantity.
Although having only 12 mem
bers probably means the Aggie
Ladies won’t score enough
points to finish higher than
third in the Southwest Confer
ence meets, a talented few could
mathematically earn Texas
A&M an NCAA championship.
As a matter of fact, capturing
third place in the SWC is Nix’s
goal for his team, he said.
Nix’s emphasis isn’t on team
victories in small tournaments.
Instead, his sights are on out
standing individual perform
ances that will give Texas A&M
points in the big ones like the
NCAA meets. Each first place
finisher earns 10 points for her
team in that meet.
Three of the eight competing
this weekend will be high hurd
lers. Sophomore Chanda Phil
lips, junior Pam Biesenbach and
junior Deanie Palmer make dp a
fourth of Nix’s roster, but they’ll
be entered in the same event this
weekend.
For the 60-yard dash, Nix will
use sophomore Novaita
Samuels, who last spring
finished second in the 200-
meter dash and third in the 100-
meter dash at the AI AW nation
al meet. She was an all-America
last season, and Nix said she’ll
also compete in the 300-meter
dash in this weekend’s meet.
Nix is also looking for some
positive output in the 600-yard
run from junior Jana Graves,
who last year posted the nation’s
12th fastest time indoors in that
race.
In the 880-yard dash and the
mile run, Nix will depend on
junior Suzanne Sheffield.
The coach also will be de
pending on a lot of youngsters to
come through this spring, he
said. He’ll have a chance to test
freshman Debbie Noel in the
mile and freshman Paula Odom
in the 2-mile race. Despite their
youth, the coach said he’ll be
looking for team leadership
from veterans like Sheffield,
Graves, Samuels and Phillips.
“Those four will probably
end up being the big guns on the
team. They have the biggest
opportunities for qualifying for
the NCAA championships in
doors,” Nix said.
Nix said his team won’t parti
cipate in field events. He’s out
for top-notch performance in
the running events. He’s the
Aggie Ladies’ lone mentor, and
he said splitting his time be
tween track and field could low
er his team’s chances of success
in either category.
“I don’t have an assistant
coach, and it’s very difficult to
coach everything and do a good
job at it,” Nix said. “So we’re
going to do one thing right, and
that’s run well.”
