For lack oi a betler word,
Texas A&M swimming coach
Mel Nash uses die lerm “lossup"
lo desc l ihe liis team's chances in
this weekend’s Ihst-ever South
west Clonterente women’s
chanipionshi|)s at the University
of Texas.
The U T Longhorns, ranked
No. 2 in t he* nat ion, are t he clear-
cut favorites. But as for the test
of the teams, there’s no agree
ment on the eventual final
standings.
Nash, who has guided the
Aggies to a 4-5 dual meet record
this spring, said the* possibilities
for his team — and the* seven
teams lighting lot second place*
and below — art* endless.
“If we did everything right
and some ol the other teams
swam bad, we could finish as
high as third — and that’s if we
just went completely berserk,"
Nash said from his hotel room in
Austin on Wednesday. “But I
don't think that'll happen.
Texas is the favorite, of course,
and Houston should finish
second. SMU and Arkansas
have strong divers, so that will
give them an edge over us.
“So it comes down to us,
Texas Tech, Rice and T('.U in
the* battle for Tilth place. Literal
ly. we could swim real well and
Tmish last, which is kind ol an
onimous feeling.”
The meet, being held at the*
Texas Swimming Center, began
this morning at 1 1 with prelimi
naries in t he KOO-yard free relay,
200 medley relay, 200 individual
medley, 50 freestyle*, 500 frec*s-

tyle, 100 butterlly, 50 breast

nine e*vents will be* hc*ld tonight
at 7.
The* Aggie*s, who linished
third in the* state* AIAW mecM
last spring, place*d 22nd in the
AIAW national meet. Texas
won the meet, SMU ended up
seventh in the* nation and
Arkansas was 30th.
This spring, Texas A&M has
elefeated Tulane, LSU, West
Virginia and Rice* and has lost lo
SMU, TUU, Texas 'Tech, Hous
ton and Texas. At the preseason
SWC Invitational in December,
the* Aggies finished Tilth behind
Texas, Arkansas, Houston and
SMU.
Aggie assistant coach Bill Mil
ler said the competition should
be strong in this year’s initial
SWC me*c*l.
“ The meet is c|iiite a bit faster
than last year’s (AIAW) meet,”
Miller said. “It should be* one of
the best and the fastest confer
ence championships in the
country this year. We* can finish
anywhere from fifth to eighth,
but a lot will depend on what out
girls want to do — how fast
they’re ready to go and how last
the rest of the conference is
going to go.”
Four of t he Aggie clivers have
met standards for the* first ste*j>
toward NCAA nationals c|ualilt-
calion. Maureen Beiter, Tracic*
Tips, Susan Burkhart and Darc y
Wilson will compete Marc h I I-
12 at Iowa State University for
the opportunity to participate in
the national meet, set for March
1 7-19 in 1 .inc oln, Neh.
The Longhorns were ranked
No. 3 in (he national polls, but
they defeated second-ranked
Stanford 78-71 in a dual meet
Feb. 5. U T has an 8-1 dual meet
record this spring, losing only to
Florida by three points. The
Longhorns have qualified 12
swimmers and clivers in 19
events for the NCAA meet.
The Houston Cougars, who
return seven all-America swim
mers from last year's team,
linished 12th at the NCAA meet
during 1982. Laurie Cook, who
covers Cougar swimming for
UH Athletic Media Relations,
said the coaches are looking at a
possible second-place finish this
weekend.
“I think we have a great shot
at second place, but we could do
better if we just had more swim
mers,” she said. “Right now, we
have only eight swimmers and
two clivers, and last year we had
nine swimmers and one diver.”
The Cougars’ Beverly Rose, a
sophomore all-America bac k-
stroker, has the fastest SWC
time in the 50 backstroke this
season, and has qualified for
NCAA nationals in both the 50-
and the 200-yard backstroke.
UH’s 400 medley relay squad,
which consists of Rose, Flspeth
Carnan, Kaly Archer and Ingrid
I^twrence, has qualified for na
tionals with a time of 3:5(i.9().
On the other hand, Texas
A&M started the season with 14
swimmers and six clivers, but in
juries have caused those num
bers lo dwindle drastically.
Consider these injuries, most
of which haven't completely
healed: Michon Breisachet
(backstroke), tendonitis in her
shoulder; Martha Oerken (but
terfly and individual medley),
stress fracture in her ankle;
Susan Holliday, tendonitis in
her shoulder; Susan Marks, a
key performer in the breast
stroke and freestyle events last
season, has a serious lower hack
injury; Kathy Mitten, the
squad’s only senior, has a shoul
der injury, and Debbie Scheider,
the Aggies’ No. 1 backstroke
performer last year, has tendo
nitis in her shoulder and has
knee problems.
Nash said the injuries have
kept the Aggies from having a
belter season.
“The thing alxnit it is that
each (injury) comes f tom a chi f e-
rent direction,” he said. “Most ol
the girls came in during the fall
with the injuries from some
thing they’d clone in the sum
mer. The combination of every
body falling apart at once really
dropped us down.
“If we had everyone healthy,
potentially, we’d lx* in a dogfight
for third this weekend, hut as of
now, 1 guess we’ll have to wait
until next year.”
Miller said several of the
team’s younger swimmers will
need to |x.*rform well for the
Aggies to place among the top
live teams.
“The freshmen have really
clone a good job for us," he said.
“Jodie Tanner lias clone very
well, and she’s going to help us
here this weekend. Melanie*

While the SMU Mustangs
were dealing out some unex
pected misery to the Texas
A&M Aggies, the last man on
the reduced Texas Tech bench
became a hero in an overtime
victory Tor the Red Raiders over
die Rice Owls.
SMU surprised Texas A&M,
76-66, with center Jon Koncak
scoring 24 points and a brief
wrestling match bringing about
the ejection of guards Reggie
Roberts (A&M) and Dave Oaths
(SMU).
It’s been a long time since
SMU has been in a post-season
tournament,” said Koncak. “We
want to try to win 18 or 19 games
and get in one this year. That’s
our goal.” SMU raised its season
record to 15-10 with the win
over the Aggies, who fell to 14-
13 overall and 7-6 in the South
west Conference.
The Arkansas Razorbacks left
a wakeup call for the second half
in Austin Wednesday night and
when the alarm went off they
responded like a team ranked
fifth in the country should.
“I think the squad might have
been a little flat tonight,” asses
sed Arkansas coach F.ddie
Sutton.
But no matter what the men
tal makeup of his team might
have been, Sutton’s hunch final
ly prevailed over the lowly Texas
Longhorns, 84-67, and stayed
on target for next week's show
down with No. 2 Houston in
Fayetteville.
In Houston, non-scholarship
player Tobin Doda hit two free
throws with two seconds remain
ing overtime to bring Lech a 69-
67 triumph over Rice. Tech has
only eight players on the team
