Ag tracksters’ showing
worth a king’s ransom
By CINDY GAY
Sports Writer
Hear ye! Hear ye! A toast to
the Texas A&M men’s and wom
en’s track teams for a weekend
filled to the brim with royal per
formances.
The crowning achievement for
the men’s team was Tony Grier’s
400-meter time of 46.00 seconds,
good enough for third place.
And, more importantly, it gave
Grier a free ticket to run in the
NCAA championships at the end
of May. The last time Grier ran
the 400 was at the indoor NCAAs
in March in 47.2 seconds.
“He ran awfully well,” said
A&M Assistant Coach Ted Nel
son about Grier’s fastest lap of his
life.
Other performances that con
tributed to the Aggies fourth
place finish in the meet, 14 points
behind Baylor, were Kurt
Thome’s winning long jump of
24-feet, 10.5 inches, another per
sonal best and the high jump by
Ethan Glass of 7-feet, 3.5 inches
that put him head and shoulders
and everything else above the
field.
Ernie Mendez placed just be
hind Glass with a jump of 6-11
and Thome was sixth at the
height of 6-7.
Francisco Oliveras tripled with
a winning triple jump of 50-feet,
3!4 inches, a fourth place throw
of the javelin for 202.7-feet and
fourth in the long jump with a
personal record of 24-feet.
In the 3,000-meter steeple
chase, Huey Treat finished sec
ond with a time of 9:11. Treat
turned in a fourth place time of
15:08 in the 5,000-meters, behind
Mike Contrerak second place run
of 14:55, and a few seconds
ahead of Steve Grenchik, who
came in sixth place with a time of
15:18. Contreras was denied the
gold after losing a photo finish
decision by the judges.
“Contreras took up the slack,”
said A&M Head Coach Charlie
Thomas, referring to the notice
able absence of Arturo Barrios
from the meet so he could rest
from last week's runs at the Texas
Relays.
“We didn’t have three of our
really big guns at the meet,” Nel
son said.
Rickey Alexander ran the 1 IO
meter high hurdles in 14.01 sec
onds, fourth place on the posted
results, but Tnomas said Alexan
der was actually third.
“The judges missed him,”
Thomas said.
Mark Rutledge rose to 15-6 for
third place in the pole vault. In
the 800-meters, Kendric Wesley
achieved a personal best and
third best in the meet time of
1:50, and Dean Stone ran a
1:51.7, also an individual record.
The red carpet must also be
rolled out to the Texas A&M
women’s track team, which trum
peted its highest finishes of the
season at the John Jacob Relays in
Norman, Okla.
Alexis Russell recorded a cou
ple of personal bests in the 200-
and 400-meters with times of
25.14 and 57.62 seconds respec
tively. Russell placed fourth in
the 200-meters, and sixth in the
400.
The 1,500-meters saw Debby
Noel finish in 4:39, fourth in the
race and her second fastest time.
Esther Dedrick covered 3,000-
meters in a fourth place time of
9:54 and Beth Drees was eighth
with a 10:26 performance.
