See You There!! By KEN SURY Sports Writer The late Paul “Bear” Bryant was the most familiar name announced Tuesday of the 1985 inductees to the Texas A&M Athletic Hall of Fame, but, ironically, not the most impor tant. Linda Cornelius Waltman, a track and field All-American for A&M from 1977-79, became the first woman athlete named to A&M’s hall of fame. Not only was Waltman the Aggies’ first woman inductee, she also became the First woman athlete ever to be named to a Southwest Conference school’s athletic hall of fame. “This is a very high honor for me,” said Waltman during a special news conference to announce the in ductees. “When I First found out, my first thought was that 1 was not worthy of such an honor.” A quick look at her accomplish ments, however, would indicate she is more than worthy. Waltman is considered one of the most successful pentathletes in the GUBERNATORIAL SERIES FORMER CONGRESSMAN KENT NANCE % WED.,OCT 9 701 RUDDER 7:00 PM FREE zfelTlernoruaL Student Centerv. Paul “Bear” Bryant Linda Waltman history of the Amateur Athletes Union (AAU), winning the AAU Pentathlon National Championship in 1977 and placing third in ’78 and fourth in '79. While attending A&M. she set sev eral school recorcls as an individual and as a member of the relay team. Her long jump best of 19-feet-'A* inches still stands as an Aggie re cord. Waltman made the 1980 U.S. Olympic Team, but like the rest of the American Olympians, did not get to participate because of our na tion’s boycott of the Moscow Games. She said the importance of her in duction to the A&M hall ranks “right up there with making the Olympic team" in her life. She also said being chosen nu kes her feel like a “ground breaker." She should. Waltman broke ground earlier in her career by being the first woman to earn a full athletic scholarship to A&M. “1 hope it opens the doors for other schools to recognize female athletes,” she said. But no school needs to be re minded to recognize the coaching accomplishment of the legendary “Bear Bryant — Division 1 college football’s winningest coach. Bryant coached the A&M football team from 1954-57, after a short stint at the University of Kentucky. His first year at A&M, the Aggies struggled to a 1-9 record — his only losing season in an illustrious SiJ year coaching career. But he turned the Aggie progm around with a 7-2-1 record thena! year, followed by a SW[j Championship in '56 andaHeisie Trophy winner in running baa John David Chow in '57. During his brief four yearsi A&M, Bryant amassed a records 25-13-2, lx*f ore returning to coackr his alma mater — Alabama.
