Teams open
season today
in Louisiana
By TOM TAGLIABUE
Sports Writer
The Texas A&M men’s and wom
en’s track and field teams will com
pete in their first indoor meet of
1986 today and Saturday in Baton
Rouge, La. at the LSU Invitational.
A&M Head Track Coach Charlie
Thomas said the Aggies will use the
meet to get back in shape and give
the athletes competition before the
more major meets.
Thomas, who took over as head
coach in June, said some NCAA
schools have already been to two or
three meets, while the LSU meet will
be A&M’s first. The Aggies sent 95
athletes to compete in Louisiana.
Going into the ’86 season,
Thomas said the strengths of both
the men’s and women’s teams lie in
the field events.
“We may have a pfetty well-
rounded track team this year,”
Thomas said. “The field events are
where we’ll probably be the strong
est.”
Thomas rates the Southwest Con
ference as the top track and field
conference in the nation for ’86.
The Aggie men’s team has some
big holes to fill after last season’s
fifth-place SWC finish.
A&M loses both of its top high
jumpers, Jimmy Howard and Ethan
Glass, as well as All-America and
NCAA champion distance runner
Arturo Barrios.
One of the new freshman recruits
Thomas thinks will make an imme
diate impact is 6-foot-4, 280-pound
shot put and discus specialist, Randy
Barnes. Barnes has thrown the shot
64 feet in practice. The top shot put
ter in the SWC last season won with a
throw of only 62 feet.
Thomas expects good things from
freshman mile runner Calvin Ga-
ziano, from California, and Ian
James, a triple and long jumper,
who was the Canadian national track
champion in 1983.
Thomas said he also expects im
mediate contributions from his
freshman relay team — Floyd
Heard, from Milwaukee, Wis.; Stan
ley Kerr, a high school All-American
from near-by Snook; Lawrence Fe-
hon, a state champion hurdler from
Convent, La.; and Archie Roberts
from Houston. Heard and Kerr will
also run the 100- and 200-yard
dashes.
“We have an outstanding* group
of freshmen and we feel like by the
time the year is over, some of these
freshmen will be making pretty good
news for us — we hope,” Thomas
said.
“We feel like that, by the end of
the year, the freshmen will be ma
tured and will be acting like they’ve
been here four years. We like to
think they’ve got the ability. And in
track, if you’ve got the ability, you
can (win) your freshman year. You
don’t have to wait.”
Sixty-nine men will make the trip
to LSU, including Kendrick Wesley,
who runs the half-mile and mile re
lay; Chris Walker, a sophomore high
jumper who placed third in the SWC
meet last year; Francisco Oliveras, a
senior All-America triple jumper
from Mexico; and sophomore
Rickey Alexander, a high hurdler.
The men’s team will be without
high jumper Kenny Burke, who has
a sprained ankle. This leaves the
team without a high jumper because
the Aggies lost their other high
jumper to academic problems.
The Aggie women’s program is
hurting not because of injuries, but
because of a lack of team members.
The women’s team consists of
only 26 members, but Thomas said
he is confident the veterans can do
well at this weekend’s meet and be
yond.
Distance running is the event
which Thomas expects the women to
excel in ’86.
Four women make up the dis
tance team for the Aggies — sopho
mores Becky and Beth Drees, twins
from Fort Wayne, Ind.; senior Deb
bie Noel, of Richardson; and senior
Kathy Craig, a walk-on who re
turned to the team last year after a
two-year layoff.
Field events should bring in some
points for the women, too, Thom
said.
Lisa Coley, a junior college (Rfl;
fer from Mesa, Ariz., will throwth
javelin for the Aggies. Thomas fa:
Kay McMurray, a Bryan Highproi
uct who throws both the shotan:
discus, as a potential force in tii
SWC. He also said Cassandra P«
kins and Vernell Dunn, both skfi
putters, are possible point produt
ers.
Thomas, who is coaching tfe
women’s team for the first time,at
said Sherri Smith (hurdles), Brant
Stubblefield (high jump) and LT;
nya Brown (long jump) have look
good in practice.
