NCAA tourney

By Ken Sury

Austin' — Texas A&M’s final
twcl entries in the NCAA Women’s
lennis CTiampionships, a pair of
dolibles teams, were eliminated
from the tournament Tuesday.
■t&M’s No. 1
1 a n cl e m o f Tennis
Vanne Akagi
and Ciaye Lynne Gensler were de
leaved by eighth-seeded fill Hethe-
(inion and Jan Martin of Florida 6-
J, 1-5 in the first round of the dou
bles competition.
■ he other Aggie tandem, Karen
Map shall and Kim Labuschagne,
were downed by UCLA’s Jennifer
Fuchs and Jane Thomas 6-3, 6-4.
^We played two real good teams,”
M first-year Coach Bobby Klei-
ke said. “We were right in there
with them, but just couldn’t get the
big points.
■Plus, we were real nervous at the
^■t since it was our first time in the
[AA tournament (in the doubles
petition).”
The tandems did have some sense
of the NCAA atmosphere as A&M
competed last Thursday in the team
competition, but lost in the first
round to defending champion and
No. 2 seed USC 8-1
USC lost to No. f Stanford Sun
dae 5-4 in the championship match.
I he lone A&M win was a big one
as Labuschangne, playing the No. 2
singles spot, upset All-American He-
liane Steden 3-6, 6-1,6-3.
Steclen was ranked as the No. 5
collegiate singles player in the nation
and Kleinecke said Labuschagne’s
victory was probably the biggest sin
gles win in A&M history.
A&M finished its season with a
dual-match record of 19-8. It was
the Aggies’ first trip to NCAA com
petition.
On the men’s side, A&M’s SWC
singles champion Kimmo Alkio is in
Athens, Ga., preparing for his first
NCAA tourney singles match. The
tourney draw is expected to be an
nounced today. Alkio is ranked 24th
in the country.

Aggie women improve, finish in fifth place
The Texas A&M women’s track team did some
thing at the Southwest Conference Outdoor Track
and Field Championships last weekend that they
didn’t do last year — score points.
In Fayetteville, Ark., last year the Aggies were
shut out as none of the women could muster at least
a sixth-place finish.
But this year A&M scored 16 points to take fifth in
a meet that was a showcase for Texas, which won
with 223 points, and Houston, which finished second
at 174.
A&M Head Track Coach Charlie Thomas said he
was pleased with the women’s progress, but added,
“Texas is just so dominating.”

the Aggies with a school record 13.78 seconds in the
100-meter hurdles to finish third. Langston, A&M’s
all-time leading scorer in basketball, missed the
NCAA qualifying by .08 in only her fourth collegiate
hurdles run.
The remainder of A&M’s points came from a
fourth by Lisa Coley in the javelin (134 feet, 3
inches), a fourth in the shot put by Vernell Dunn
(47-1 ITfi.a sixth by Brandy Stubblefield (5-4) and a
sixth in the 400-meter relay by team members of
L’Tanya Brown, Novaita Samuels, Judy Williams
and Langston.
notched fourth place over Baylor.
The rain played havoc for A&M
in the sprints as Saturday’s thunder
storms forced the elimination of the
C reliminaries and the events had to
e reheated.
Despite the reheating, A&M
freshmen Floyd Heard and Stanley
Kerr clocked the two fastest 200-me
ter dashes in school history behind
SMU’s Roy ‘Robot’ Martin’s wind-
aided 19.86-second finish. Kerr fin
ished second with a 20.10 and Heard
came in third at 20.25. The times,
cracked the NCAA qualifying time
of 20.72, which Kerr had not accom
plished before the meet.
In the 100, Heard grabbed third
and Kerr fourth after starting from
the worst lanes — 1 and 2. Martin,
the meet’s high point winner, won
the 100 with a 9.97 while TCU’s Ros-
coe Tatum took second at 10.08.
Heard clocked in at 10.12, with Kerr
at 10.14. Both marks qualified for
the NCAAs.
Thomas said running in the first
lane hurt the team psychologically,
because you have to be wary of the
two-inch high rail that runs along
side the track.
But Thomas was quick to note
that the weather and lane problems
weren’t the difference in their fifth-
place finish.
“It wasn’t poor performances (ei
ther),” Thomas said. “The effort was
there. We just weren’t on as a group.
A lot (of events) were just so dose.
We had a lot of seventh places (the
top six finishes earn points).”
The only first place for A&M in
the meet came Saturday as Barnes
threw the discus a career best 200
feet, S'A inches. A&M freshman
Robert Graf finished fifth in the shot
with a career best 172-4.
A&M’s only other top three finish
was a third-place time of 3 minutes,
5.28 seconds in the 1,600-meter re
lay by Kendrick Wesley, Gary Pervis,
Matt Washington and Maurice Holt.
Senior Francisco Oliveras earned
two fourth places as he triple
jumped 52 feet, 6'/a inches and
threw the javelin 195-3. Two other
fourths came from Ian James’ long
jump of 26-1 and Craig Calk’s 50.97
in the 400 hurdles.
Thomas said Calk could have fin
ished first or second had he not
missed a step on the ninth hurdle
and lost some momentum.
The remainder of A&M’s points
came from a fifth place by Lawrence
Felton in the 110-meter high hur
dles, a sixth place in the 800 by Matt
Dunn and a sixth by Mike Rhoades
in the pole vault.
