SWC swimming championships start today Aggie swimmers eye upset I’aN 1 rep o By Chris Whitley The Battalion The Texas A&M ladies’ swim team has something to prove this weekend. As the Lady Aggies prepare for the Southwest Con ference championship meet, which starts today in Aus tin, they are trying to show that they are the darkhorse in a conference of superior strength. “It’s possible that we could get fourth or fifth in our conference meet, and still be in the top twenty in the na tion,” assistant coach Jay Holmes said. The key to landing a spot in the top twenty, accord ing to Holmes, is the relay events. “Relays make up a big part of the meet, and that’s one of our strengths,” Holmes said. He adds that four, or possibly five, A&M relay teams could qualify for the NCAA Championships in India napolis in late March. The team leader for the Aggies heading into the meet is fifth-year senior Courtney Searcy. Last year, Searcy qualified for the NCAA’s in the 200-meter individual medley and was a part of the free style relay that won Honorable Mention All-American last year. “She is ‘Miss Consistency’,” Holmes said of Searcy. “Any relay that has a shot of making NCAA cuts, Courtney’s going to play a part in it.” Searcy said she and the team feel prepared for the meet. “I’m excited because it’s my last year,” Searcy said. “We (the team) are pretty pumped up. I think every one’s excited to swim fast.” Junior Laura Greines, the A&M record-holder-; 200-meter breaststroke, also looks to do well a| meet. “She is a big part of our medley relays," Holme!,: “She’s the kind that can blow a medley relay i open. Other Aggies that are expected to shine in the include Kim Smith, a sophomore, who hasasdioi cord in the 50-meter freestyle. Also, freshman Dereska has filled a void in tne butterfly events. Sophomore Stephanie Maples, who also was Honorable Mention-winning relay team ayearage contend in the freestyle along with freshmen! Leporis and Tiffany Tredway. The ladies’ team finished the dual meet seasons; 4-6 record. As geared up as the Aggies are, they real® > has a virtual lock on th Texas has a virtual lock on the conference troph; “Texas will win it,” Holmes said without hoitt “They’re just very exceptional.” The Longhorns are the defending nationald pions and have held that title five out of thelasi years. Holmes predicted that out of the rest of then SMU would finish second, Arkansas would be and a three-way race will develop between Hoi Rice, and A&M for fourth. The meet will be held in the University ofli Swimming Center and will run until Saturday.

Lady Aggie head coach Bobby KJeinecke said the match was closer than he would have liked. “This match was too close for comfort,” Kleinecke said. “I’m ex tremely proud of our doubles teams, but we’ve got to have more guts in singles so we’re not in this situation again.” All-American Lynn Staley won her No. 1 singles match over Katie Nederveld 6-4, 6-1. But the Aggies lost the Nos. 2-4 matches and relied on wins from freshmen in the five and six spots.
