Texas A&M mens'
track and field coach
Ted Nelson does not
like to refer to this
season as a rebuild
ing year.
He prefers to call it
a "reloading" year.
"We don't have
many seniors, but
we have a lot of
freshman who are
good athletes," Nel
son said. "We're re
loading with good,
young athletes.
"It's just going to
take them a while to
get the experience
and the confidence
they need to com
pete with the really
good athletes around
the nation."
Accompanying
this new wave of ath
letes is a new man at
the helm.

Ricky Barker makes one of his jumps during the
long jump portion of the decathlon during the
first day of the College Station Relays. Barker,
who finished third at last year’s NCAA decathlon,
is the favorite to win the event.
Nelson, after 24 years as an as
sistant, was named head coach
in September replacing Charlie
Thomas, who amassed five
Southwest Conference team
championships in his 32-year
tenure.
Nelson will take over a team
that has lost five All-Americans
who combined for nine national
championships. Two of them,
Howard Davis and Richard
Bucknor, even made Jamaica's
Olympic team.
Still, Nelson thinks his new
comers have the potential to
match that.
"They can't replace the seniors
we lost that were national-caliber
people," Nelson said, "but we
think in a couple of years, they'll
be on the same level as those
athletes were."
Nelson's first test at home will
come Saturday as the Aggies
host the 18th annual College Sta
tion Relays at the Anderson
Track and Field Complex.
There, in front of many of the
state's top track programs, he
will show off his crew of young
talent.
Ricky Barker, a junior All-
American, returns this season af
ter finishing third in the decath
lon at the NCAA Championship

Despite a line-up of young
athletes, the Texas A&M wom
en's track program is on the
verge of producing its best team
ever this year.
The Lady Aggies are in posi
tion to move into the upper divi
sion of the Southwest Confer
ence, with strength in returning
jumpers and recruiting success
in the field events.
"We're probably going to have
the best national women's team
here at A&M this year that we've
ever had," Head Coach Ted Nel
son said.
"We have a lot of inexperi
ence, but we also have some ath
letes with excellent ability. If
they develop the way they
should, we will have our strong
est team ever."
The women's roster is ready
for this weekend's 18th annual
College Station relays, which
will be held at Anderson Track
and Field Complex.
Texas, Arkansas and defend
ing SWC champion Houston are
favored to win the !
championship, but Nelson
the Lady Aggies could surprist
everyone.
This is a far cry from where til
Lady Aggie track team stood fi?t
years ago. The men and wpmei
tracksters consolidated undti
one coach in 1986, as a result o
the resignation of the women’
coach that year.

Razorbacks dominate Alabama,
make second straight Elite Eight
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) —
Lee Mayberry found his shoot
ing touch in the second half,
scoring 15 of his 16 points as top-
seeded Arkansas broke open a
close game and routed Alabama
93-70 Thursday night in the
semifinals of the NCAA South
east Regional.
Arkansas (34-3) will play the
Indiana-Kansas winner on Satur
day, with the winner going to
the Final Four at Indianapolis.
Tire loss continued Alabama's
frustration in the regional semifi
nals. The Crimson Tide (23-10)
has reached the final 16 five
times in the last six years, and
lost every time.
Mayberry, who was 0-for-4
from the field in the first half,
scored seven of Arkansas' first
nine points in the second half as
the Razorbacks increased their
three-point halftime lead to 49-
43.
Alabama closed to 49-47 on
two free throws by Robert Horry
after the Arkansas bench was hit
with a technical foul, but that
was as close as the Tide would
get.
Todd Day led Arkansas with 31
points. Oliver Miller, plagued by
foul trouble in the first half, fin
ished with 15 points.
Arkansas' pressure defense
forced the Crimson Tide into
mistakes that opened the way
' “ ' icks' '
A 7-1 Arkansas run that took
only 43 seconds opened up a 56-
48 lead. A basket by Horry made
it 57-52, but Arkansas then
scored nine straight points, in
cluding a 3-pointer by Mayberry
and a steal and dunk by Ron Hu-
ery. Arkansas led 66-52 with
11:09 remaining, and the Tide
was finished.
for the Razorbacks' decisive run.
Things got so bad that Horry,
trying to play despite a pulled
groin, missed a follow-up dunk
late in the second half.
The 23-point loss matched Al
abama's worst defeat of the sea
son.
James Robinson, whose prac
tice time was limited by a bad left
knee, scored 21 points for Ala
bama. Horry had 18 and Melvin
Cheatum 13 for the Tide.
Arkansas, a long-time member
of the Southwest Conference,
will join the Southeastern Con
ference next season, where the
Razorbacks will compete regu
larly against Alabama.
