Nelson sees room for improvement. "We're steadily building the women's program," he said. "We've had it now for five years, and we're still striving. It takes a long time to build up a team to where you would like to have it." Recruiting was the weak spot in the program five years ago Nelson said, and he and his staff are still trying to bring it up to the men's level. "We just have to get out and recruit those good athletes," Nelson said. "It's the good ath letes who make great coaches out of us." With the recruitment of stand out freshman shotput/discus thrower Amy Paulsen, Nelson just might be vying for coach of the year. Paulsen led the Lady Aggies in the SWC Indoor Track Championship finishing second with a personal best 48'2" throw. "She has the talent to possibly he the National Champion at one time," Nelson said. "I'm not pre dicting that she will be this year or the next, but she definitely has potential to be before she leaves Texas A&M." Nelson said that the high jump is the Lady Aggies' strong est event, with the return of All- American Sandra Hines and NCAA-qualifier Gwen Buck. The coach said that several other jumpers have the potential to place. "We have four or five compet itors that will hopefully place at the SWC championship," he said. Hines was the SWC runner-up and finished fifth at the national meet last year, while Buck placed fourth in the conference.

Three freshman, Leigh Ann Crews, Beth Burket and Stacy Stewart are also expected to shine for the Aggies. The 400-meter relay is also an Aggie strength. Nelson said. Three members of last year's team, which finished sixth in the conference meet, will return. Newcomer Kina McMillian joins veterans Rosalyn Hunt, Kasan- dra McDaniel and Yolanda Tay lor. The Lady Aggies find plenty of experience in senior distance runner Connie Hand. She was the team's top competitor last season in botn the 5000-meter run and the 10000-meter run. "Connie works very well for us," Nelson said. "She's steady, lines up everytime and does a good ic Melissa Weaver good distance runner. "Melissa is a very good com petitor," Nelson said. "She has the chance to be a national qual ifier in either the 3000-meter run or the 5000-meter run this year."

This year. Bar ker is a threat to take the national title in that event. Senior Steve Collier will at tempt to qualify for his third con secutive NCAA meet in the shot- put. Three-fourths of an inch separated him from last year's SWC crown. In the high jump, senior Wally Reid, who is coming off an in jury, will join freshman Lee Pool, who was an indoor All- American this year, in a strong event for the Aggies. Equally strong is the high hur dles with senior Greg Williams, seventh in the NCAA indoor meet held two weeks ago, and junior Nic Pollard, a transfer from McNeese State, who qual ified for national indoors, as well. Junior Danny Signorelli, like wise, qualified for the indoor meet in the pole vault and fin ished twelfth. In the sprint category, the Ag gies had large shoes to fill with the loss of their nationally re nowned 400-meter relay. In the past seven years, A&M has fin ished in the top four in the na tion in that event. None of the members of those relay teams remain, so this year's team of Pollard, Greg Wil liams, Kary Vincent and Kevin Sims has a heavy load to bear. Although Nelson said they should fare well, he cannot help but feel apprehensive. "I think we're going to be pre tty good in the relay," Nelson said. "We just haven't run to gether. It's an unusual experi ence for me that we're going into this meet with no experience (in that event)." Williams and Sims will also be faces to watch in the long jump. Three weeks ago, the Aggies had their first outdoor meet of the year in the Border Olympics in Laredo. In that meet, senior Mike Howell took first in the long jump, and sophomore Mike Miller won the 800. Two other sophomores won gold — Scott Paulsen in the dis cus throw and Teddy Reynolds in the shotput. Saturday's College Station Re lays will put the Aggies up against a strong Baylor team.
