Olympic team
The Battalion News Services
Texas A&M swimmers Robert
Fleming and Laura Grimes will be
in Indianapolis this week compet
ing at the 1992 Phillips 66 National
Swimming Championships.
The Championships, which
serve as the U.S. Olympic Trials,
run Sunday through Saturday at
the IUPUI Natatorium on the cam
pus of Indiana University with
preliminary rounds beginning at
10 a.m. each day and finals begin
ning at 6 p.m.
In Flemming, the Aggies will
be sending an experienced inter
national swimmer who has en
joyed tremendous success at past
national competitions.
After an incredible senior sea
son at Houston's Waltrip High
School, he captured three gold
medals at the 1990 Junior Olympic
Championships-West Long
Course. Last summer, at the 1991
Olympic Festival, he earned a
bronze medal as a member of the
South's 4x200 freestyle relay team.
After redshirting during the
1991-92 season in preparation for
these trials, Flemming is consid
ered to have an outside shot at a
relay spot. He will swim today in
the men's 100-meter freestyle.
"Robert's not a favorite, but
he's been looking great in his
workouts," said A&M assistant
coach Jay Holmes. "Anything can
happen up there, and it's possible
that he can post an outstanding
time and not make the team."
Grimes, a senior from San An
tonio, will compete tomorrow in
the women's 100-meter breast
stroke. As the Aggie women's
lone senior, she was the heart and
soul of a team that finished a sur
prising third at the Southwest
Conference Championships. She
finished her SWC career by win
ning the 100-breast in a conference
record time of 1:01.98.
Grimes currently owns three of
the top five 100-breast times in
A&M school history. Holmes
looks for her to swim well in an
event that many consider to be the
most competitive at these trials.
"Based on the SWC meet, she
has to be considered capable of
making the finals," he said. "Lau
ra considers it an honor to be invit
ed to the Olympic Trials, however,
she's really shooting for the
NCAA's later this month."
The top two finishers in each
event will qualify for the 52-mem
ber team that will travel to
Barcelona, Spain this summer.

games.
Johnson,
who began
practicing last
week, said it
will take a few
days for him to
get his game
legs back under
him.
"I'm glad to be back," Johnson
said. "Six weeks is a long time to
be out. I'm just a little bit out of
shape."
The forward said he had no in
tentions of trying to pick up where
he left off before the injury.
"I just wanted to help my team
out," he said. "I wasn't looking to
score 25, 30 points. I just wanted
to go in there and help my team
out as much as I could. Me, being
a presence on the court, I was hop
ing it would help them out a little
bit."
A&M head coach Tony Barone
said his goal was to give Johnson
20 minutes of playing time in or
der to help the player re-establish
a rhythm.
"We were just hoping to put
him into the puzzle," Barone said,
"so that he wouldn't have to do a
lot of thinking, because he hasn't
been in that position for quite a
while.
Johnson was 5-for-8 from the
floor and 4-for-7 from the free
throw line in the game. He also
pulled down three rebounds in
addition to being the Aggies' in-
;ible force in the middle before
tam
he fouled out in the final minutes
of the game.
"He was the best inside player
we had tonight," Barone said.
first half. Baylor's Dennis Lindsey
was the hot hand from the perime
ter. He had five three-pointers
and 20 of his career-high 27 points
in the opening half.
"Lindsey hit some shots in the
first half, and we weren't giving
him those shots," Barone said
"But he took them and was wide
open. We didn't do a good jobde-
fensively with what we were try
ing to do."
The Aggies had six playersiri
double figures, including Damon
Johnson, who returned to action
for the first time since a foot injury
sidelined him on Jan. 14. Johnson
picked up 14 points and played 15
minutes.
However, the Aggies' shooting
was a mere 40 percent from the
floor compared to the Bears'51
percent from the floor.
With A&M playing their first
game at home after a four-game
road trip, and also having to play
four games in nine days, Barone
said his young team might be suf
fering from fatigue.
"Our lack of physical strength
is an issue because we are so
young," he said. "I think you'll
find most freshman who are play
ing at this time of the year tend to
lose something because their
adrenaline saps them."
The Aggies have two games re
maining in the regular season and
one more home game on Wednes
day against Texas Tech.
O'Brien
Continued from Page 3
This season, she leads the
team in scoring with an average
of 14.2 points per game and is
first in rebounding with 7.2 per
game.
After her record breaking
performance on Sunday, Russo
wasn't concerned with personal
accomplishments.
"People have been talking
about it all this week, but it really
never entered my mind," she
said. "It's not something I'm real
high on right pow after losing
this one in the the second half."
Dillard, on the other hand, is
a 5-foot-9 guard who uses speed
and timing to master her craft.
She dribbles past opponents on
her way to the basket and creates
turnovers on defense.
She leads the Lady Aggies
this year with 61 steals and is
second on the team with 101 as
sists. Last season, she led the
team with 96 assists.
Whatever their styles, both
players brought the same enthu
siasm to every game.
Russo and Dillard will not
end their regular season careers
with a cakewalk on Wednesday.
The Lady Aggies travel to Lub
bock to face Texas Tech. The Red
Raiders have already clinched
the Southwest Conference cham
pionship with a record of 11-1
and are 21-4 overall.
The Aggies are currently in
fifth place in SWC standing at 7-6
and are 15-11 overall.
As many accomplishments as
the two players can claim and as
many hours as they have prac
ticed, a win on Wednesday may
be too much to ask. The Red
Raiders are deeply talented and
have been gathering momentum
all year.
But whatever happens
against Texas Tech, Russo and
Dillard and all the seniors can
end their college careers on a
positive note in the conference
tournament that begins Mar 11.
Behind .the play of Dillard
and Russo, the Lady Aggies hav°
made every ^ame, even the loss
es, competitive this season. The
Aggies are playing good enough
for a tournament championship.
It would be a nice way to end
two careers.
