on the meet as the men's shuttle
hurdle relay team recorded a
school-record time of 56.1, which
was also the 1991 world-best
time.
During that contest, the Ag
gies created a legend comparable
to A&M football's "12th Man"
with their "Fifth Man." Rick
Smith, who had walked on the
team as a 110-meter high hurdler
and had been switched to inter
mediates, was rushed into action
on the relay team after another
team member had been suspend
ed.
Smith had not even had time
to prepare for the competition,
but he brought his team from
second place and passed Ten
nessee to win the race in the
record time.
"I went over one hurdle be
fore the race, got in the blocks
and went," Smith said. "I really
wasn't thinking too much, I just
took off. After about three hur
dles, I began to get my rhythm
back. Once I did, it was a lot
smoother. It was just unreal
when I crossed the finish line.
People were screaming and I was
just real excited."
Freshman Twylana Harrison,
who has already qualified for the
NCAA Championships at the
Texas A&M Invitational with a
jump of 42-feet, 11/2 inches, will
compete against nine of the top
10 triple jumpers in the nation at
the relay. Harrison's toughest
competition is likely to come
from Florida's Leah Kirklin, who
won this year's national indoor
title and last year's national out
door title.
Some members of the A&M
squads will stay in Texas this
weekend to compete in the
Stephen F. Austin Invitational in
Nacogdoches.
These two meets will be the
last before the Southwest Confer
ence Championships next week
end, which will be held at the
Anderson Track and Field Com
plex on the A&M campus.

such a situation. This adds value
to players like Richardson, but it
still doesn't make any guarantees
on draft day.
Richardson, who was the SWC
Player of the Year in 1991, said go-'
ing to the NFL will be like starting
over.
"You have to be realistic,"
Richardson said. "You have to
know that you're not going to play
football forever. I'm not going to
be one of those guys that tries to
hang on forever. I'm not going to
go to the Canadian football league
and then to the World League.
"It's going to be like being a
freshman again. You can't put all

it doesn't always work out."

"We've always had some guys
that got to tag along a little bit."
Top recruiting classes is where
the process begins. A&M brought
in Top Five recruiting classes in
1987, 1990, 1991, and again this
year. Good recruiting has become
one of the newest traditions in Ag-
gieland in the last five years.
"We've been successful, and
we have a great university, so we
attract good football players," said
Bob Toledo, A&M's offensive co
ordinator. "Good football players
want to go to good schools and
play with the best, and have the
chance to win and compete and
play to their potential."
A&M Recruiting Coordinator
Tim Cassidy said the snowball of
good football players goes beyond
the location of the University and
the number of players in the state
of Texas.
"It's also a tribute to the job the
coaches have done," Cassidy said.
"We have turned out a number of
great linebackers over the years.
"We've got all the facilities and
everything to bring those guys
along. We like to think that over
the years we've been able to re
cruit some of the best players.
"It's a selling point for us," he

to play professionally. "We have
somewhere in the Top 10 in the
country the number of guys play
ing NFL football, which in most
high school football players is one
of their dreams, though not al
ways a realistic one. But it let's
them know that we have the
coaches, facilities, and technology
to put guys in the next league."
John David Crow, the 1957
Heisman Trophy winner and pre
sent athletic director at A&M, said
the success of the football program
is a credit to the coaching staff's
ability to help young athletes
grow into football players.
"When the players get here,
the great amount of talent is one
thing," Crow explained. "But the
way you motivate them and the
way you handle them is a direct
relation to how the head coach
and assistant coaches handle these
individuals.
"A 17-year-old youngster may
be 6-foot-5 or 6-foot-6 and he may
weigh 260 pounds and might have
to shave twice a day. But he's still
only 17 years old, and he's got the
mentality of a 17-year-old."
NFL teams have been anything
but shy when it comes to drafting
Southwest Conference players.
The often-nicknamed "So What
Conference" has given its share of
talent to the next level.
Last year, Texas defensive
back Stanley Richard and offen
sive lineman Stan Thomas were
first-round selections in the draft.
Houston's Andre Ware and Bay
lor's James Francis were two of the
top 10 picks in the 1990 draft.
Webb, a former A&M offen
sive lineman, was the seventh se
lection in that draft. In 1980, Dick
ey was taken by the Baltimore
Colts with the fifth pick.
Childress was the third overall
selection in the 1985 draft and has
gone on to an All-Pro career with
the Houston Oilers. He said there
were many reasons why he was
one of the top players drafted.
"There was top-level competi
tion," Childress said. "They play
a lot of great teams every year in
the conference and whoever they
play on the schedule.
"They also had a great weight
program. All that kind of speaks
for itself. A&M's got a lot of play
ers in the pros."

Considering the strength of the
league this season, Johnson be
lieves that if A&M keeps its
hold on second place, it sn

"I feel like we've got a

Lack of funds for women's soccer hurts team, Hickey says
Continued from Page 5
Hickey said it was unfair for
the girls to suffer because of insuf
ficient funding.
"Unless we could fund soccer
properly and treat the kids like
they should be treated, our hands
were tied," she said.
Corrigan also felt it would be
detrimental to the players to con
tinue the program.
"Instead of doing something
halfway, it is better not to do it at
all," he said.
Hamre said that although
women's club soccer will be of
fered, the girls want to compete at
the NCAA level and they are hop
ing that their good record will
help in their effort.
"Our coach is writing lettersto
some magazines to let them know
the program is being cut," sht
said. "We had a good record (11-
6-2) and we're hoping we can gel
some support."
