Special to The Battalion
When all was said and done af
ter the 1993 Women's Southwest
Conference Swimming and Div
ing Championships ended in
Austin on Saturday night. The
Texas A&M Lady Aggies had tak
en third place with 19 medals and
had broken six school records.
Four women would be looking
forward to swimming 13 races at
the NCAA Championships in
three weeks.
"We were pretty much locked
into third before the meet start
ed," A&M coach Mel Nash said.
"Texas and SMU are top five in
the country and the rest of the
teams don't have the depth we
do, so our main objective was not
to fight for place, it was qualifying
as many ladies for nationals as
possible, and we have done a very
good job of that this weekend,"
Nash added.
According to Nash, the Lady
Aggies best opportunity for quali
fying was in the last event of the
meet, the 400 freestyle relay.
Nash proved to be correct as
the A&M relay made up of De-
nean Knapp, Julie Bates, Jennifer
Saul and Kim Smith bettered the
NCAA Championships automatic
qualifying time of 3:23.11 by turn
ing in a silver medal-winning
3:22.72 heat.
That makes the four women on
that relay eligible to swim in any
and all events that they have indi
vidual NCAA consideration times
for.
Assistant coach Jay Holmes
said that he thinks that making
the automatic cut in the 400-
freestyle relay gives the women
more than just the opportunity to
swim their individual events.
"Getting cuts in the very last
event raises the self esteem of the
whole team," Holmes said. "Now
we have a bona fide shot at scor
ing well as a team on the national
level.
It's the big show and that's
what this is all about."
Three of the four national
qualifiers are underclassmen, but
Nash believes that youth will not
be a hindrance.
For the two Freshmen, Knapp
and Bates, this is a great experi
ence," he said. "They've made
some impressive drops to qualify
and we're excited that they are
getting this kind of experience so
early in their collegiate careers, in
individual events as well as re
lays."
Bates is qualified to swim the
50-, 100-, and 200-freestyles while
Knapp is qualified in the 50-, and
100-freestyles.
Both women will be on the 200-
freestyle relay and 200- and 400-
medley relays as well as the 400-
freestyle relay.
Saul, a Sophomore, has quali
fied to swim the 50- and 100-
freestyles as well as the same re
lays as Knapp and Bates.
"This is nice justice for Jen
nifer," Nash said. "She is one of
the hardest working sprinters I've
ever seen, and it has paid off."
Smith, a Senior All-American,
will end her swimming career as
the fourth leg of the relays, as well
as swimming the 50- and 100-
freestyles.
Nash said that he would like to
see Smith finish out her career
with another All-America honor.
In addition to the sprinters,
freshman backstroker Hadas Fade
broke A&M school records in
both the 100- and 200-backstrokes.

"Our offense really came
through today, getting the runs
when we needed them," Granger
said. "I had a good game. We
needed that because the guy
from Pan Am pitched well also."
Following Granger's stellar
performance, fellow southpaw
Kelly Wunsch tried to one-up
him by recording ten strikeouts
in only six innings of work. The
junior combined with freshman
righthander John Codrington on
a four-hitter.
"I had to battle back, but I was
able to get them out with my
curveball, which was nice," Wun
sch said. "I was not bashful in
using it today when I needed to."
The second game, though, be
longed to Chad Alexander.
Alexander, mired in a season
long slump, broke out of it in
style in the second inning, when
he hit Bronc pitcher Rodd Kurtz's
initial offering over the left field
fence for his first collegiate home
run, staking A&M to a 3-0 lead.
"After I hit it, I let out a big
sigh of relief," Alexander said. "I
finally got a break in that he
threw me a fastball. I have been
seeing nothing but curveballs.
"I am glad that I finally came
through for the team."

entire second half.
Hickey said that Bartlett had
the best ability of all the centers
to get up and down the floor, and
her height and reach made it pos
sible to get rebounds away from
smaller opponents.
Bartlett said that the coach
simply showed faith in her and
the rest of the reserves.
"It was my turn to go out
there and play," Bartlett said. "It
was the first time I've ever gotten
on the floor and played like I
have been in practice with no fear
at all, just going out there and
playing."
At the end of the game, Hick
ey told her players to applaud
the subs, ana gave her struggling
starters a vote of confidence.
"What we expressed to them
at the end of the game was we
need to celebrate for these kids
who have practiced so many
months and years and weeks;
that they had some success," she
said.
"And the rest of you - hey,
chill. It's going to come."
RESEARCH
Panic
Do you experience brief, unexpected periods of intense fear or
discomfort?
Have you visited your doctor or the hospital emergency room because of
chest pains, shortness of breath, numbness or tingling sensations and
find out that you have no physical problems?
These occurrences may have been panic attacks.
VIP Research is conducting a study on Panic Disorder. Individuals
with symptoms of panic attacks are being recruited to participate
in a three month study of an investigational medication for the
treatment of panic disorder. If you would like more information,
call VIP Research. $200.00 will be paid to those individuals who

sophomore. I think it would be
better if he played and you just
came off the bench. You'll get
to play a lot in the next two
years and Donnie's going to be
so sad."
Dad: "Ha! I found it. Now
where's my glasses?"
That conversation sums up
my entire sports life with my
mother. She thought that since
basketball was a game, every
body deserved to have fun. If
the other pdayers practiced as
hard as the first team then they
should play, too. Games were
to be enjoyed, even if it meant
having to embarrass her son.
On one game day I was run
ning late and barely made it to
the game on time. I ran into
the locker room and quickly
started to change into my uni
form when I noticed I was
wearing a pair of baby blue
boxer shorts. I had nothing else
to wear, so I pulled on my
white shorts and ran out to
warm up with the rest of the
team praying that no one
would notice. After the game
started I began to feel more re
laxed because, after running up
the court a couple of times,
there were no boxer shorts to
be seen. But then a foul was
called, and as I walked to the
line a group of people began to
laugh. As I looked into the
faceless crowd, I saw my own
mother pointing out to anyone
around her that my boxer
shorts were now in plain sight.
"Look at David, his boxer
shorts are baby blue. Can you
believe he wore baby blue box
er shorts." Those words still
echo in my mind to this day.
No matter what, she has al
ways been there for me. Just
now she feels sorry for all the
people who can write better
than me but don't have this job.
