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." Lady Ags Continued from Page 5 as starter Kelly Cemy sat out the V , 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?

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.
