See Swim/ Page 10 Aggie track team jump starts season By Stewart Doreen The Baltalion The Texas A&M men's and women's track and field teams brought a limited number of par ticipants on Saturday to Norman, Ok., but were still able to make great strides in opening the 1994 indoor season, said Texas A&M's head track coach. Head coach De Nelson said the meet, which included squads from the University of Oklahoma, Baylor, TCU and the University of Texas at. Arlington, as a "see- where-we-are meet." He emphasized that before the meet that the teams' conditioning that was already limited due to the late start of the spring would be tested. The Aggies came through on Saturday with some quality per formances. •Mast Miller used a strong kick to pass two of the nation's better quarter-milers down the stretch in route to his victory in the men's 600-meter run. •Freshman Larry Wade started his career with an impressive sec ond place finish in the men's 55- meter hurdles. A&M's Curt Young and Richard Murphy took third and fourth place, respective ly. •Kendrick Smith won the men's Long Jump with a leap of 23-7. Phillip Madkins took third place with a 22-9 jump. • Anjanette Kirkland dominat ed the women's 55-meter hurdles with a first-place time of 7.93. • Belle, Cecille and April San- galang said their success was be cause of a "better holiday running schedule" to finish second, third and fifth in the women's 1000-me ter run. Field Coach Abe Brown said the meet gave the season a posi tive outlook. "I am pleased with the perfor mance," Brown said. "It is a good start and we'll have to continue to work towards the Southwest Con ference Championships." Coach Nelson said he expects the Aggies will carry the full team to Oklahoma City for the Sooner Classic next weekend.
