The Texas A&M men’s track
and field team received many
top-notch performances but
for the second straight year
finished second behind the
University of Texas at the
men’s Southwest Conference
Championships this weekend
in Houston.
Scott Garvin led the way
collecting 1 8 points for the
Aggies.
He won the men’s 1,500-
meters with a time of
3:48.63. He would come
back two hours later to take
second place in the men’s
5,000-meters and take his
spot as the elite long distance
runner in the conference.
"We felt Scott would be the
man to beat in the 1,500,” As-
istant Coach Ed
Marcinkiewicz. “He (Garvin)
ame here with a mission to
prove he was the best in the
inference, mission accom-
efofiyi^T 1 " . , , , .
The Aggies also scored big
n the men’s decathlon, a
competition that is becoming
i tradition at Texas A&M.
Sophomore Richard Harri-
;on and freshman Ryan Theri-
mlt placed first and third, re-
pectively, with strong perfor-
ances in the ten-event com-
oetition.
Harrison won the de-
:athlon with a score of 7177,
:asily taking the title and giv
ing him his second provision-
mark of the outdoor season.
“Last year, Harrison came
ere as a favorite and lost that

Adams, Glenn,
Hill taken in
NFL’s draft
The Associated Press
DALLAS — The only Texans
taken in the first round of Sun
day’s National Football League
draft were from perennial
Southwest Conference champi
on Texas A&M.
The Aggies set a school
record with the three first
rounders — the same number
of SWC players drafted in the
second round.
All-American defensive end
Sam Adams was the first draft
ed, going to the Seattle Sea-
hawks with the eight pick.
Adams will team up with
All-Pro defensive tackle Cortez
Kennedy in Seattle, and the duo
will anchor a Seahawks line that
could be scary.
“They (the Seahawks) have
two people now who are going
have to be dealt with,’’ said
A&M defensive line coach Bill
Johnson, who coached Adams
for three years.
Adams, a 6-2, 292-pound
junior, had 101/2 sacks, 13
tackles for loss and 1 6 quarter
back pressures last season.
Some draft analysts expressed

Greg Hill (above) and Sam Adams were both taken in the first round of the NFL draft
on Sunday. Hill was selected twenty-fifth, while Adams (the eighth pick overall) was
the first of three Aggies selected. Aaron Glenn was also selected in the first round.
concern about the third lineman
taken in the draft. His practice
habits had been questioned, and
he has been criticized for some
times inconsistent play.
“I think he’s going to grow
up,” Johnson said. “He’s never
had a chance to grow up, since
he started playing as soon as he
got here as a freshman. Any
time he’s had problems he’s
overcome them.’
All-American defensive back
Aaron Glenn was the next Texan
to go, taken by the New York
Jets with the 12th pick.
The Jets traded up to take
Glenn, a senior, sending New
Orleans their 13th choice in the
first round and a fifth-round
choice.
Glenn, 5-8 and 184 pounds,
was the second defensive back
taken, behind Alabama’s Anto
nio Langham at No. 9. Glenn
was the nation’s leading punt
returner with a 19.9-yard aver
age and had two touchdowns.
Glenn, the SWC defensive
player of the year and a solid
man-to-man defender, was fore
cast to go before Langham.
“Different teams want differ
ent people. Tm just happy I’m a
Jet, Glenn told KTCK-AM in
Dallas. “I’m just glad I’m the
guy they wanted. You never go
out there and say, T should have
been the first one taken.’”
Aggies running back Greg
Hill was a late first-round pick,
going to Kansas City with the
25 th pick.
Hill may help the Chiefs’
running back situation that
looked somewhat shaky. Earlier
this year, they cut Harvey
Williams, and last year Marcus
Allen, 34, was the primary run
ner.
Hill, a 5-10, 206-pound ju
nior, was the first back in South
west Conference history to rush
for 1,000 yards in his freshman
and sophomore years.
