But talent alone, does n’t always win the big game, the important race or the competition — and that is what makes sports and A&M Cross Country runner Shannon Etchberg- er so interesting. Not as gifted a runner as most of her competi tion, Etchberger more than closes the gap with a tenacious work ethic. “A lot of people may have more talent than she does, but she makes up for that with her work habits,” A&M Head Coach Greg Hinze said. “That’s what separates her from people that get by on tal ent alone. Her work ethic has made her successful.” That hard work can be very time consuming. Etchberger and her team mates work out twice a day, getting up at 6:15 in the morning to train and repeating the ritual later in the day around 5 p.m. That dedication has paid great dividends for Etchberger. The senior from LaPorte has finished in the top six in all five meets she has competed in this season, including run ner-up finishes at the Vanderbilt Invitational and the the Texas A&M Invitational. Hinze said although Etchberger has a low-key personality, her team mates look to her for lead ership. “She brings a lot to the team,” Hinze said. “The rest of the girls look up to her because she’s come a long way. She’s a leader by example.” “Tm not too vocal,” Etchberger said. “If I do what is expected and asked of me, people will see the success that comes with it and will follow that Senior Shannon Etchberger stretches in front of Kyle Field before heraftemw See Etchberger, Page 14 run around campus Monday. Old-timer’s game cures baseball blues W ith the the ° f World Series only games away, I find my self in a state of depression — a state brought on by the end of the baseball season. World Series that will bring baseball to a close for an other season, I will also be able to enjoy some base ball action closer to home. It’s the tradi tional Aggie Base- America’s favorite pastime is my only pastime for a large part of the year, so I find myself won dering what I am going to do with my time now. After all, col lege baseball doesn’t start for another four months. This weekend, while I savor the remaining games in the ball Oldtimer’s Game, and it’s one of my favorites to attend. I love this game, first and foremost, because it’s Aggie Baseball and it’s a chance for me to see past and present Aggie baseball greats come together for a night of great baseball. Some of the players I have seen play before, while others are players that I have only heard of. It’s a great opportunity to see the players I’ve heard stories about, like “Big” John Byington, play the game. I also love this game because it’s free. Where else can you see major league players, former and present, play baseball free of charge. Major leaguers Chuck Knoblauch from the Minnesota Twins (my favorite team) and Scott Livingstone of the San Diego Padres are scheduled to play on Saturday. I am also hoping to see greats from the past four seasons, who either were drafted or graduat ed, like Jeff Granger, Kelly Wun- sch and Rob Trimble. These were all players on the 1993Ag gie baseball team thatmadeitti the College World Series fortke first time since 1964. They also hold the best record in school history at 53-11. This game always gets me excited about the upcomingAg- gie baseball season, and it gives me a chance to see what I can look forward to in the upcoming season. It also makes the wait fertile season to start seem a little shorter because I know that af ter the Oldtimer’s game, the A&M fall world series to con clude offseason workouts is not far behind. In no time, Aggie Baseball will be in full force. 4^ 'fyut one cewdazCCy tftacted to- tTie - £c£t£- cwtUveteevuf cele&iatioa *7Tie ‘TTtetwvUfzC Student Reuter T^ecefitceu- favity - £coe uUuutee attest tTe *7ex<ie /t&TTt- ^oot^uCC yewte Octo&en, 2%, f 995 ‘TTtSd 'pCayneeut, A Aggieland Class of ’98 Sophomore pictures are being taken until Oct. 31 for Texas A&M's JJU Aggieland yearbook.
