If only the most talent
ed teams, players or indi
viduals were victorious in
sports, the whole point in
playing them would be
useless.
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

Old-timer’s game cures baseball blues

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.
