In stead he is peaking for the Southwest Conference Cross Country Championships be ginning today in Waco. “I’ve been shooting for this all year,” Priest said. “It’s hard to be spectacular early if you want to be spectacular late. I think you have to run 10 to 15 miles a day. You have to work all year and shoot for a couple of months.” Even though Priest’s per formance earlier this season was not spectacular by his standards, it was still pretty good. In the four meets Priest has entered this season, he has finished second in three of them. “You really can’t dwell on a meet in early September,” Priest said. “You have to time everything right and not peak too early. The key is getting rest because you are going to be in shape for the race. Right now, I’m in the best shape of my life.” Last year, Priest finished fourth at the SWC meet and made it to the NCAA Champi onships as an individual qual ifier. “He’s doing really well this year,” Texas A&M Cross Country Coach Greg Hinze said. “Sometimes runners think it’s their birthright to get back to the NCAA’s. But Matt hasn’t approached it that way at all.” Priest said he approaches it differently because of the way he feels about running. “I definitely have a love for the sport,” Priest said. “Cross country is a great opportunity Octo Tim Mooj^THEtaJ Senior Cross Country runner Matt Priest jogs past Kyle Field last Mo day afternoon. Priest will compete in the SWC Championshipstodaf. to see the outdoors. You are out there running with nature instead of on a track. “It’s a different kind of high because you’re not running circles. Your always looking down a path, viewing where you need to be. It’s more chal lenging running on the hills and in the mud than it is just running laps.” Right now the challenge for the favored Priest is the SWC Championships. “All I want to do is onto the course and knowtk there is nothing I could kt done different for the race, Priest said. “We’re (heaal the other top contestants) al very close, so I’m going halt to do it right. I’d say this ra« is probably 75 percent mental “I don’t have to win. have to race better than level have before. That’s life,” Soccer team takes two in Florida □ The Aggies' to 16-4-0 with the weekend sweep. Staff and Wire Reports Stew Milne, Tm: Battai ion Texas A&M's Bryn Blalack brings the ball upfield against Texas Tech. Blalack scored two game-winning goals this weekend in two games. Bryn Blalack’s goal in the 109th minute lifted Texas A&M/ a 1-0 overtime victory over Cen tral Florida at the UCF Soccer Complex on Sunday afternoon, A&M, now 16-4-0 and ranked 10th nationally, out shout UCF 26-3, With four minutes gone by in the second overtime period, Blalack controlled a rebound near the back post and fired home the game-winner from eight yards out. Freshman forward Nicole Shooks scored two goals to lead the Texas A&M Soccer Team to a 3-2 victory over the 21st-ranked University of Florida Friday in Gainesville. “A lot can be said for this team’s ability to come back after being down 2-0 against a Top 25 team on the road in front of a large, boisterous crowd,” Guerri- eri said. “This win was good for us. It shows that we can come back from a tough defeat at SMU against a good solid team like Florida.” The Aggies now take the rest of the week off from playing in preparation for the Southwest Conference Tournament.

Place Your Ad In The Battalion Call 845-2696 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - On the day he became the NFL’s ca reer leader in receiving yards, Jerry Rice was thinking only about the pass he didn’t catch. Rice had eight receptions for 108 yards Sunday, bringing his career total to 14,040 yards and surpassing James Lofton’s mark of 14,004 yards. But Rice was upset at himself for failing to catch a bomb from Elvis Grbac late in the San Francisco 49ers’ 11-7 loss to the New Orleans Saints. The pass went off the fingertips of Rice, who was tightly covered by cor- nerback Jimmy Spencer. “The ball was up there and I hands on it, and if you have your hands on it you should get the ball.” The long pass came with about 2:30 remain ing in the game and the 49ers facing a third-and-18 at the New Or leans 49. San Francisco punted on the next play and never got the ball back. “I should have made the catch,” Rice said. “If I would have made it, we would have won the football game.” Rice Rice, already the NFL’s ca- reer leader in touchdowns with 148, surpassed Lofton’s total when he caught a 13' yard pass from Grbac intbt second quarter. After the catch, 49ers fullback William Floyd hugged Rice and pointed to the huge stadia® screen flashing news of record to fans. Floyd then bowed to Rice as referee Larry Ne mers announced to the crowd: “Congratulations to Jerrj Rice on breaking the all-time re ceiving record in the National Football League.” The game was stopped mentarily, but the celebration didn’t last long — Grbac thre" an interception two plays later. Lofton played 16 seasons fo r Green Bay, the Los Angele® Raiders, Buffalo, the Los Ange les Rams and Philadelphia.
