Member FDIC Sports Friday Harriers seek improvemei this weekend at Ricehan By Matt Mitchell The Battalion The Texas A&M Cross Country Team is preparing for its second meet of the year with a specific goal in mind — improvement. The squad will have an opportunity to see how far it has come since its first meet two weeks ago when it com petes at the Rice Invitational in Houston Saturday. “In virtually any sport, but es pecially cross country, you im prove the most from your first contest to the second,” A&M Head Coach Greg Hinze said. This weekend, Hinze and the rest of the Aggie harriers expect positive results against a talented field of six teams. Running at the event is Rice University, Sam Hous ton State, Lamar University, the University of Houston, and ironi cally, the Ragin’ Cajuns of South western Louisiana, a school the Aggie football team knows well. “The favorites are probably Rice and Houston, besides us,” Hinze said. “I expect it to be a good test and show us where we stand as a team.” The Aggies are still in the early stages of the season, because they had last weekend off following the Audubon Invitational on Sept. 7. The Aggies placed well there, with the women and men finish ing 3rd and 5th, respectively. Junior Milli Ondras paced the ladies and Scott Lengefeld was the top male finisher, both com ing in 10th individually. (fs not easy bei homemaking: jiie virtues of t 'olumnist Tim Moog, The 8 H.L.

The two runners are half of the group singled out by Hinze as his top performers this week. "Ondres, Amy Stanberry, Scott Erath and Lengefeld have been my top performers this week in prac tice,” Hinze said. “As an athlete, you must adapt to training. During this recovery week, these four have been our strongest runners. I think they’re ready to run well on Saturday.” The decision to redshirt sever al seniors this season is working out as Hinze expected so far. “I am pleased with how we’ve done so far," Hinze said. “We’re getting our younger runners some good travel experience, so they’ll know what it’s all about unships and especially nexi The team’s practices dim recovery week have consi reduced mileage.

He has confidence in us, and we have con fidence in him.” It has taken Connell awhile to get into the swing of things this season. He had five catches for 32 yards against BYU on Aug. 24, and just four recep tions for 52 yards against the University of South western Louisiana last week. His poor performance against USL sterns from the fact that he did not start because he violated team rules by skipping a class. Connell said he let the team down because he missed the first half of the game, but Head Coach R.C. Slocum told the of- come time for the Big 12 Champi- fense not to let the USL loss stop them “He told us to take it slow and that we’d right,” Connell said. “Most coaches getir [the A&M coaches) are not uptight and si confidence in us.” While Connell has goals set for himself, ensuring the team’s success comes first. "Coming out of junior college, I was conca ing more on the individual," Connell said.“8 year, my goal is to have a great team seasot want to get 1,000 yards this season.” While some collegiate athletes are olci cerned about joining the professional league nell said he takes each game in stride. “1 am looking forward to playing in the pros, want to try and finish school,” Connell said.
