Walking on thin a
Texas A&M Track and Field Teams to compete in
By Michael Ferguson
Staff writer
In the rarefied air of Reno, Nev., the lack of oxygen
can be somewhat troublesome to those accustomed
to sea-level elevation. To a distance runner who de
pends on every last breath of air, it can make life ab
solutely unbearable.
Consequently, this weekend when the Texas A&M
Track and Field Teams travel to Reno to compete in the
Bill Cosby Invitational, they will be at less-than-fuli
strength. Coach Ted Nelson alluded to this fact.
“It’s not very advantageous to our distance run
ners,” Nelson said. “We won’t be taking any of them
up there. We’re trying for good times and the eleva
tion makes it difficult."
However, if there is a silver lining to the elevation ex
perienced in this weekend’s meet, as well as next weekend
in Colorado Springs, it is that higher elevation typically
leads to faster sprint times and higher or longer jumps.
“Our sprinters love it,” Nelson said. “We should have
some really fast times.”
With predetermined qualification times set for na
tionals, these benchmarks will be more attainable than
ever these next two weekends. This weighs heavily on
the crew of sprinters, including junior Toya Jones.
“Hopefully, we’ll all get some good times and quali
fy for nationals,” Jones said. “Once we go to Reno and
Colorado, we should be all right."
In addition to the sprinters, the jumpers and vaulters
should also benefit from the thin air in Nevada. Sopho
more pole vaulter Jon Nance mentioned a previous ex
perience at the track in Reno.
“I vaulted there once in high school, and that’s where
I first got my PR (provisional),” Nance said. “So hope
fully I can keep going up.”
Although the Aggies are traveling with a somewhat re
duced squad, they should still compete quite effectively.
“There won’t be a lot of big teams up there,” Nelson
said. “We’ll be as big of a team as anybody up there.”
Regardless, the Aggies will still face tough compe
tition. Representativ

Swimming and Diving teams in action Friday, Sat
By Aaron Meier
Staff writer
For four seniors of the Texas
A&M Swimming and Diving teams,
this Saturday’s meet against the
Rice Owls at 1 p.m. at the Student
Recreation Center Natatorium
marks the last dual meet of their
collegiate career.
Swimmers Stacie Karnes and Jer-
rod Kappler, diver Jodi Janssen and
undergraduate assistant Coach Dan-
nee Mastagni will be honored at the
meet for their contributions to the
aquatic program.
However, it is back to business for
the teams as they take to the water
against Rice soon thereafter.
Susan Wolfle, assistant women’s
coach, said swimming against for
mer Southwest Conference oppo
nent Rice should be a challenge.
“Rice always swims well this time
of year,” Wolfle said. “Considering it
is two weeks out from our conference
meet, both teams should swim well.”
Even though Wolfle said she ex
pects the women to defeat the
Rice squad, not every victory is
guaranteed. Last year, Rice de
feated the Aggies.
“It just depends on which team is
more ready,” she said.
Despite high confidence, the
competition in several events will
be tough. Freshman sprinter Kelly
Bolton will face Rice’s Cory Teague,
who holds the Rice school record
in the 50-yard freestyle. Bolton,
