The Texas A&M Track and Field
Team concluded its indoor season
last weekend at the Big 12 Indoor
Conference Championships in
Ames, Iowa. In a tremendous con
trast to last year’s Conference
Championships, the Aggies fared
well this season and could send as
many as 12 athletes to the NCAA
Championships in Indianapolis,
Ind., on March 13-14, compared
to just one a year ago.
Welcome To The Club
While in Ames, the Aggies
acquired four more automatic
qualifications and seven provi
sional qualifications. In the 200-
meter dash, senior Billy Fobbs
automatically qualified with his
time of 20.92 seconds, which was
also a Big 12-meet record.
Sophomore Richard McDonald,
who had previously provisionally
qualified in the pole vault,
increased that to an automatic
qualification with his vault of 18
feet, 0.05 inches, which tied
McDonald with the Texas A&M
record and earned him a second-
place finish. Other automatic
qualifiers included seniors Larry
Wade and Adrien Sawyer, who
had each already automatically
qualified in their respective
events. Wade, however, set the
meet record with his blistering
time of 7.09 seconds in the 55-
meter hurdles.
The provisional qualifiers were
comprised of sophomore Johan
Lannefors in the 400-meter dash,
junior Detrich Clariett in the
triple-jump, and the 1,600-meter
relay of junior Derrick Woods,
Lannefors, Wade and senior Mike
McKinney. Fobbs, sophomore
Jon Nance, junior Mike Lowrance
and sophomore Chimika Carter
each renewed their provisional
qualifications, with only Nance
and Clariett improving their pre
vious marks.
Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down
After missing the entire indoor
season a year ago due to an injury,
there must have been some spec
ulation surrounding the return of
Wade to the indoor track this
year. Those who had doubts
quickly had a change of heart
when, in his first meet back, Wade
smoked the competition for a
first-place finish in Houston. He
hasn’t looked back since.

Eddie Sutton ought to know a
thing or two about conference
coach-of-the-year awards.
In 27 years, he had won six in
three different leagues. Now, in
the 28th year of a much-honored
career, he’s won seven in four.
A panel of 24 media representa
tives, noting his 21-5 record with a
team most expected to finish no
higher than seventh, made him an
easy winner Thursday of The
Associated Press Big 12 coach of
the year award.
“The problem with these things
is the assistant coaches and the
players don’t get the recognition
they deserve,” said Sutton, who
was previously chosen top coach
with Arkansas in the Southwest
Conference, Kentucky in the
Southeastern Conference and
Oklahoma State in the Big Eight.
“There’s always an element of
luck involved in having a good
season, but this team has also had
the ability,” Sutton said.
The former Oklahoma State
player under the legendary
Henry Iba drew 20 votes, while
three went to Kansas’ Roy
Williams and one to Kelvin
Sampson of Oklahoma.
Even Sutton, the only man to
take four different teams to the
NCAA tournament, admits these
1997-98 Cowboys have had “a
Cinderella year.” Most observers
picked Oklahoma State no better
than seventh and at least a couple
had them slated for dead last in
the Big 12’s second season. The
previous year, they were 17-15.
“It’s been a fun year,” Sutton
said. “Any time you surpass what
everybody predicts your team
will do, it’s satisfying. We’re a
young team, but they have made
a lot of progress.
“I knew we were a lot better
than last.”
Like a master mechanic build

spare parts, Sutton created a team
