With the season due to start in less than a month and no coach in sight, the ‘98 campaign was al ready in a state of turmoil. On Aug. 25. the athletic depart ment announced the hiring of coach Dave Hartman, who left his program at the University of Texas- San Antonio to lead the Aggies. After meeting Hartman, sopho more Brooke Edwards said she had a positive feeling about her new coach. “He makes us a lot more moti vating toward each other," Ed wards said. Not only can he motivate, but he can relate to his runners. Hanman is a young coach; he graduated from the University of Texas-San Antonio in 1996. Edwards said the reason Hart man relates well is because he is a runner and was recently in the same situation as the team. “He ran long distance at the col lege level,** Edwards said. "He's been there, and he was there just a couple of years ago.” Indeed, Hartman has been there. His running resume is long and impressive. As a high school senior in Santa Clarita, Calif.. Hart man posted a mile time of 4 min utes and 13 seconds. Even more impressive was his two-mile time of 8:58, putting him on an elite list of high school students to break the nine-minute mark. On top of that, he placed third at the Kinney (now Foot Locker) National Cross Coun try Championships. His modesty in admitting to his nationally-ranked times is slight ly amusing. “1 had a pretty good high school career, 1 guess,” Hartman said. His accomplishments earned him a spot on the cross country and track team at Villanova University, a school known for excellent dis tance running. “We were always one of the top five programs in cross country [in the nation],” Hartman said. Despite the success and All- American honors, Hartman said he felt alone during the track season, which concentrated mainly on the middle distances of 800- and 1,500- meters.

BRANDS rsity declares A- iman ineligible f Johnson, McGvi' rematch tonight »er Vaniha Ice WaVker, Rogi ickoff. ST. LOUIS (AP) — When Randy Johnson faces Mark McGwire for the second time in 11 days Wednes day night, he’ll have a tough time duplicating the conditions. This time he’ll face baseball’s newest home run king on the road and outdoors. And, Johnson is healthy. “If 1 knew 1 was going to get the same results, I would do something to get the flu,” Johnson said Tues day. “Obviously I’m healthy now and I don’t know if that’s going to be a plus or a minus. “I was pretty happy with the re sults the last time we faced him in Houston.” Johnson felt so lousy he nearly skipped his Sept. 12 start against the St. Louis Cardinals in the As trodome. He beat them anyway without his A material and 98- mph fastballs, holding McGwire to 0-for-2 with a walk in Hous ton’s 3-2 victory. “It was a situation where 1 had to go out there and pitch more than trying to overpower everybody,’’ Johnson said. The matchup between Johnson, an 18-game winner with six shutouts and more than 300 strike outs, and the all-or-nothing McG wire is a baseball classic. Johnson relishes such confrontations. “It’s kind of a clash of two pow ers, a guy that throws hard and a guy that hits the ball far,” Johnson said. “That’s what the fans want to see. “They want to see Mark McG wire hit home runs and 1 guess they want to see me throw fast- balls and strike people out. They surely don’t want to see me walk arch him, that’s fors Cardinals niac' Russa discounted! gestion that the As" | of the darker pi# that it helps John; with a 1.28 ERAanJ ,Y PATRICK Pi since joining Hou?
