BY TOM KENNEDY
The Battalion
'Phis year, as the Tfexas A&M Cross
Country Team prepared to return to
Aggieland for training, they were
welcomed by the news that coach
Greg Hinze had accepted the head
track and field coaching position at
Sam Houston State University.
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. Since the 5,000-meters was

Johnson, McGvi'
rematch tonight

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
