BY TOM KENNEDY
The Battalion
The good news is that the Big 12 Outdoor
Championships are still three months away.
The bad news is that the Texas
A&M Men’s and Women’s
Track and Field Teams will be
spending it trying to rebound
from their disappointing fin
ishes in the Big 12 Indoor
Track and Field Champi
onships in Lawrence, Kan. last
weekend.
The women placed ninth
overall with 46 1/2 points be-
CLARIETT
hind number one-ranked University of Texas,
which came out on top with 150 points.
Field events were the women’s main scor
ing threat over the weekend as senior Detrich
Clariett claimed third place in the triple jump
with a mark of 42 feet and 3 1/4 inches. It was
her fourth provisional qualifying mark for the
NCAA meet this season.
Junior Chimika Carter took fourth and
freshman Shylia Williams took fifth in the
long jump with leaps of 19-07 and 19-03 1/2,
respectively, making the long jump one of the
Aggies’ biggest scoring events of the weekend.
Freshman Kendra Reimer began to fulfill
expectations with a fifth place finish in the
pentathlon with a point total of 3,728.
Reimer is the nation’s top rated incoming
heptathlete according to TYack and Field News
and she also owns the national high school
heptathlon record.
In running events, sophomore Christina
Ohaeri placed third in the 60 meter high hur
dles in 8.51 seconds.
The men ended up in tenth after scoring 42
points, 71 less than the standard that meet
champion Texas set with their score of 113
points.
Junior Richard McDonald led the men with
his third place finish in the pole vault after
clearing 17 feet and 4 1/2 inches, an NCAA
ere
provisional qualifying mark.

STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
The No. 24 Texas A&M Women’s

ished fourth at the 1999 Phillips
66/Big 12 Conference Champi
onships in Austin this weekend.
The Aggies finished with a
three-day total of 462.00, 419.5
points behind winner and host Uni
versity of Texas.
Junior TVacy Evans captured her
third consecutive Big 12 title in the
1,650-yard freestyle with a time of
16:39.35 She also won the event in
1997 (16:42.87) and 1998
(16:33.95).
Evans said her past successes
gave her a psychological edge in the
event.
“I had a lot of confidence going
into this race because I had won it
in both my freshman and sopho
more years,” she said. “I feel con
fident about my chance to make
the NCAA (championship) meet in
Georgia, and I look forward to end
ing the season with my best per
formance there.”
Also coming up big for the Aggies
was freshman Clara Ho, who set an
A&M varsity record in the 200-yard
butterfly with a time of 1:59.50, good
for second in the event. Ho also set
a Big 12 record with a time of 54.53
to win the 100-yard butterfly. Ho was
named 1999 Big 12 Newcomer of the
Meet, and both of her butterfly times
qualified her for the NCAA Division
I Championships in Athens, Ga. t
March 18-20.
Ho said her performances met
her expectations for the meet.
“I’m so excited to have my au
tomatic cuts and not have to wait
and see the other times around the
country,” she said. “It was my goal
time in the 200-fly. It’s been a goal
of mine for at least two-and-one-
half years to go under two minutes
in the 200-fly.”
Junior Monica Williams had
strong performances all week
end, producing NCAA considera
tion times in the 100-yard freestyle
(50.93) and 200-yard freestyle
(1:50.34). Junior Monica Stroman
also set a consideration time in
the 200-yard breaststroke at
2:17.52.

ond overall in the platform events
behind defending champion Laura
Wilkinson of Texas with a total of
634.50 points. Freshman Meghan
