The most notable performance came from A&M senior decathlete Kendall Madden. Madden finished 10th in the decathlon with a score of 7,240. “Kendall was battling to the very end and just missed scoring some points for us, but it’s a great honor to be named All-American,” Aggie coach Ted Nelson said. Madden’s top scores came in his third-place finish in the 400- Meter dash and his two fourth- place finishes in the 100-meter dash and the pole vault. This was Madden’s last appear ance on the track as an Aggie. “He’s been a tremendous leader for our team over the past five years, and his leadership will be sorely missed next season,” Nel.son said. “He left a legacy for his younger teammates to follow.” Sophomores Kris Allen and Bashir Ramzy also had a good showing in Boise. Both raced in the semifinals of the 110-Meter hurdles. “Both Kris and Bashir ran very well today,” Nelson said. Ramzy came in sixth place with a time of 14.35. Allen came in fourth place in the with a time of 13.82 and went on to finish 8th in the finals with a time of 13.92. “You never know how sopho mores are going to react at their first national meet, but they weren’t phased by the pressure. They have extremely bright futures,” Nelson said. The men’s 4x100 meter relay team finished with an impressive time of 39.69. Charles Allen, Billy Fobbs, Mike Price and Toya Jones teamed up to earn a sixth place finish. The women also had some top finishers in the meet.

(AP) — For the first time in the 23 years since they joined the NBA, the San Antonio Spurs are in the Finals. And they go there as one of the hottest playoff teams ever. The Spurs won their 10th straight playoff game, one short of the league record, and swept the Portland Trail Blazers from the Western Conference finals with a 94-80 victory Sunday. The Blazers, swept in a seven-game series for the first time in the franchise’s history, challenged San Antonio with a second-half surge that briefly gave Portland the lead. But Tim Duncan had two t h r e e - p o i n t plays, a spectac ular slam dunk and a series of big defensive plays to help the Spurs pull away. The Spurs buried the he b re defin Knicks, Pacers eye NEW YORK (AP) — Latrell Sprewell will move into the start ing lineup and Reggie Miller promises to shoot more in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals. With both teams still shaking their heads Sunday over the unlikely finish to Game 3, the coaches of the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers plotted major strategy changes for Monday night. Sprewell, who has been unhap py coming off the bench all sea son, will move into the starting five in place of Kurt Thomas as the Knicks employ a smaller lineup. “It’s the way I think we can win the series,” Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy said. “We caught a miracle last night — we all know it.” Miller, who has not been a DUNCAN Blazers with a 71 percent shoot ing performance in the fourth quarter (12-for-17). San Antonio put away their biggest victory ever with a 17-4 run. Duncan and Sean Elliott each scored five points and Avery Johnson had four in the decisive surge. The first of Jaren Jackson’s three 3-pointers in the fourth quarter put the Spurs up 81-67 with 7:09 to play. David Robinson, finally in the NBA Finals in his 10th season, had 20 points and 10 rebounds. Duncan, who had just five points in Game 3, had 18 points and eight rebounds in Game 4. Elliott scored 16. Johnson, the point guard Damon Stoudamire said would never lead a team to a championship, had 15 points and six assists. Stoudamire, l-for-12 in Portland’s embarrassing 85-63 loss Friday night, was 9-for-13 for 21 points. Rasheed Wallace, the Blazers’ lone consistent offensive threat in the series scored 17, while Isaiah Rider had 12. San Antonio is 11-1 in the playoffs, 6-0 on the road. After winning the first-round series with Minnesota 3-1, the Spurs swept the Los Angeles Lakers and the Blazers. Now they go back to San Antonio to await the outcome of the Eastern Conference finals. New York leads Indiana 2-1 in that series. The Spurs beat the Blazers for the seventh straight time. Of Portland’s five home losses, three were to San Antonio. Never a flashy bunch, the Spurs celebrated only with hugs and high fives. San Antonio is the first of the four old ABA teams to make it to the NBA Finals. Indiana could join them if the Pacers beat the Knicks. Portland trailed nearly all of the first half but the Blazers did not roll over and die. Trailing 48-36 on Elliott’s 3- pointer with 10:24 to go in the third quarter, Portland came back with a 14-4 run. Brian Grant’s 16-footer from the baseline cut the lead to 52- 50 with 6:16 left in the quarter. Wallace’s three-point play got Portland within 56-55 with 4:01 changes for GameulJub c ‘ .. irf vain dominating presence on ote le et j ljc will be asked to carry moreol^ m . t t(J load for the Pacers.
