The Bi-
Aggies perform well'
at track championshipP
BY REECE FLOOD
The Battalion
The Texas A&M Men’s and
Women’s Track Teams sent 15
competitors to Boise, Idaho, to
compete in the NCAA Outdoor
Track and Field Championships
on the Idaho State University cam
pus last week.
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.

PORTLAND, Ore. (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

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.
