( THE BATTALION Cross Country has strong showing at Big 1 4.0 St GO www.4.0andgo.com, or call 696-8886(TUTOR) BERNARDO GARZA/The Battalion A&M's top woman finisher, Melissa Gulli, finished with a time of 21:07. STAFF AND WIRE The Texas A&M women’s cross country team fin ished fourth, its highest ever, in the 2000 Big 12 Cham pionship race, on Saturday at the University of Colorado Buffalo Ranch race course. The men, in what coach Dave Hartman called their best race of the season, fin ished eighth. The Aggies, riding the top-fifteen individual finishes of Melissa Gulli and Andrea Bookout, scored 114 points to earn their highest finish in the five-year history of the conference. Gulli finished with a 21:07 to place 13th while Book out was 14th with a time of 21:11. Hartman said he was pleased with his team's perfor mance at the conference meet. “Finishing fourth at conference is an outstanding ac complishment for this program,” Hartman said. “We ran strong, but we went out a little too hard. Some of the girls had an off day, but our main focus is on qualifying for na tionals in two weeks. Brooke Edwards had a great race in what was her last conference meet. Gulli and Bookout also had great per formances today. We did have a very good conference meet, so I'm proud of the team.” The A&M men had a couple of top-30 fimj Chris Lee and Andrew Cook, which gavel spot. Lee clocked a 26:11 to put him at 29th,! finished riuht behind his teammate at 30th. of 26:12. “The guys actually ran their best raceofthe\ day," Hartman said. “They went out a littlehardl ran a smart race. At altitude, it's hard to gaugeJ it, but we did a good job on that course today. “We put ourselves in a gtxxl position forregii<i can build on what we did today for that meet in tel Host Colorado swept the men’s and womenl ence championships for the second consecutiv|| the third time they have accomplished that lean conference’s inception. The women were led by Kara Wheeler’s sa\ vidual title, tying her own course record with. 19:38. The men finished 1 -2-3-4-6 for an almost pen of 16. Jorge Torres won the individual title with finish.

Check our web page at http://www.4.0andGo.com Continued from Page 7 Stadium in Manhattan. Kan., where the fans flood the 50,000-seat stadi um with Wildcat purple. A&M adapted the tradition to Aggie maroon and an 80,000-plus- seat Kyle Field. Saturday, Kansas State was un able to cope with its own tradition as the Twelfth Man forced Kansas State into multiple delays of game and false starts. “1 thought the crowd was fantas tic,” said A&M coach R.C. Slocum. “It was a beautiful day for college football with a good opponent and the crowd really responded.” Just three weeks earlier, A&M watched its winning streak of 22 games, the third longest in the na tion, come to an end against previ ously winless Colorado. This week, the fans were determined not to lose another one in Kyle Field. So they made it loud. So loud it interrupted Kansas State’s attempts to audible at the line of scrimmage. So loud that it kept the Aggies go ing when the Wildcats gained some third-quarter momentum. “Today was the loudest I’ve ever heard Kyle Field,” said A&M cen ter Seth McKinney. “I was getting a headache out there, but I loved every minute of it. It was great.” A&M’s win over Kansas State not only helped ease the pain of the dramatic Colorado loss at Kyle Field, but also helped restore some of the magic to the Aggies’ home- field advantage. Similar to the team’s perfor mance, the A&M crowds step it up for the biggest games. In a perfect conclusion to the Twelfth Man’s game-making perfor mance at Kyle Field, Jordan, wear ing the No. 12 jersey, ran down the field on the Aggies’ final kickoff and once more made a dramatic hit on Aaron Lockett at the 10-yard line, early in the fourth quarter. It was almost as much of a crip pling blow to Kansas State as the Twelfth Man’s effect in the stands. Jason Lincoln is a junior journalism major. U WQMWfflfl iwere November 19.2:00pm .
