History in the makin
Women harriers in NCAAs for
By Diane Xavier
The Battalion
Texas A&M cross country coach Dave Hartman said
he will never forget the first season he trained the young,
inexperienced Aggie women's squad in 1998.
“I didn’t know what to expect at that time,” Hartman
said. “I wasn’t confident in how we would race and finish
with all the fresh new faces I had to work with back then.”
The 1998 team has blossomed into one of the strongest
teams in the nation by becoming A&M’s first women’s
cross-country team to win the NCAA South,Central Re
gional on Nov. 11 in Denton.
The victory allows the Aggie women’s team to com
pete at the national meet in Ames, Iowa today for the first
time in school history.
The women’s 6,000-meter race is set for 11 a.m.
“Winning regionals and qualifying for nationals is a
tremendous accomplishment for us,” Hartman said. “All
those years of training have finally paid off for the
women’s squad.”
The victory boosted the women’s ranking to No. 16
after upsetting heavily favored Arkansas at the NCAA
South Central Regional meet.
Despite the team’s recent progression in the polls,
Hartman said he believes his team still does not get
enough credit.
“We should be ranked higher,” he said. “We’ve beat
en teams that are ahead of us in the polls, like 15th-ranked
Brown University. I really don’t understand the polls.”
Despite having its strongest season ever, A&M has
received low rankings.
For example, in the A&M invitational that the women
won, the team was dropped three spots in the rankings
from No. 18 to No. 21. Also, after A&M took fourth at
the Big 12 championships in Boulder, Colo., the school’s
highest finish at a conference meet since 1991, the na
tional poll dropped A&M three spots to No. 24.
Nevertheless, Hartman said his team is not going to
worry about where his team stands.
“In this race, anything can happen,” Hartman said. “If
only one girl fails behind, then that puts our whole team
back. There is a lot more pressure to perform well because
one little mess-up can cost us the race.”

A&M’s top performance of the weekend was in the
last event of the meet. The men closed out the competi
tion in style by cruising to a victory in the 400-yard
freestyle relay with an NCAA automatic qualifying time
of 2:55.32. That time will send the relay team, composed
of Matt Rose, David Morrow, Riley Janes and Keven
Kehlenbach. to the NCAA Championships, which A&M
is hosting at the Student Recreation Center Natatorium
in March.
Overall, the relays in the invitational belonged to the
A&M men. They won four of the five relays and fin
ished second in the 800-yard freestyle relay.
In the four relays in which the men did not reach the
automatic time, they still made the NCAA considera
tion times. That means that all of A&M’s relay teams
could end up at the NCAA Championships.
“Our strength is definitely our relays,” Nash said, “That
is our claim to fame ... the last few years, and they are
pulling some individual swims out of our guys.”
