The Aggies tied Kansas State for first place in the first of two shows on Saturday. Oklahoma State finished third by only one point, and host West Texas A&M finished fourth. The Aggies had a commanding 13-point advantage as they headed into the final show. OSU was not going to quit with out a fight and managed to score a re gion season-high 39 points to put the pressure on the Aggies. Freshman rider Stephanie Collins came up big for the Aggies as she won the walk-trot class to give the team a much-needed boost. Another freshman stepped up in a pivotal moment when Beth von Brecht won the intermediate Hat and kept the Aggies in the hunt. Sophomore Melynda Knowles se cured the nationals berth with a sec ond-place finish in the beginner walk-trot class. The Aggie,s edged out OSU by two points, winning the Zone 7 region.

The battle for second was much closer, however, as Nebraska made a late run on A&M by winning the 200-yard breaststroke and the 200- yard butterfly. The Aggies held off the Cornhuskers, and Nebraska fin ished third with 565 points. “We thought second was as good as we could be, and we knew it was going to be tough, and it was,’’ Bult- man said. “Nebraska really came on strong this morning (Saturday) and made us earn it.” The Aggie divers secured the sec ond-place finish for A&M by taking first, second, third and fourth in the platform diving competition. Sophomore Katie Williams sur prised many by winning the event over teammates Marie-Eve Marleau, iMeghan Zack and Cal lie Petroff, who finished second, third and fourth. Williams’ win was the only one for A&M in the championships. “It hasn’t soaked in yet,” Williams said. “I am on cloud nine.” The divers scored a lot of points for A&M in their other events by taking five of the top eight spots in the three-meter dive and by placing third and sixth in the one-meter dive. a We thought second was as good as we could be, and we knew it was going to he tough, and it was.’' Steve Bultman A&M women's swimming coach A&M diving coach Kevin Wright was awarded best women’s diving coach of the meet.

He only hit one of two free throws frowever, and the Aggies never got closer as Missouri hit its free throws to close out the game. “They went through adversity and they've been better because of it,” said Missouri men’s basketball coach Quin Sny der. “I think they’re playing good defense, they’re together, they’re really ath letic and they play hard. 1 thought KING placed third with 76 points.
