THE BATTALION
Riders clinch nationals her
By Cody Stark
The Battalion
Oklahoma State University gave
the TeXas A&M women’s English
equ'estrian team all it could handle
this weekend at West Texas A&M as
the Aggies fended off a late rally to
clinch an automatic berth to nation
als in Conyers, Ga., on May 3.
Oklahoma State won the first
show on Friday by beating the Ag
gies, 28-23, but A&M went to bed
with a comforting 213-199 region
lead over Oklahoma State.
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.
Junior Germaine Dougherty won
the high-point rider in the region for
the second straight year am

Lanne’ just missed qualifying for
last year’s Olympics due to illness
that slowed her during the Olympic
trials.
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.

King then drew a charging foul
against Gilbert, who fouled out,
giving him a chance to make it a
one-possession game.
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.
