Fortunately, we still got second and now we go in with a certain level of confidence into NCAAs.” While individual Aggie swimmers struggled, the A&M relays proved to be a strong point during the meet. A&M finished second in the 400-yard medley, the 200-yard med ley and 400-yard freestyle relays and third in the 200-yard freestyle and 800-yard freestyle relays. The last event of the meet, the 400-yard freestyle relay, turned out to be one of the Aggies’ most exciting events. A&M senior Keven Kehlenbach, secured second place for the Aggies in the event by pulling away from Iowa State’s Jeff Gahan in the last leg of the relay. All six A&M seniors - Howard, Kehlenbach, Michael Colligan, Michael Greene, David Morrow and Alfred Mansour - placed in the top eight in one or more events. However, the Aggie swimmer who had one of the best per formances was junior Riley Janes. Despite being unrested, Janes placed second in the 100- yard backstroke with an NCAA automatic time, placed ninth in the 100-yard freestyle with a consideration time and was on all three second-place relays. Up next for the Aggie divers is the Zone D Diving Championships March 9-10, which will determine if they will compete in the NCAA championships. The NCAAs will be hosted by A&M on March 22-24. — Sports in Brief— Future dressing room to honor Ray E. Dorr Texas A&M football coach R.C.
