THE BATTALION
I The Texas A&M track and
field team began the outdoor
season this weekend with the
College Station Relays.
B After posting top-25 finishes at
the NCAA Indoor National
Championships, the A&M men
looked sharp, finishing no worse
than second in triple jump, 200-
meter dash, high jump, javelin,
long jump and 110-meter hurdles.
■ Leading the way for the
Aggies was senior Mike
Hummel, who took first place in
the 1,500- and 800-meter run.
■ The College Station Relays
was the first meet of the year for
Hummel, who did not compete
in the indoor season because his
ejjgibility had been exhausted.
■ “I didn’t know what to
elpect,” Hummel said. “I didn’t
run indoor and have only been
or a track twice in the off sea
son. Most of my time has been
spent in strength training.”
■ The men dominated the 200-
meter dash at the event this
weekend, taking three of the top

had to learn to live with his
misses.”
■ McGhee started with a 3-

turning two into three-point
plays, all before West had his
first points. He scored 11 of
OU’s first 18, then broke a sec-

Sooners ahead for good by scor

“We just let him get off to too
quick of a start,” West said.
Romain Sato kept Xavier
(26-6) afloat early, scoring 16 of
the Musketeers’ first 18 points.
West, a second-team All-
American, scored only one bas
ket the first 17 minutes, but once
he found his shot, he scored 10
straight to tie the game at 40.
The Musketeers, who had
won seven in a row and were 21-
2 since starting 5-3, knotted it up
three more times but never led.
“We missed a couple of free

rounded teams ever, and we

shots and we couldn’t get over
the hump,” said first-year coach
Thad Matta said. “The things we
feared OU doing happened.”
Sato, scoreless for 17 min
utes after his hot start, finished
with 28 points including a 30-
footer to end his drought. West
had 18 points and eight
rebounds.
“We challenged Dave at half
time and he answered the call,”
Matta said.
Ebi Ere had 20 points,
including baskets immediately
answering the Xavier’s first two
ties, and seven rebounds.

B Sophomore Roberta Spencer and senior
Martina Nedorostova were unable to finish their
matches because of time constraints. After moving
the match inside, the teams played on three courts
instead of six which forced the match to last well
over four hours. The Hurricanes were forced to
concede the final two matches because of travel
arrangements.
The Aggies improved to 12-2 on the season and
will enter Wednesday’s match against Iowa 3-0 in
the Big 12.
