RANDAL FORD • THE BATTALION
Junior Ellison Collins clears the bar in the high jump last season. The
track team will begin its Spring semester Saturday in Norman, Okla.
Track travels to OU
By Jeff Allen
THE BATTALION
The Texas A&M men’s and
women’s track and field teams are
preparing to start their seventh
indoor season as members of the
Big 12 Conference Saturday at
the Sooner Invitational in
Norman, Okla.
In the six years since the
Aggies left the former
Southwest Conference and
joined the Big 12, not only has
the competition changed, but
much of the philosophy and
attitude toward the early por
tion of the schedule has
changed as well.
In the past, the indoor sea
son was viewed as a time of
preparation for what had been
considered the more important
outdoor season later in the year.
“Traditionally we have not
put a lot of emphasis on the
indoor (season),” said head
coach Ted Nelson. “In the old
SWC, years ago, not a lot of
people had indoor facilities.
They were not needed for prac
tice in the South. In the North
(teams) can’t practice (outside
during the winter). The Big 12
has several northern schools,
and (now) the indoor champi
onship has become almost as
important for us.”
The growing importance of
the indoor season is illustrated in
the team’s performance during
that stretch the past two years.
During the 2001 campaign, the
Aggies came out strong early in
the year, capturing second place
at the Big 12 indoor meet, which
became a stepping stone for the
squad to claim its first Big 12
championship.
“It kick started our team,
(helping us realize) what sort of
potential we had outdoors. We
had a lot of our strength in the
discuss and the javelin, and we
don’t get to compete in those
events indoors,” Nelson said.
“It boosted our team’s confi
dence, and we scored more
points than had ever been
scored, and had the largest mar
gin of victory ever.”
Conversely, in the 2002 sea
son, an eighth-place indoor finish
led to a sixth-place outdoor finish
in the conference.
This year’s team will be
looking to turn around that fin
ish and return to the top of the
Big 12. The men’s squad has
several athletes returning from
last year’s team and is looking
strong in many areas.
“The strength of the team
returning is in the jump areas:
long jump, triple jump... and
also shot and distance throws
and some long distance run
ners,” Nelson said.
For the women, the story is
not much different. They will
be trying to improve upon a
10th place finish in the indoor
season which led to an Nth-
place Big 12 finish during the
outdoor half of the season.
The women will be show
casing a slightly younger
squad, with only a handful of
seniors, at the meet on Saturday
as they compete opposite the
men in Norman.
“(Saturday) will be a good
kickoff for the youngsters; they
worked all fall, but then were
gone for three weeks,” Nelson
said. “It’s not something we
expect everyone to be at the top
of their game for. We have so
many youngsters that I am a lit
tle apprehensive about going
in, but am interested to see how
they perform. I’m excited to
see how the new athletes com
pete against some big-time
competition.”
