THE BATTALION
Teams from across the Big 12
will converge in Lincoln, Neb.
this weekend to compete in the
Big 12 Indoor Track and Field
Championships at the Bob
Devaney Sports Center. The meet
will feature many of the top track
and field athletes in the nation as
the Big 12 has grown to become a
major force in NCAA track and
field competition.
Highlighting an impressive
field of men’s teams is No. 12
Nebraska, No. 21 Texas A&M and
Missouri. Several teams ranked
among Trackwire’s top 25 will
also be completing in the women’s
events, including No. 5 Texas, No.
13 Nebraska, No. 18 Iowa Suite
and No. 20 Kansas State.
I Nebraska’s men’s team is
searching for its fourth consecu
tive Big 12 title. The Huskers are
anchored by senior pole vaulter
Eric Eschbach and junior shot-
putter Carl Myerscough.
Eschbach captured the 2002 Big
12 title with a mark of 17-5 3/4,
one that he has already surpassed
this season on his way to becom
ing one of Trackwire’s top six
pole vaulters in the country.
Myerscough, currently the
nation's top shot-putter, will face
off against one of the world’s
best throwers in Missouri’s
Christian Cantwell, in what may
prove to be the most exciting
event of the meet.
“There are a number of ath
letes you could call one in a mil
lion,” Nebraska Field Coach
MarkColligan said. “They might
be one in a billion. Hdw often do
twoone-in-a-billion athletes meet
in a college setting?”
The No. 21 A&M men will
be relying on senior hurdler
Chris Pinnock, who is currently
ranked No. 2 in the nation by
Trackwire in the men’s 60-meter
hurdles. Pinnock holds the
A&M school record.
The Aggies have been fine-
tuning their performances all sea,-
son and have set numerous sea

Ellison Collins and the Aggies will compete in Nebraska this weekend.
meets leading up to the Big 12
Championships. Senior pole
vaulter Chad Walters cleared a
season-best 16-10.75 to take first
in the Aggies’ final meet of the
regular season.
Aggie jumpers freshman
Fabrice Lapierre and sophomore
Andrew Gamble also fared well
in A&M’s last meet of the regular
season. Lapierre posted an
NCAA provisional qualifying
mark of 24-11.25 while Gamble
leaped to a career-best distance of
51-9.75 in the triple jump.
“The long jump will be a good
event for us, and it will be a fac
tor in how we place at the meet,”
said A&M Flead Coach Ted
Nelson.
Junior Ellison Collins has also
provided A&M with a threat in
the high jump competition.
Another spot the Aggies hope
to score in is in the men’s multi
events. Senior John Bloom gives
the Aggies a good chance to take
the conference title in the men’s
pentathlon. Bloom has had great
success during outdoor contests,
but has struggled indoors.
“(Bloom) has not been fortu
nate at the indoor championships
throughout his career,” Nelson
said. “I think he wants to do real
ly well this last time around, and
I think that is going to take over
and solve a lot of problems. I
think I have seen a rejuvenated
John Bloom this fall.”
On the women’s side, No. 5
Texas looks to be the favorite as it
competes for its fourth confer
ence title since the inception of
the Big 12. Longhorn freshman
phenom Sanya Richards anchors
an impressive group of Texas
sprinters. Richards has taken the
track and field community by
stonn since her NCAA debut ear
lier this year for the Longhorns,
and is currently fifth in the 60-
meter in the country, and is lead
ing the nation in the 200- and
400-meters.
Richards also runs a leg of the
Longhorns’ 4x400-meter team
that is the best in the nation.
No. 13 Nebraska will need to
score in the horizontal jumping
events to repeat as Big 12 cham
pions and capture its third title in
four years. Junior Ineta Radevica
leads a formidable corps of
Husker junipers. Trackwire cur
rently ranks Radevica among the
top three athletes in both the
women’s long jump and triple
jump events.
“Competition is always good
for jumping,” Radevica said.
“Competition is what pushes you
to do your best.”
The Championships are set to
begin at 10 a.m. Friday and con
clude at 6:45 p.m. Saturday.
