THE BATTd
Track and fields runs to El Pas
By Craig Martin
THE BATTALION
With less than half of the season left ahead of
it and only six weeks until the Big 12 Outdoor
Championship, the Texas A&M track and field
team is heading to El Paso determined to bring a
victory back to College Station.
The air will be thin and the weather will be hot, but
A&M head coach Ted Nelson said he feels his athletes
are very well prepared and will make A&M proud.
A&M will travel to El Paso this weekend to
compete in the University of Texas-El Paso
Springtime Invitational. The meet is a five-school
event, pitting the Aggies against the University of
Oklahoma, UTEP, Texas Tech University and the
University of New Mexico.
Nelson said he is looking forward to seeing
where the team is so far in the season.
“We’d also like to follow up with a good show
ing after last week’s performance at the College
Station Relays and Multis,” Nelson said.
The El Paso meet will be the first team-scored
meet of the season, and will showcase the abilities
of many athletes looking to qualify for regionals.
El Paso’s altitude will play a major role in the
discus, shotput and javelin competitions. Senior
discus thrower Josh Ralston said the altitude will
cause less air resistance on the disc.
“The thin air should allow for some records to
be broken" Nelson said.
Besides chalking up a victory for
Ralston will be attempting to break hispti
best of 206 feet.
The meet will be especially exciti
Ralston, who is looking to redeem himself
last year’s performance.
“I was in a slump last year, so I’m
ing forward to this event,” Ralston said
The Woodlands native is also looking to
victory over rival Jason Young of Texas Ted
head-to-head matchup will be worth watcli gars'a
the competition will stay heated in El Paso,
University of Oklahoma co-head coai
Lancaster is also looking forward to thisinviii
“This meet will be good, it will get
petitive juices flowing," Lancaster said.
Monique Lee, an A&M freshman
from Navasota, is looking to qualify forra
als in the 100-meter dash after
200 at last week’s event.
Lee, who will compete in the El
said she hopes that in addition to qualifyitj
Regionals she will break her personalrecori
said she believes that a solid 11.7 secondti
be enough to qualify for regionals. Herpei
best time is 1 1.56 seconds, just a fractionles
what she plans to run this weekend.
The next home meet for the Aggies
Saturday April 10, when they host the
A&M Invitational.

“I think we’re playing
well,” Mechem said. "After we
had a bump in the road against
LSU, it has shown us, in a
good way, that we have to be
ready to go every single day. It
kind of refocused us.”
Oklahoma State (5-6, 1-2
Big 12) and No. 17 Oklahoma
(11-1, 1-0) will be formidable
opponents this weekend. The
Cowgirls, although 1-2, will not
be overlooked by the Aggies.
“With Oklahoma State, you
never know about them,”
Kleinecke said. “They play
very well against us, and we are
going to have to be ready to
play. We’ll just see what they
throw at us.”
Oklahoma State has been
ranked as high as No. 38 this
season. Since then, it has fall
en out of the top 75.
“We’ll be really ready,"
Mechem said. “They beat us
last year in the tournament
championship so that will
pump us up.”
After tangling with the
Cowgirls, A&M will meet
Oklahoma on Sunday. That will
be A&M’s toughest test up to this
point in the conference season.
“They are having a very
good year” Kleinecke said.
“We’re expecting a dog fight.
They compete hard. We’re
expecting a great battle.”
The Sooners have been very
impressive so far this season in
building an 11-1 record. They
have beaten seven ranked teams
this season, including recent
wins over No. 34 Brigham
Young University and No. 21
William & Mary. They boast
the No. 6-ranked player in the
nation, senior Anda Perianu.
She is 9-1 this season and has
five wins over ranked oppo
nents. Perianu will face A&M
senior Jessica Roland, the No.
16-ranked player in the country.

God, how can I compele.
The Aggies believe the)
the tools to turn this inton
cessful season, if they caoi
find some consistency, and
sistency will definitely be
ed to win in the Big 12.
“I feel like this is the
team I’ve been on, but
haven’t had the best results
Cook said. "I think if we
