About The Battalion. (College Station, Tex.) 1893-current | View Entire Issue (April 12, 2004)
Nation THE BATTALION 3B Monday, April 12, 2004 ISturdy IContinued from page 1 B 12,25 0 ac * 1 ' eve over Ihe next three years of her collegiate ^areer, Sturdy has a quick answer. “1 want us to achieve a top 10 finish at the champi- nships,” Sturdy said. “Maybe with some good recruits own the line we could be in the top five before I grad uate - that would rock my world.” Those who are closest to Sturdy don’t see her as a wimmer with records and awards. Most who have some- hing to say about Sturdy mention her quirky personality, :ense of humor and spontaneous nature. Maybe it’s those ualities that make this great swimmer seem like just other average college freshman. ie5 Track Continued from page 1 B hand-off proved costly as it was fumbled and almost dropped; however Nelson said he was pleased with the result. Freshman sprinter Monique Lee finished in seventh place in the women’s 100-meter dash with a time of 11.63 seconds. She has already qualified for regionals in both the 100- and 200-meter events. A&M redshirt freshman David Phillips placed fifth in the men’s 400-meter dash with a time of 48.21 sec onds, while sophomore Brian Kelley took eighth place with a time of 48.24 seconds in the same event. The field athletes were most affected by the poor weather conditions. Senior Josh Ralston finished in fifth place with a throw of 185 feet. Ralston has already qualified for regionals. “This event served as a good warm-up for the Mt. SAC relays next week,” Nelson said. The Aggies travel to Walnut, Calif., to compete in the Mt. SAC relays next weekend. The relays are one of the largest events of the year and will be a four-day event pitting the Aggies against more than 100 schools. It will be the team’s final regular season event until the Big 12 conference meet in two weeks. es 1162 JrtT' reni cor;; nec’i fBnc-' 5 tT ' 3 Classifieds continued from page 2b FOR RENT FOR SALE andJj s W 846-f re-lease for May or August.

Despite a half-dozen close calls in the majors, Mickelson had never come to the final hole with a share of the lead. He never had the final say. On this day, he refused to let his chance get away. He smartly played 3-wood off the tee to avoid the bunkers and hit his approach behind the hole. Mickelson got a huge break with Chris DiMarco blasted out of a greenside bunker and just beyond Mickelson’s ball marker, giving him the line on the biggest putt of his life. “I just couldn’t believe that ball fell in there,” Mickelson said. Before walking into the scor ing hut to sign his card, Mickelson held daughter Sophia and said, “Daddy won. Can you believe it?” Mickelson, who shot a 31 on the back, finished at 9-under 279. Mike Weir, whose victory last year made him the first southpaw to win the Masters, slipped the green jacket on the most famous lefty in golf. It was a bitter end for Els, who now knows how Mickelson has felt all these years. The big South African did nothing wrong over the final 12 holes, salvaged four crucial pars along the way and it still wasn’t enough. “I think Phil deserved this one,” Els said. “He won this one. He didn’t lose it like some of his other ones. Full credit to him.” K.J. Choi holed a 5-iron from 220 yards on the 11th hole for eagle, kept his hopes alive with a 40-foot birdie putt on the 13th but wound up with a 69, three shots behind. Tiger Woods was long gone before the fireworks started. He made a double bogey — this third of the tournament — on the 13th hole and shot 71, leaving him 1 1 shots out of the lead in a tie for 22nd, his worst finish ever at the Masters. Woods now has gone seven majors without winning, and he has played his last five over par. But this Masters didn’t need him to deliver the drama. SPORTS IN BRIEF A&M men’s tennis blanks Texas Tech The No. 25 Texas A&M men’s tennis team blanked Texas Tech Friday, 6-0, at the McLeod Tennis Center in Lubbock, Texas. The win gave A&M (18-7, 4-1 Big 12) its 10th straight win over Tech (10-9, 1-3) dating back to 1997. Despite temperatures in the 40s, wind chill in the 30s and a 20 mph wind blowing through the outdoor courts, the Aggies did not drop a set in any of their six singles matches. Doubles were not contested. “Under the circumstances, which were really tough in the 40s and windy, I thought our guys played with good compo sure and purpose today,” said A&M head coach Tim Cass. A&M junior Lester Cook defeated Tech junior Jakob Paulson, 7-5, 7-6. The win gave Cook, ranked No. 12 in singles nationally, his 12th singles win in his past 13 matches. A&M will travel to Austin to face the University of Texas Saturday at 1 p.m. at the Penick-Allison Tennis Center. Women’s tennis defeats Baylor, 6-1. The No. 15 Texas A&M women’s tennis team defeated No. 44 Baylor University, 6-1, Thursday at the Baylor Tennis Center in Waco, Texas. The win keeps the Aggies (16-6, 8-0 Big 12) in first place atop the Big 12 conference standings. Baylor (8-9, 4-2) could only manage one singles victory despite beating the Aggies in four of the last five matches con tested between the two clubs. A&M senior Jessica Roland, ranked No. 21 in the country in singles, defeated Baylor fresh man Carolin Walter, 6-1, 0-6, 6-3, to lead the Aggie charge. A&M will host Kansas State University at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at the George P. Mitchell Tennis Center.
