MEN'S TRACK
Medley quartets power team at Texas Southern relays
by Steve Mollenkamp
For the second week in a row,
the Rice men's track and field team
shone before the city of Houston.
Two weeks ago, they impressed
students here with their second
place finish in the Rice
Invitational, and last weekend they
visited the TSU campus across
town to run in the TSU relays
where they took top honors.
Named the outstanding team at
the meet, the Owls took first in
three relays and two individual
events.
Distance man William Moore
was once again the top scorer for
the Owls. Moore, continuing his
winning ways from the week
( before, when he won both the
1 5000-meter run and the 3000-meter
steeplechase, took first in the 5000
at the meet held in Barnett stadium
last Saturday. His 15:09.9

The Razorbacks finally got to
Spivey, pitching his longest stint of
the season, with four hits for three
runs. The Owls managed two
baserunners in the bottom of the
inning, but reliever Tim Dietz got
Edwards to bounce back to the
mound to preserve the visitors'
victory.
Now that they have established
themselves as a legitimate SWC
front-runner candidate, the Owls
can get down to the serious
business of sweeping and suchlike
things in the rest of the conference
season. Their first real road trip
comes this weekend with an
important series against struggling
Texas Tech in Lubbock.
A rained-out doubleheader
against Dallas Baptist scheduled
for last Wednesday will probably
not be made up. The Owls' next
home game is this Wednesday,
March 30, with'two against North
Texas State. KTRU plans to
broadcast the second game. The
doubleheader starts at 1:00 p.m.

distanced him from Anthony
Phillips of TSU who ran 15:21.0.
Owls Greg Johnson and Craig
Hughes took third and fourth in
15:27.9 and 15:35.0, respectively.
Moore also came in second in
the 1500-meter run with his time of
3;54.3, which is the best on the
squad for the year so far. Rick
Lozoya won the race in 3:48.7.
On the first day of competition.
Rice took first in both the sprint
and distance medleys. The sprint
medley team of Terry Jones,
Sherman Hall, John Bell, and
Francisco Melendez won in 1:51.0.
WOMEN'S TRACK
The distance medley had a time of
9:53.1 through the combined
efforts of Craig Hermann, Terry
Jones, Charles House and Gawain
Guy.
Jerry Fuqua, House, Melendez
and Guy got together once more
for old-times sake to take first in
the 4x800 relay. Their time of
7:29.1 put them ahead of
Grambling, 7:31.7, and Prairie
View, 2:38.5.
The other winner for Rice was
pole vaulter Richard McGee who
vaulted 14-6 in heavy winds. Paul
Bratloff, the star vaulter on the
team, chose to sit the meet out and
prepare for the upcoming meets
Rice was without the services of
sprinter Vince Courville. Still a hit
off after pulling up lame in the 200
at the Rice Invitational, Courville
used the week to recuperate.
The team heads up to Waco this
weekend for a Southwest
Conference showdown with
Baylor and Texas A&M. Lamar
and North Texas State will also he
running at the meet. Texas A&M is
by lar the class team of the field
Baylor. Rice and I amar should all
be fighting it out at A&M's heels
Millar takes second with record heptathlon
by Anne MacMaster
Monique Millar broke Pat
Krieger's old school record last
weekend when she racked up a
score of 4,738 points at the Gulf
Athletic Congress heptathlon. In
the competition, which consisted
of seven events and lasted two
days, Millar captured second place
overall.
The rest of the women's track
team ran in the Texas Southern
University Relays on Saturday.
Rice entered individuals in three
events but ran no relays in this
meet which tallied no team scores.
In the 100 meter, sophomore
Laura Wright and freshman
Katrice Harris placed fourth and
fifth respectively. Both Wright and
Harris clocked impressive times in
the trials of the same race. Wright
covered the 100 meter distance in
1 1.7 and Harris in 11.8
Disa Lewis captured the highest
place of anyone on the team at the
TSU Relays, crossing the finish
line of the 3000 meter in second
place. Lewis ran the 3000 in 9:54.0,
14 seconds slower than she
ran at the Border Olympics, but
still her second fastest time. Not far
behind her at TSU, Kathy Sullivan
came over the line in fourth place
in the 3000, with a time of 10:30.0
Coach Victor Lopez was not sure
why both Lewis and Sullivan ran
slower than their usual speed at
TSU.
"Somehow, something affected
them," Lopez said. "They didn't
feel good."
In the 800, although freshman
Patti Fowler failed to place, her time
of 2.18.3 impressed Lopez.
"It was encouraging," he said,
"because her old persona! record
was 2.27."
Lopez reacted positively to what
he saw of his team in the meet. "All
the individuals did pretty good.
Especially the sprinters because
when you go against TSU and
Prairie View you're going against
the best sprinters in the nation.
Fourth and fifth (places in the
100) are very good against them."
Next week, the team travels to
Waco for a quadrangular meet of
Baylor University. At Baylor, since
Lewis will return to her regular
events, the 800 and the 1500, arid
both Cecelia Nunez and Regina
Cavanaugh will be back in
competition again for the team.
Rice should do very well.
