  • ^pt WESTERN <KWJ ^^ _^_^^_ D° yOU Sme" ^^|P^Bi ^1 w ^P what they're Totally Biased Catamount Coverage cookin'? March 29, 2000 Catamount Rugby Set for Southern Regionals by Daniel Hooker Sports Editor One of WCU's most successful teams, with perhaps the least amount of publicity and attention is the WCU Rugby team. However, this team will attempt to further their success and strive to get recognition as they travel to the Southern Regional Conference Championships this weekend in Auburn, Alabama. Competition will take place at Auburn University. Three different divisions, D-I, D-II, and a women's division, will compete for the southern titles. "Auburn is the defending Division II champs and are a formidable side. But, this WCU team has an excellent shot at winning the south," said Mark Smith, Catamount Ruggers head coach. He added, "We will need to play the best ruby of the season, but have as good a shot as anybody at the title. This is the farthest WCU has ever been." Western Carolina currently ranks third in the state overall. They are ranked behind UNC Wilmington and UNC Chapel Hill, with North Carolina State being the Upstate Champions. If the rugby team is to win this weekend, they will advance to the National Finals, which consists of eight teams. The nationals will be held in Columbus, Ohio. The rugby team held a car wash last week to help raise money to help fund their trip. They would like to thank everyone that came out for that, as well as their sponsors who helped out by donating money. In all, the team raised $700 on the weekend. photo courtesy Elizobeth Barnes The Western Carolina rugby team in a "ruck " in a match earlier this year. The Ruggers will travel to Auburn for the Southern Regional Conference Championships this weekend. If they win, they'll advance to Nationals in Columbus, Ohio. Hot Times in Florida Sun Baseball falls to Georgia State by Denise Merritt Staff Writer Over half a century ago, in 1939, legendary Florida coach Percy Beard had a vision. He imagined an event that would bring athletes from across the United States together in a competition of strength and speed. The Florida Relays were born and has been growing ever since. This past weekend, the Catamount track and field teams traveled to the University of Florida to become part of that tradition in a non-team-scored event. This four-day event featured representatives from institutions such as Michigan State, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, the University of Connecticut, and several elite athletes who ran unattached. Since Western Carolina in no stranger to stiff competition, they rose to the occasion with outstanding performances. The men's 4x400 meter relay broke the school record of 3:11.95, set i n 1985. The team of juniors Joe Hyman, Tim Vaught, Akaba Glaspie, and freshman Derrick High ran a blistering 3:09.80 to take fifth place in the invitational race. Hyman and High also raced well in the open 400, running 47.71 and 48.48 to get eighth and 16th place, respectively The men's team also had a strong show ing Friday in the triple jump. Sophomore John Logan captured third place with a jump of 47'10.00. Senior teammates Rayshon Carthen and Ernest Moss took sixth and seventh place. They set marks of 46' 11.00 and 46'07.25, repetitively. Logan came back Saturday and jumped farther in the invitational event. He soared to a fifth place finish with a jump of 48'07.25. Thursday night, freshman Jesse Norman ran an all time personal best of 15:00.84 in the 5,000-meters. Freshman teammate Caleb Bailey also ran a fast time in the 1,500 Saturday afternoon. His time of 3:58.78 earned him fifth place. Junior Johnny Bomar finished 11th in the men's 110- hurdles with a time of 14.59. On the women's side, sophomore Virginia LaCombe soared 5'06.00 to gain sixth place in the invitational high jump. Sophomore Rosalyn Hood took seventh place in the invitational long jump, with a mark of 17'06.75. In the women's 5,000, freshman Melanie Cooper ran 18:17.67, to establish her own personal best. In the 1500, the competition produced a fast time for sophomore middle distance runner, Holly Bright. She crossed the line with a time of 4:50.83. The next meet for both teams will be the US Collegiate Series Meet, held at Clemson, SC, on April 1. by Daniel Hooker Sports Editor The game of baseball can be pretty quirky at times. On Tuesday afternoon, the Catamounts pounded out eight runs on 19 hits — and Ga. St. still lost the game. The Georgia State Pan- WCU thers rattled off 21 runs on 25 hits, including nine homeruns en route to a 21-8 shellacking of the injury-ridden Catamounts in non- conference action at Childress Field. The Panthers improved to 17-12 on the year, while the Cats fell to 6-23 on the year. "I thought we came out ready to play by loading the bases in first two innings. I feel that if we'd gone up four or five runs, then we could have gone for the fences like [GSU] did," said head coach Todd Raleigh. Junior Charlie Wands led the Cats at the plate, going three for four, scoring a run and batting in another. Junior Charles Thomas and freshman Ben Rhoney both went three for five against Panther pitching, with Rhoney scoring and driving one. On a day where the perpetual wind at Hennon Stadium blew out a little stronger — almost at gale force at times — a total of 10 homerun balls left the friendly confines. Unfortunately for the Cats, nine of them were in favor of the Panthers, including three off of the bat of right fielder Chad Smith. It was on this blustery Cullowhee afternoon that freshman Ryan McCurry got his first experience trotting around the diamond after his first-career homerun. Catamount pitching was hit hard 21 again, surrendering 25 hits on the game. g Sophomore starter Brad House was saddled with the loss, dropping his record to 1-3. Aside from two innings, the seven- run third and the six run fourth, House pitched well, striking out two and only walking one. "We told House going in that he would have to go 100 pitches. We only had three pitchers available that could go today after the weekend. Tomorrow, we'll be in better shape." It was out of the depleted bullpen that WCU found some solace. Westminster, SC, native, freshman Jerrod Boone returned to the mound, surrendering eight runs on nine hits while striking out 10. "Jerrod [Boone] did a great job. That's the best he's pitched. I know he gave up some runs, but his command was better. Having him back is encouraging," Raleigh said. Also on Wednesday, the Catamounts will wrap up the two-game stint with the Georgia State Panthers. First-pitch is slated for 3pm at Childress Field/ Hennon Stadium.
