ABILENE, Texas -- Hardin-Simmons'
men's track and field team will be led by a strong throwing and hurdler

"We
think we have some individuals that will compete very well and possibly
bring home some individual titles," said HSU Head Coach Rodney Smith.
"We won't have the
depth to compete as a team but we have some guys that could win and even
qualify for the NCAAs with a good meet."
The
Cowboys will put five runners in the 100 with Patrick Adams, Jose
Bolanos, Kyle Hooper, Joseph Limon and Zeth Barron. Adams has the
fastest time at 11.10.

Footer is primed for a showdown with McMurry's Junior Saint Preaux in
the 110 hurdles. The two freshmen are ranked 1-2 in the nation. Saint
Preaux has run a
13.90 and Footer a 14.36. Sam Green will also run the 110 hurdles. Green
