Tripod Sports -- November 22, 1999


Oshkosh, WI- Junior Todd Markelz (Homer, AK), Trinity College's top cross-country runner, ran at the NCAA Cross-Country Championships over the weekend. The fastest teams from across the country and the fastest qualifying individuals from each region of the nation race for the NCAA title. On a cool 45 degree overcast Saturday, North Central College won the 1999 Division III Men's race. Markelz crossed the line with a 25:20.3 in the 112th spot. At the start of the race, the field moved out after the starting gun tremendously fast- Scott Jensen, a Senior from Keene State College who placed 5th in the race at 23:58, took out the field in roughly a 4:20 first mile, putting some runners into oxygen debt very early on in the race. Markelz, after seeing how fast the pack was moving at the start, had to rethink his strategy of sticking with the top 35 to setting a personal record that day instead. Full story...

Tripod Captures The True Essence Of Sports Basketball: A 10 person interpretive dance of 2 annoying children, where participants hopelessly sprint around a court trying to disrupt the other team from copying you with the same actions you both try and repeat over and over again. All this is done while constantly checking the position of your feet while preventing the ball from hitting you in the face. Wrestling: Repeatedly trying to distract your opponent's attempts to prevent his back from flushly contacting a mat specifically designed to shorten participants's lifespans through backspasms and hernias.

Trinity Sports Preview Continued: Winter 1999-2000< After posting a second consecutive winning dual season at 12-9 and a best-ever fifth-place finish at the New England Championships, the Trinity College wrestling team, under the direction of Head Coach Sebby Amato (14th season), returns an outstanding core of wrestlers, including six All-New England performers. The program's recent success has yielded benefits in recruitment, as Trinity boasts a talented incoming freshman class to complement 14 veterans in 1999-2000. Leading the way on the wrestling team will be co-captains Tim Barrett and Steve Mulvihill. Barrett, a fifth-year senior, finished third at the New England Championships at 174 lbs. in 1997-98 before sitting out last season with an injury. Mulvihill, a junior, had a great year at 197 lbs. He finished second in New England, and qualified for the National Championships as an alternate. Full story...
Women's B-Ball Clinches Season Opener 69-58 I would like to apologize in advance to the team, coaches and readers as no statistics or rosters were available at press time. Trinity opened what looks to be a good, if not great season for the women's basketball team. The Women are coming off last season's promising 15-9 record, more than good enough to get them into the ECAC tournament. This year they will hopefully post a record that will take them down the road to the NCAA tournament at Western Connecticut State University. This Saturday they took their first step against frequent NEWMAC conference rival, Babson. Full story...	A Look Inside The NBA: 1999-2000 Season The NBA season is well underway and fans have vastly differing opinions of it so far. Some still miss Michael Jordan and feel that the league will never be as exciting as when he was playing. Others will also miss MJ, but like the opportunity of seeing something other than a Bulls game on Sunday. They like the crop of exciting new teams that they have emerged since Jordan left the game. Others think that the quality of play in the NBA has and will continued to pale in comparison to that of the NCAA Championship Tournament. All fans, however, love the game of basketball in whatever their personal way may be. Full story...
