Our idea was to have three with the leaders, Heidebrecht said of By Craig Hansell Tribune Sports Writer Larry Heidebrecht is safe. Although the University of Texas-E- l Pasos chances of faltering in a meet increase everytime out, UTEP didnt have too much trouble doing the expected Friday, winning its 10th consecutive Western Athletic Conference Cross Country Championship on the University of Utah Golf Course. Led by sophomore Zakaria Barie, with a time of 29:40.9, and Gidamis Shahanga (29:41.6), UTEP runners placed first, second, fifth, 12th and 37th. UTEPs winning team score was 57 as the Miners dominated the NCAA Region Seven meet. Idaho State (68) was second with BYU (74), New Mexico (125) and Montana (162) completing the top five. UTEP runners took command early and never gave way. But there were two runners who refused to bow before UTEPs awesome image. Ogdens Ed Eyestone, running for BYU, and New Mexicos Ibrahim Kivina could not be discouraged. Up the hills and down, UTEP was in Mohamed his strategy. was sick with the flu (Rutiginga) and that really hurt. Rutiginga fell back in the pack and finished 37th. All the Utah eyes were on Eyestone. It went almost exactly as I thought it would, Eyestone said. The Kenyans took the lead in the first 800 meters and I let them have it. Then the pace picked up after the first lap and we pulled away from some guys on the second hill. It was a super day, Eyestone concluded after pacing BYU to second place in the WAC standings. UTEP and Idaho State will advance to the NCAA Nationals Nov. 22 at Indiana University in Bloomington. In addition, Kivina, Eyestone and Derrick May, from Nevada-Ren- o will also be able to compete in the Nationals.

As predicted, the womens battle between University of Utah runner Jill Molen and Idahos Patsy Sharped developed. Shes always been tough, especially in cross country, and I could hear her all the way, Ms. Molen, a senior nursing major said after the ace. I was not real comfortable with how many people were with me after the first mile. I dont run well from behind. Friday running from behind was not a problem for Jill. She outdistanced Sharpels to win with a time of 16:43.6. Sharpels was second (17:00.8) and BYU runners Carey Page said the Denver franchise has been warmly received by the fans a.J the media after some skepticism. The fans were bitter at first because of the problems with the Colorado Rockies. We were told the only way to survive would be to be competitive and physical. The Flames blasted off to a 0 start and began getting the fans and media attention. We felt we had to regain their trust and let them know that wed be here (Denver) for a long time. Page said he was glad to see some of the scoring burden eased from the shoulders of Francis and Dwyer. Lately, weve been getting more balanced scoring. Early in the season it seemed everyone was looking to Francis and Dwyer to supply the scoring. With the shifting of scoring roles to other players, Page says hes been able to concentrate more on C-- goals and 16 assists. All three were members of the Oklahoma City team last season. Jim Jackson and Alex McKendry are tied for the Flames leadership in power play goals with four. Colorado Coach Pierre Page has experienced his first losing stretch of the season. The Flames have won only four of their last 12 games. Page explained the recent losing streak this way: We sort of got caught up in the scoring bit and the defense suffered. Page lost his best defenseman, Pat Ribble, to Calgary along with forward Carl Mokosak. But he said those werent the reasons for the recent skid. The rest of the league just caught up with us. The entire league is very competitive this season. 5-- checking and reducing the clubs goals. He said the Flames are averaging nearly 4,000 fans a game with two crowds in excess of 7,000. This type of support is good for the league. I hope the rivalry continues with Salt Lake like in the past, said Page.

The weather was perfect for a race and the runners who were thinking of wearing nylons to keep the cold out didnt have any need for another layer. Even UTEPs Heidebrecht couldnt complain about the condi- tions and his success is just another in the growing list. When asked about his race, I was UTEPs Barie recalled: running with a group and fighting for the team. I like running in a group, it helps sometimes."
