Senior Ashlee Warnick won the mile (5:27), Jen Fresques won the 800-meter (2:19.79) a n d freshmen Haley McAllister and Ashley Peterson helped to win the 4x400meter relay. McAllister and Peterson were also successful jumpers for Utah. McAllister won the long jump, leaping rj feet, 11.75 inches; Peterson finished first in the triple jump with 11.59 meters. Senior Nicki Mancinelli also tied for first in the high jump, finishing with a r.63-meter mark. "It was an exciting meet with some good competition," Utah head coach Kyle Kepler said. "We had some pretty strong victories from veterans like Vanessa PIPER IS A KOBE FAN continued from Page 6 TECHNOLOGY SERVING MANK, Today's Internet is not s^fe for children. In fact children 12-17 years old are the largest consumers of pornography on the Internet. The pornographer exploits a child's natural curiosity, uses deceitful techniques, and profits from increased traffic to their websites;and when a child is exposed to deviant and extreme forms of pornography, that child is at ifckof developing addictive and problematic sexual behaviors. Now Is The Time To Act. PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY Internet Pornography is Highly Addictive! Get involved in promoting and defending the CP80 initiative of attention—teams can live with certain shots from LeBron James and Dwayne Wade, but anytime Kobe touches the ball it's a mismatch. And that's why he's like Jordan. Killing the world's best, Kobe reminds us all of some time in our childhood when we were just flat-out more advanced than everybody else at something. Maybe it was even something like acting or chess for you. You were probably moved into a higher age group to even things out, eventually. Bryant needs to find another species with which to play. Ever since his brash public announcement that he was going pro straight out of high school, however, Bryant has been hated by a whole generation of fans. Many of them were offended by the haughty Mortensen, and some of our young kids got some victories as well." Mortensen turned in her best throw of the season in the weight throw, heaving it 17.62 meters, as her teammate A.J. Roby followed right behind with a 16.33-meter mark. The Utes showed vast improvements after competing at the Brigham Young Invitational on Jan. 13 and 14, at which Nicki Hugie was the only Ute to come away with an individual victory. "The coaching staff and I are very pleased with the progress we made again this week," Kepler said. "We are really looking forward to getting into the heart of our season and seeing how much more we can improve." The Utes will continue competition next Saturday when they head to the Athletes Invitational in Nampa, Idaho, and the Reno Pole Vault Summit in Nevada. m.patton@ chronicle.utah.edu young man's early resemblance to the greatest ever. Already a loner, Bryant now heard every mistake he ever made scrutinized through rose-and-black-colored glasses. Like all egomaniacs, Bryant began to believe in divine destiny as a guiding force. Like few egomaniacs, Bryant fulfilled his personal prophecy. Michael Jordan shot three percent better from the field when he scored 37.0 per game in 1986-87, but so did the rest of the NBA. After Sunday's outburst, Kobe is scoring 35.9 per game, and it's safe to say he's heating up (45.5 ppg over his last 10 games). And for those who point to the sterling shooting percentages of future greats James (.493) and Wade (.482), consider: Kobe gets triple-cove red. Kobe takes at least two absurd shots at buzzer every single game. Kobe handles the ball much more and has to create his DUO IMPRESSES WNBA BRASS continued from Page 6 shot 66.7 percent (18-27) the field, helping the Utes in victories over Air Force and UNLV. Thorburn has also been putting up impressive numbers. She is averaging 10.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 6.35 assists (No.r in MWC, No. 8 in NCAA) and 2.12 steals this season. Although Thorburn's averages aren't as high as Smith's, her all-around numbers bring the type of value to a team much like Jason Kidd of the NBAs New Jersey Nets. The seniors have helped Utah to a 13-4 overall record this season and the Utes are now 4-2 in the conference. Thorburn and Smith still have many chances to wow WNBA executives and scouts, especially in the Utes' rematches against No. 18 New Mexico and No. 20 BYU. Smith and Thorburn will be back in action Saturday at 1 p.m., when they face TCU in Fort Worth, Texas. m.patton@ chronicle.utah.edu own shot (although he has a better assist/turnover ratio than James or Wade). And above all, Kobe doesn't have any other options. Plus, gasp, according to 82games. corn's NASA-style player efficiency ratings, Bryant's teammates are actually much, much better when he's in the game, contrary to what Bryant's doubters have always said. Like Jordan (agh, againl), Kobe has also figured out a new way to play after losing some of his athletic ability with age. He penetrates less. He can't assert himself as much defensively. Instead, Bryant has developed an arsenal of moves that allow him to create his shot at will. And as long as he can get those shots, even against defenses designed exclusively to stop him, who's to tell Kobe he should stop shooting? Just let me know when he's firing them up, so I can watch. m.piper@chronicle.utah.edu aerobics • yoga- • free-weight room • spa • childcare • tanning • and much more.. SUGARHOUSE 1 033 E. ?
