Both the men's and women's 4x800-meter relays finished fourth. The team of sophomore Laura Lavoie, senior Katy Eisenmenger, freshman Kim Clark and sophomore Arrah Nielsen ran 8:52.25 seconds, the third-best time in school history. Texas-San Antonio won the event in 8:45.37.

Fresno St. names Sooner assistant as men's coach
The Associated Press
FRESNO, Calif. — Oklahoma assistant Ray Lopes replaced Jerry Tankarian as Fresno State's basketball coach Wednesday, agreeing to a five-year contract.
"Jerry Tarkanian is an unbelievable coach," Lopes said. "It's an honor for me to step in his shoes. He's laid a foundation of success. It's my job to build upon that foundation."
The Bulldogs failed to make the NCAA tournament amid a series of suspensions and injuries this season, and fan discontent surfaced as the team struggled to a 19-15 record and an NIT berth.
Lopes, who spent the past eight years at Oklahoma, will direct the team when it moves into the new 16,500-seat Save Mart Center in late 2003 — an arena that became reality in large part because of Tarkanian's presence.
"Jerry Tarkanian is an unbelievable coach."
Ray Lopes Oklahoma coach
Lopes will be paid a salary of $112,000 per year, according to Fresno athletic director Scott Johnson.
Lopes, 39, worked with Sooners coach Kelvin Sampson for one season at Washington State before moving to Oklahoma. Before that, Lopes, who played for Albertson College in Idaho, coached four years at California-Santa Barbara.
He won an NCAA title with UNLV in 1990 and is the fourth winningest coach in the NCAA, finishing with a 778-202 record.
Tarkanian, 71, retired from Fresno State last month after four decades of coaching.

ter — but with more versatility.
Baxter was a beast and knew how to use his mammoth body to shield off defenders. He was smart and had fantastic feet. Collison adds a dimension Baxter lacked — he runs the floor like a guard. The 6-10, three-year starter has deadly post moves with both hands. In Kansas' nine-point loss to Maryland, Nick emerged from Gooden's shadow and dominated Baxter, of all people, for 21 points and 10 boards. He played like an All-American. Next season, he's a lock to be one of the best seniors in the game.
Wayne Simien will be Chris Wilcox — with more polish.
One of Wilcox's weaknesses was that outside of unbridled athleticism, his pure basketball game was raw, almost average. Simien never had this problem. He came in early and proved his post game was as precocious as his keen basketball IQ. He played with an anger you cannot teach and with a body sported by many NBA power forwards. The scary thing about Simien is that he has an entire off-season to work on his agility, condition and strength. In two years, his name will be mentioned in the same breath as Gooden's.
And about Drew. He's not coming back. You can stop dreaming. But with two senior stars and a limitless sophomore, Kansas fans can start fixating on a new dream.
A 2003 National Championship.
