Runners Finish Strong Men Nab First Title Since 1982 Football players get "glory" and basketball players revel in cutting down the nets, but what does it take to don the spiked cleats and run track? "Track takes more discipline than any other sport, " fourth-year Head Track Coach Bryan Phillips said. "It is an individual performance . There is no such thing as being physical; you have to focus and do your part." Perhaps that was the combination - discipline and focus - that led to the Bisons ' dominance of the lanes in 1993. The Bisons took home both the indoor and outdoor conference championships and beat the rest of the competition for their first district title since 1982. The Bisons offered a sign of things to come with individual victories during the Ouachita Baptist University Invitational and a dual meet with OBU. But the team stumbled a bit in the pre-conference meet and settled for a second place finish. Having qualified three people in four events and one or more in several others, the Bisons were determined to win the championship. "We had several strong events, and that 's probably the reason we won," Phillips said. "Three placed in the high jump, three placed in the intermediate 400-met r hurdles, three plac din the 10,000met rand three placed in the 5,000-meter. " igmond Donelson and Tquan Moore each won conference championships , Don 1 on in the high jump and Moore in the triple jump. In addition to winning the conference, Moore was also named an All-American. Nathan Mills led the Bisons in individual points with a second-place finish in the 10,009-meter, a second-place finish in the 5,000-m ter, and a fourthplace finish in the 15,000-meter. - Bart Blasengame SEASON AT A GLANCE Harding University Southern Arkansas University Henderson State University Ouachita Baptist University University of Central Arkansas University of Arkansas , Monticello 137 126 84 68.5 60.5 46 Sigmond Donelson attempts a leap over the horizontal bar.
