One final test before race

·

For weeks, months and in some cases, years, Little 500 riders have been working as one to form the perfect team. They train together, ride together and some even live together. As the teams take the track next weekend, the unity and strength they've been building will be tested, but before the race, there is one final test of rider ability: Team Pursuit. The final of the Little 500 spring series events -- Team Pursuit -- will begin tonight at Bill Armstrong Stadium. The event is the most team-oriented of the series events, and tests pack riding and a team's overall ability.

·

In only his seventh year at the helm of the Hoosier water polo program, IU coach Barry King has taken leaps and bounds with each passing year as he continues to move his teams to the top of the national rankings.

Loring becomes first coach in NCAA to win 600 games

·

If Tony Kornheiser, host of ESPN's "Pardon the Interruption," were to make a list of the top college tennis programs in the country, IU would certainly be listed among those on top of his "food chain." But if he were to list the coaches with 600 or more wins, Lin Loring would be it. 'That's it. That's the list,' Kornheiser would say. And yet even at his own University, a place where he has worked for more than 20 years, he goes relatively unknown outside the tennis world.

Equestrian team rides to nationals

·

It's time to saddle up for IU's equestrian team. This year, four members of the the team qualified for zones, or the equivalent of a conference tournament, April 3 and 4. Of the four participants, one qualified for the national competition, which is IU's first in almost five years. The national competition will be held April 30 through May 2.

Bonds away!

·

Six hundred sixty one and counting. Like Barry Bonds or not, 661 home runs is still quite a remarkable feat, making him third all-time on the homerun list. I can't think of anything I've done worth remembering 661 times -- well, maybe there are two things (get imaginative, I ain't getting fired for the sake of a joke).

·

The baseball game between IU and Wright State scheduled for today has been canceled because of the possibility of rain in Dayton, Ohio. There has been no makeup date set so far.

A Phil-y tale ending

·

I can't shoot under 100. I can't drive the ball straight. I can't putt on level greens. I can't differentiate my irons -- heck, I can't even be a member at some golf clubs. I don't wear golf shoes. I don't own my own clubs. I don't even know how to comprehend a handicap, let alone read a green -- heck, I couldn't find the next tee with a map and a compass.

IU looks to end losing streak

·

Through the first six games in the Big Ten schedule, IU has yet to defeat a conference opponent. After promising performances against tough non-conference foes such as Nebraska and Harvard, the Hoosiers' (23-23, 0-6) start to the Big Ten season is certainly upsetting.

Czech Republic native leading Hoosiers at No. 1 spot

·

It started for junior Jakub Praibis when he was four years old, hitting a ball against the wall. By age seven, he was on the court. Now, the 21-year-old native of Litomerice, Czech Republic, has emerged as one of the nation's best tennis players, leading the No. 68 Hoosiers (10-8, 4-2). Praibis, in his second year playing No. 1 singles for IU, has compiled a record of 12-5 this season, including five victories over ranked players. Praibis' career record at IU is 42-20.

Rivals bring tough competition

·

Preconceived notions can go a long way. IU rowing coach Steve Peterson should know. He once described his team as one that just won't quit or succumb to the title of underdog.

Homecoming for 3 Hoosiers

·

The No. 35-ranked IU women's tennis team looks to change its road woes as it plays one-half of a four-game road stretch this weekend in Michigan. The Hoosiers (11-6, 3-1 Big Ten) take on No. 25 Michigan Saturday before traveling to East Lansing to battle the Michigan State Spartans.

The meet features three visiting collegiate teams and eight high school girls teams from the state of Indiana. The collegiate athletes will not compete against the high school athletes.
