By Katie Schoenbaechler and Katie Shoenbaechler · Friday, April 2,2004 1:22 a.m.

The Little 500 women's field is getting more competitive with each spring series event. Alpha Gamma Delta set the standard at qualifications as the first to break a track record this year. But Kappa Kappa Gamma soon followed -- beating the newly-set record. With a record-breaking precedent set for the 2004 series events, Individual Time Trials didn't disappoint.

Thinking about Final Four

By Dan Cohen and Daniel Cohen · Friday, April 2,2004 1:20 a.m.

Before I begin, I need to take a TV timeout. Can you imagine if after every four sentences I took a break? OK, fine, sometimes the columns read like that anyway, but stick with me on this one. In the three hours of a CBS-broadcast NCAA basketball game, one only watches 40 minutes of actual game coverage. And heaven forbid CBS stays on the game during a timeout. A player asking for a second to tie his shoe does not warrant another commercial.

New coach leads Hoosiers

By John Fischer · Thursday, April 1,2004 1:09 a.m.

There was a point in time when the only thing Steve Peterson wanted was to play football. Now, he is the IU rowing team's new head coach. Peterson started rowing for the club team his freshman year at the University of Rhode Island. While he was there, he fell in love with the sport and the club was fairly successful. Peterson even rowed for the U.S. National Team and participated in the 1990 World Championships and the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

Rain holds off as IU beats Valparaiso

By Alex Witteveld · Thursday, April 1,2004 1:05 a.m.

On a gloomy, rainy day, the Hoosiers found a three-hour period where the spring showers held off just long enough to play nine innings of baseball. IU survived a ninth-inning rally from Valparaiso to pick up the victory 6-4, and improve its record to 16-7 on the season.

The boys of summer are back

By Matt Glenesk · Thursday, April 1,2004 1:04 a.m.

Ah, spring. The rain is falling, the grass is green, and the trees are beginning to bud. But while spring may mean warmer temperatures and shorter skirts, there's only one item the spring season brings that interests me -- the return of Major League Baseball. After a thrilling October, the 2004 season has quite a bit of hype to live up to. Here's how things look.

Top recruit all but says goodbye to IU basketball

By David Paulen · Thursday, April 1,2004 1:04 a.m.

IU men's basketball recruit Josh Smith may have lost his eligibility to play for the Hoosiers by participating in Wednesday night's McDonald's All-Star Game. Smith signed a letter of intent with IU in November. But many scouts believe he could be one of the top picks in the NBA draft if he enters, but Smith has made no statement to the public about his final decision. The 6-foot-8 senior from Powder Springs, Ga., may have already made his statement about whether or not he'll go pro. By participating in the McDonald's All-Star Game Wednesday night, Smith violated an NCAA rule regarding all-star game participation, which may cause him to be ineligible for his freshman year, should he attend IU. According to NCAA rules, "a student-athlete shall be denied the first year of intercollegiate athletics competition, if following completion of high school eligibility, and prior to the student-athlete's high school graduation, he participates in more than two all-star basketball contests." Smith already competed at the EA Sports Roundball Classic in Chicago and the EA Sports/Adidas All-American Game in Knoxville, Tenn., last week.

Foul weather doesn't stop riders

By Katie Schoenbaechler and Katie Shoenbaechler · Thursday, April 1,2004 1:02 a.m.

Even rain can't stop Little 500. No matter how much. Individual Time Trials, the second of the Spring Cycling Series Events, began Wednesday with a beautiful sunset and semi-chilly weather but soon became a wet mess when rain and small hail pounded Bill Armstrong Stadium. Without the threat of lightning or thunder, the event went on as planned but not without a soggy track, freezing riders and lots and lots of rain.

IU hopes offense will keep streak alive

By Mark Carlson · Tuesday, March 30,2004 11:23 p.m.

After a slow start Saturday at the Hoosier Invitational, the Hoosiers' offense took off Sunday. IU (19-16) only mustered three runs during Saturday's two losses to Western Kentucky and Notre Dame. The team, clearly frustrated from Saturday's outing, gained its confidence back Sunday by beating St. Louis twice with a combined score of 16-4.
