Jefferson paces Hoosiers

By Rob DeWitte and Rob eWitte · Wednesday, Sept. 1,2004 1:26 a.m.

The past year has seen a transformation of IU's marquee distance runner. After nearly two years of frustration due to injury and other factors, Florida native Sean Jefferson came to national prominence last year with a serious breakthrough. Jefferson seized the NCAA Indoor Championships mile final halfway through with a strong surge and never looked back, coasting across the finish line in celebration, his time right at the magical four-minute barrier.

By Brian Janosch · Wednesday, Sept. 1,2004 1:23 a.m.

As each season starts, priority No. 1 is filling the voids left from the year before. And most of the time it is simply the matter of bringing up the anxious bench player to replace the lost senior. Most of the time. This season, the IU men's soccer team has the responsibility of replacing an All-American who led the team to its sixth national title.

Serena Williams advances with win

By Alyson Brodsy and Howard Fendrich · Tuesday, Aug. 31,2004 1:52 a.m.

NEW YORK -- Dressed for a night on the town, Serena Williams was all business in her first match in 4 1/2 weeks. Williams strode into Arthur Ashe Stadium wearing knee-high black boots, a pleated denim miniskirt, a studded black tank top and dangling earrings. A far cry from the tennis attire of days gone by, to be sure, but then again, Williams' powerful strokes bear little resemblance to the way the women's game used to be played.

"There are few times in your life where you get to write the final chapter the way you want to," Hamm said. "I think a lot of us did that tonight."
