Men's race offers close competition

·

Practicing for hours each day and working to become a champion is not the only thing that the 33 teams competing for the men's Little 500 title have in common. Because the men's times in Individual Time Trials (ITT) almost mirror one another, this race is expected to be close.

From cheerleader to lifter

·

On the surface, one would be hard-pressed to find the relationship between 22-year-old IU grad student Michelle Amsden and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Perhaps they would guess that "Ah-nold" is her uncle or second cousin. Or maybe they would assume that the two had a small scene together in the movie "Jingle All the Way." Neither scenario is the case. The thing that Amsden has in common with Schwarzenegger is her ability to pump iron -- and lots of it. So much, in fact, that the former IU cheerleader is a national champion in the sport of powerlifting.

Hoosiers defeat Bulldogs

·

INDIANAPOLIS -- Practice can pay off. Just ask the women's soccer team. The Hoosiers spent the last half hour of practice Monday preparing for a scoring situation identical to the one that presented itself in the second half of yesterday's game against Butler at Kuntz Field in Indianapolis. The end result was sophomore Carly Everett hitting a set kick toward the goal on the right side to junior midfielder, and Butler transfer, Kara Bryan. Bryan deflected the ball to sophomore Emily Hotz, who scored the game's only goal as Indiana downed the Bulldogs 1-0.

Bringing home the bucket

·

Finally. At last, an IU football team won a game without having to score 40 points. Without having to gain 500-plus yards. Without trading touchdowns and hoping to score the final one. IU beat Purdue 13-7 Saturday because of defense. Finally. "It feels so great to be a defensive player on this team right now," junior safety Joe Gonzalez said. "The offense has bailed us out a lot of times. They've put a lot of points on the board. The offense shouldn't have to do that.

Woods wins again

·

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- One by one, the best golfers in the world stepped aside. It was Sunday at the Masters and Tiger Woods was in the lead. "After the front nine, I knew it was all over for me," U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen said. He wasn't alone. Woods won his third green jacket by proving he was far more daunting than a toughened up, redesigned Augusta National. He seized control with an early burst of birdies and watched his rivals crash in a desperate and reckless attempt to catch him. The result was another march into history, with Woods becoming only the third player to win back-to-back titles.

A Family Curse Lifted

·

After leading his team, The Corleones, to victory Saturday in the 52nd running of the men's Little 500 race, senior Daniel Burns credited his older brother and friends for pushing him to victory. "My brother got me started on riding," Burns said. "I rode with him in the 2000 race; he was a fifth-year and I was a sophomore. I became good friends with all his friends and they all kept pushing me on, pushing me on. I guess I can attribute my victory to him more than anyone else. They kept pushing me all the way, all the old riders kept pushing me."

Lyon named as soccer coach

·

Expect the women's soccer team to be goal-oriented next year. They won't be just scoring goals on the field, they'll also be meeting them off the field. At least that's what the new coach said he will demand of them. "For the team, their first goal will be to get to the Big Ten Tournament," newly-announced head coach Michael Lyon said. "That absolute must, will happen this year. Once we get in there, we're three games from the championship, so you can reassess at that point and then say 'What's the goal right here? Let's win this thing.'"

Qualifications for Little 500 Saturday

·

Saturday could determine the future for the potential riders of Little 500, but it's not likely. The first leg of the Little 500 begins this weekend, beginning with qualifications at Bill Armstrong Stadium. The quals, for many riders, are a chance to get on the track and start the next four weeks of preparation until race day April 19 and 20. For others, the qualification time could determine their performance come race day.

Making the transition: Prep coaches join IU's staff

·

Middle school physical education teacher in the mornings and afternoons. College football coach in the late afternoons and early evenings. That was how Ted Huber spent his long work days in the early 1980s when he served as Lee Corso's defensive ends coach at IU. In 1980, Huber left his job as Bloomington South football coach to join Corso's staff. "I had a secret desire to become a college coach," said Huber, who now coaches centers and guards at Ball State. It's easy to forget Huber once coached at IU. Hundreds of players, dozens of assistants and three head coaches have come and gone since the time Huber and Corso left Bloomington.

Coach to meet former team

·

Tonight's match for the women's volleyball team will present an unfamiliar challenge for the players, but a familiar opponent for head coach Katie Weismiller. Indiana meets St. Louis tonight at the Bauman-Eberhardt Center on the St. Louis campus. This is the first meeting in six years between the two teams, but Weismiller's ties to the Billikens makes this matchup interesting. Weismiller, a native of St. Louis, began her career at SLU as head coach from 1989-1991. SLU won more than 75 percent of their matches under Weismiller, posting a 50-24 record. Weismiller also made an appearance at the Midwestern Collegiate Conference Championship in 1989.

Coaches bring new style to IU

·

Patrolling the 50-yard line at Memorial Stadium Saturday, coach Gerry DiNardo eyed his football team as it participated in pre-practice stretches. Piercing through the 40-degree wind blowing toward the north end of the stadium was the scratchy, Boston accent of defensive line coach Joe Cullen.

Benson's campaign comes to an end

·

For former IU basketball star Kent Benson, swishing a jump shot was far easier than being away from his family. Benson put an end to his pursuit of Indiana's Secretary of State office last week, saying he wants to spend more time with his family.
