Victorious
Over Paine

On Feb. 27, the Lady Panthers
clenched a SIAC Conference
Tournament berth with a 73-44
win over Paine College.
One of the keys to this victory
was the fast pace and high con
centration of the Lady Panthers’
playing. Many of the team
members stepped up and and
turned in incredible individual
performances. Adrienne
Tinch did not only lead the Lady
Panthers in scoring, she was the
top scorer of the game with 19
points. She also was the game
leader in rebounds with a total of
10.
Jerylin Jenkins crowned her
self “queen of the three” by
leading the team in three point
shots.
There were several compara
ble differences between the
game statistics for the Lady
Panthers and Paine College that
also accounted for CAU’s victo
ry. One of the disparities was
the free throw percentages: CAU
hit 53 percent of their foul shots
while Paine College had only hit
25 percent of their foul shots.
Also, Paine College turned over
the ball 35 times, while the Lady
Panthers only allowed 19
turnovers.
“The team had prepared for
the victory for the whole sea
son,” said Coach Angelyn
Brown. “We wanted to prove
people (who underestimated us)
wrong.”
Brown wanted all to be reas
sured that there will be no
change in the the techniques of
the Lady Panthers now that they
are in the playoffs. “We are not
going to change a thing. We are
playing where we need to be.”
The prospect of playing
the number one seed in the
West, Alabama A&M, does not
cause concern in the heart of the
Lady Panthers. “We beat them
before, we are going into the
game with confidence,” said
Brown.
The Lady Panthers
began playing in Alabama
March 1, and have reportedly
been successful in the tourna
ment.
The 1996 Olympics will be
historical for Atlanta and Clark
Atlanta University because the
Olympic Track will be moved to
the campus at the end of the
Games.
No other Olympic Oval has
ever been moved to another site
after the Games, according to
the March 1995 issue of “Track
& Field News. ”
The track will be located on
the old Atlanta University field
behind Bumstead Hall. The
track will be placed inside the
new stadium being built for the
Olympic field hockey practices.
“Our own facilities will cer
tainly enhance performance and
make recruiting easier,” said Dr.
Richard Cosby, director of CAU
Athletics. “Everything will
become better. It will certainly
make the team better.”
CAU’s male and female track
teams now practice either at
conditioning routines on campus,
according to Cosby.
With the expected addition,
track teams will have the conve-
niece of a weight room, lockers,
sports medicine facilities and
their own track within walking
distance, which are all luxuries
they have never had.
The new track will have
between eight and 12 lanes
according to track coach David
Edwards.
Negotiations between the
Atlanta Olympic Committee and
the Atlanta University Center
presidents made it possible for
CAU to receive the Olympic
Oval.
“We are strategically located
near the Games, and we had
existing properties meeting the
geographic requirements,” said
Cosby. “This makes it more fea
sible to construct here.”
The track teams will be able to
practice and host meets in their
own stadium by the spring of
1997.
Break Fast For
The Most
Important
Meal
By Krystal Hunter
Sports Editor
Do you remember hearing
people say that breakfast was
the most important meal of
the day? Well, they were
right. Research shows that
non-breakfast eaters struggle
with weight problems more
than breakfast eaters
because they tend to over
compensate by eating more
at later times or eating snacks
with a lot of fat.
Cut The Fat:
For leaner meals, cut your
usual portion of meat in half or
in a third. In its place, add
vegetables, grains and starch
es,
New Food Labels:
New food label regulations
went into effect as of
May 1994. One of the advan
tages of the new regulations is
that the nutrition claims are
clearer and there is a more
specific criteria that has to be
met in order for products to
bear a label.
Some examples of the new
labeling regulations are:
Low fat: For a single food to
be considered low fat, it must
have a maximum of 3 grams
of fat in a typical serving.
Fat free: For a single food to
be considered fat free, it must
have less than ,5 grams of fat
in a serving. It also cannot
have any added fat or oil..
Lean: For meat or poultry to
be considered lean, it must
have less than 10 grams of fat.
