Spring sports have traditionally been successful for the Bronchos men's and women's teams, and this year is no different.

Bobby Hunt's baseball team has gotten off to one of its fastest starts ever. Despite having 13 games delayed or cancelled because of poor weather, CSU was rated 13th in the latest NAIA national poll. At press time, CSU stood 21-4 for the season. "We just haven't been able to get in as many games as I had hoped for," Hunt said. "It's the same for everyone, but it's hard to get into any type of rhythm when your'e not playing."

CSU has received good pitching this season, anchored by Ron Maxwell, Brett Hauser and David Gibson. The Bronchos have carried some big sticks to the plate, as they have averaged eight runs per game.

The Lady Broncos softball squad has fared quite well. Despite having a very young team, Gerry Pinkston's team has compiled a very respectable 12-10 record.

The best thing about the 12-10 record is that it has came against some very strong competition and dispite some errors that have crept up at an inoppuhune time. "We're a vey young team and sometimes it shows, but we're improving," Pinkston said. "We've played against some very good teams, and we've came close to defeating some of the top teams in the nation."

The track team has ran into the same problem that the baseballers have faced, but continue to get in good performances. "We've had some success and done some things well, so despite the weather problems, I'm satisfied with what we've accomplished so far," head coach Paul Parent stated.

Accomplishments have been far from few as they have have already won the Bison Relays. Gilbert Hornbeak, Alan Erwin, Gerrard Alexander and Jeff Murr all captured individual wins in that event.

Spring round-up

The golf team has continued to show why it is always one of the top NAIA teams. The Bronchos, who finished 10th in the national tournament last year, have already won a tournament and finished second in another.

By winning the Oklahoma Intercollegiate, CSU defeated defending NAIA national champion Cameron and also outdistanced Wichita State. Jeff Freeman captured individual honors, carding rounds of 71-73-76--220. CSU also got solid rounds out of Mike Stewart, Ralph Arnn, David Seaton and David Payne.

In the CSU Invitational, the Bronchos led after 36 holes, but Cameron was able to overtake CSU the final day. Stewart also placed second in the tournament, shooting rounds of 75-70-75--220. That was good enough to get him into a sudden-death play-off, but lost out to Camerons Freddie Wisdom on the first hole.

Francis Baxter's men's and women's tennis teams got off to a shaky start, but have since come on strongly.

The men won the Emporia Tournament recently, defeating some of the top teams in Kansas and Nebraska. Kevin Hill and Louis Ferreira teamed up to win a doubles title as did Andy Anderson and Scott Schropp. Raymond Dakudo and and Lonnie Phillips were runners-up in their bracket.

In singles play, Ferreira and Anderson shared an individual title while Phillips and Dakudo were runners-up.

The Lady Bronchos have done quite, well this season, despite the fact they have only four girls on a roster that should have six. "We've done quite well considering the circumstances," Baxter said. "We have a fine group of kids, and they're starting to play as a team."
