Young runners start off strong

By Jon Prober | September 13, 1999

This weekend's men's and women's cross-country races at Darden Towe Park in Charlottesville provided the teams with a chance to start their season at a place they won't have the opportunity to race at again this season -- home. The Cav men's and women's squads took advantage of their 1999 home debut by placing second in the women's race and third in the men's battle. "I'm enthused -- it was a good beginning for us even though we're real young," Cav cross-country coach Evan "Buz" Male said. The Virginia women scored 57 points to earn the runner-up position to James Madison's 19 and the men tallied 84 points to finish behind Liberty's 15 and William & Mary's 50. "The women did a good job to come in second, they ran tough," Male said.

Mistakes, poor execution add up to tough loss

By John Moorehouse | September 13, 1999

CLEMSON, S.C.--With 6:11 to go in the third quarter and the Tigers holding a gargantuan 33-0 lead, the ABC affiliate in Clemson decided to cut away to the game between Notre Dame and Purdue. It was only then that Virginia succeeded in finding the end zone. That kind of too little, too late success on offense embodied what was a very forgettable day for Virginia football. So what happened exactly?

Braver than the average man:

By Isaac Gradman | September 8, 1999

If the kick were just a few feet shorter, the latest chapter in the saga of Todd Braverman's Virginia career could have been entitled "Gone with the Wind." Thankfully for the third-year kicker and for the Cavalier fans, the plot took a bit of a twist. When Braverman's 50-yard, wind-aided field goal cleared the crossbar with 27 seconds left to beat North Carolina, all of the misfortune of the third year's roller-coaster career virtually was erased. "It's very redeeming," Braverman said.
