The Gamecocks edged Clemson by eight points for the title. Other teams competing were Baptist Col lege, The Citadel, Furman and FrancisMarion. "This was a crucial meet. We're doing a lot better as a team," head track coach Charlie Strong said. "The 'good' runners and fielders are performing well, and I believe in one month we'll be ready for Metros." For the first time in 10 years, USC will host NRA in n Chan By The Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. ?

This team is our strongest ever, and I think we have a chance to win Metros," Brantley said. Gerke, a junior marketing major, was the Metro Conference champ in the indoor pole vault earlier this season. He said, "I don't think I've reached my potential yet. I've got a lot of work to do. Right now I have an outside chance to go to the NCAA's and a solid fourth place standing in the conference." The meet's highlight's came from former USC runningback Raynard Brown. Brown won the 100-meter dash with a time of 10.46 seconds, defeating the 100-meter USC champion, Olie Taylor, who had a time of 10.51 larlotte totte team wot the presence of a pro team ? the Atlanta Hawks ? has helped his program, not hindered it. "When I first came, people tried to use that against me in recruiting," Cremins said. "But I've had good relationships with the Hawks' coaches, first Kevin Loughery and now Mike Fratello, and they've both helped me in recruiting. "The kids like living in a pro town, being able to sec the pro teams play, Cremins added. Smith agrees. "I'm for the city of Charlotte, and I think the NBA would be good for it," Smith said.

The NBA board of governors will vote later this month on league expansion, and Charlotte is expected to get a team. Earlier, an NBA expansion committee recommended Charlotte to the board as the best city for the proposed league expansion. George Shinn, a Charlotte businessman who would be the team's managing general partner, said he has heard skeptics say the city would not support professional sports. "Rnf ncnnli> in thn NRA fnlH me nnp nf thf? biggest assets I had was that this area loved college basketball," Shinn said.
