WHO AM I # 2
WHO AM I # 2
ALL RIGHT BOY AND GIRLS, HERE'S YOUR SECOND CHANCE TO GUESS WHO WE HAVE IN THE FRYING PAN THIS WEEK. THIS FORMER STUD MUFFIN MAY BE EASY FOR SOME, DIFFICULT FOR OTHERS....
WHO AM I ?!
MY HIGH SCHOOL MASCOT WAS, OF ALL THINGS, A BEAVER...
MY HIGH SCHOOL RECORD STILL STANDS IN THE "BROAD" JUMP (HIGH 22'S)...
IN HIGH SCHOOL I RAN THE 440 IN 51 AND THE HH IN 14.7 (ON CINDERS BOYS!)...
IN HIGH SCHOOL I SET SCHOOL, DISTRICT, AND SECTIONAL RECORDS IN THE 120HH'S,
THE LJ, AND THE 440...
AT THE PIAA'S STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS MY SENIOR YEAR, I PLACED 2ND IN THE LJ, AND
4TH IN THE HH'S...
AT PENN STATE, I MAJORED IN ZOOLOGY (NO, THAT DOESN'T MEAN FRAT BROTHER!)...
I WAS A TWO-TIME NATE CARTMELL WINNER, ON THE ACADEMIC HONOR ROLL, AND CO-CAPTAIN
OF THE OF THE TRACK TEAM...
I WAS A MEMBER OF THE RECORD HOLDING 4X100 AND 4X200 RELAY TEAMS...
I HELD THE INDOOR 440 RECORD AT 48.7, RAN THE 120HH'S IN 14.3, THE 220 IN 21.7,
ALSO RAN THE 440IH'S AND LONG JUMPED...
NOW THE AWESOME STUFF:
I HAVE PARTICIPATED IN MANY MASTER CHAMPIONSHIPS AND HAVE ACTUALLY WON THE WORLD CHAMPION MASTER DIVISION FIVE TIMES IN THE HIGH HURDLES...
MASTERS CHAMPION IN THE 200 AND A MEMBER OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP 4X400 MASTERS TEAM...
LED OFF THE MASTERS 4X 400 WORLD RECORD SETTING TEAM WITH A 49.8- AT THE AGE OF 42
THAT SAME YEAR I RAN 22.5 IN THE 200 AND 14.7 IN THE 110 HH'S...
ONE OF MY FAVORITE WORKOUTS WAS SPRINT INTERVALS IN REC HALL!...
LEAST FAVORITE WORKOUT WAS RUNNING DISTANCE WORK OUTS WITH FREDRICKS!...
FAVORITE MEMORY OF COACH: WHEN HE CAME TO FISTICUFFS WITH A, SOON TO BE CANNED
DISTANCE RUNNER, THAT HAD TO BE BROKEN UP BY SHOT PUTTER, MIKE
REID (ALL-AMERICAN FOOTBALL PLAYER). COACH WAS ACTUALLY WINNING
WHEN HE PULLED HIM AWAY!...
I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WIFE NAMED SANDRA AND DAUGHTER NAMED ERICA...
ONE PSU GRAD I'D LIKE TO FIND WOULD BE BOB BEAM WHO ANCHORED OUR RELAY TEAMS...

FEATURED AS THE NEXT CELEBRITY ALUMNI...
