Kenny and Melvin took it to heart knowing they would have to at least be as good or better than they've ever been and they gave themselves a chance. 1,500-meter runners Gabe Jennings and Michael Stember are the only 2000 Olympiad athletes who competed at the NCAA meet with more NCAA eligibility remaining, Booth said. Junior College, also made the U.S. team. Booth wasn't singing Lister's work ethic praises the first couple of weeks after Melvin completed his senior eligibility at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. But he realized, I've got to get with it' and he did.
Razorbacks take care of business at the right time.
Lister is part of just a handful of departing collegians to make the Olympic team, Booth said. Nobody ever doubts Howard's work ethic. Robert has come from a year and half rehab from Achilles tendon injuries that would have terminated the track career's of most, especially in a pounding event like the triple jump. Howard's injury made him the longest shot of the three to be an Olympian when the outdoor season began last March. But that's heart.
