Sub 10 Second Tuesday - UNC Charlotte’s Darius Law

The bigger you are, the faster you run? Not the case for Darius Law. Standing 5 feet, 2 inches and weighing about 95 pounds during his freshman year of high school, he was cut from the football, basketball and baseball teams at Southeast Raleigh. Scared of rejection, Law decided to start running track during his sophomore year of high school, because it was the only sport that didn’t have cuts. In his senior season, he had recorded one of the fastest 400 meter times (47.24) ever run by a North Carolina high school athlete. For his efforts, he earned a scholarship to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

The 26-time Atlantic 10 Conference champion, recently completed his studies in business management, earning a perfect 4.0 GPA through four years of college. Law is headed back to the NCAA’s for the second consecutive year in the 400 meters, he’ll be hoping to end his collegiate career as a Charlotte 49er on a high note.

PreRaceJitters caught up with the true student-athlete for the Pre-NCAA installment of Sub 10 Second Tuesday.

PreRaceJitters: At the East preliminary, you ran 46.33 in the 400 meters, to advance back to the NCAA championships for the third consecutive year.
How do you feel about your performance?

Darius Law: Most importantly, I’m pleased that I achieved my primary goal of advancing to the 2nd round of the NCAA Championships in the 400m. Although I was hoping to run under 46 seconds, I’m just thankful and grateful that I survived and will get another chance to run versus some of the best 400m runners in the nation in Des Moines, Iowa. However, based solely on times, the 46.33 that I ran doesn’t quite compare to the 45.29 that I ran last year in the 400m or the 45.77 that I ran my sophomore year during this same time period.

PreRaceJitters: You’re quite the accomplished track athlete, having won 26 Atlantic-10 Conference titles in a number of events, such as the 200, 400, 4×100 and 4×400.
What does it mean to you to have accomplished this much?

Darius Law: All of my accomplishments and awards are truly blessings, but I don’t really focus on winning awards and getting recognition. Instead, I just focus on trying to be the best student, athlete, and person that I can be. While I’m very fortunate that I was able to leave my mark on the Atlantic 10 Conference, I just hope that people respect my academic accomplishments and community activism just as much as my athletic achievements. I want my legacy to be much bigger than anything that I have ever accomplished on the track because I firmly believe that as an athlete I do more than just run; I motivate; I inspire; I uplift; I achieve; and I lead…by example.

PreRaceJitters: Standing 5 feet, 10 inches and weighing about 125 pounds - many would guess that you were a distance runner instead than a sprinter. Does being a undersized in comparison to the prototypical sprinter give you a source of motivation?

Darius Law: I would definitely say that my size does give me a source of motivation because I always notice spectators pointing fingers at me before my races begin. I would guess that they are saying, “That boy D-Law is little… but he can still fly”. I would sum it all up by saying that I have never had height or weight, but one thing that I have always had is heart…and you can’t measure heart in a form of inches or pounds.

PreRaceJitters: You’re the true definition of a student-athlete. You recently completed your studies in business management, earning a perfect 4.0 grade point average through four years of college. What does it mean to have that accomplishment under your belt?

Darius Law: I have always put academics before athletics, so being able to graduate with Business Honors and a perfect cumulative 4.0 GPA was like running 43 or 44 seconds in the 400m. Walking across the stage on May 14th, 2011 really felt like I had won an Olympic Gold Medal. Just like an athlete training for the Olympic Games, earning my undergraduate degree was the accumulation of four hard years of studying day in and day out. It was also validation of many sacrifices that I’ve made over the past four years. What many people don’t realize is that I have been able to emerge as a top sprinter without being fully committed to Track & Field. Track has always been secondary to my education, which has caused me to make some major sacrifices as an athlete. In four years at Charlotte, my sleeping schedule has been unhealthy and I have never really lifted any weights. There have been track meets where I’ve stayed up studying and competed off of only 4 hours of sleep. My coach would say, “D-Law you need to get your rest”, and I would tell him that I had to do what I had to do and that lack of sleep was just one of the sacrifices that I was willing to make. In terms of weight lifting, it wasn’t that I was lazy; I just didn’t have enough time in the day to devote to both track practice and weight training. Once again, my coach understood that sprinting for excellence in the classroom was more important to me than sprinting to excellence on the track.

PreRaceJitters: You were recently awarded the Nish Jamgotch Jr. Humanitarian Student Award for your outstanding achievements in the community. How does it feel to have earned this honor?

Darius Law: First off, I just want to thank Dr. Nish Jamgotch Jr. for creating such a prestigious award. It is truly a blessing and honor to be recognized for the one thing that is most important to me, which is helping others. Like I personally expressed to Dr. Jamgotch, I look forward to the day in my life when I can pay it forward by establishing the Darius Law Humanitarian Student Athlete Award to recognize future students for his/her achievements.

PreRaceJitters: What are some of the community service activities that you have been involved in over the past four years at Charlotte?

Darius Law: In addition to leading a campus wide effort to raise awareness, money, and shoes for Samaritan’s Feet and the 300 million children that wake up every morning without a pair, I have helped organize efforts to donate new unwrapped toys for children for Toys for Tots, volunteered my time to tutor middle school children, participated in a date auction to help raise money for breast cancer, and even visited a detention center to talk to juveniles about attending college and the importance of goal-setting.

PreRaceJitters: What motivates you to give back to your community?

Darius Law: I have already noted that I have always put academics before athletics, but more importantly, I have always put helping other people before all.
My mother, who raised me as a single parent, instilled in me the importance of always helping others and giving back to the community at a very early age. Growing up in Raleigh, NC, I witnessed my mom change the lives of many children by serving as a therapeutic foster parent and welcoming children suffering from severe social, emotional, and/or behavior problems into our home with open arms full of love and joy. My rare life experiences growing up listening to the stories of children who had previously been abused, mistreated, neglected, and/or absent of a relationship with his/her biological parents is what lead to my humanitarian efforts and willingness to go above and beyond in terms of helping other people.

PreRaceJitters: How were you able to balance your academic, athletic and social lives all four years?

Darius Law: I don’t think it was very difficult at all. Although I was a 4.0 student-athlete, I had lots of fun in college and really got the full experience. For me, it was all about strategizing, keeping my priorities in order, managing my time, and understanding that having fun was necessary and healthy. I didn’t want to just be a bookworm. Therefore, I planned ahead and made sure I took care of business in the classroom and on the track first and then rewarded myself by having fun and hanging out afterwards. Finally, I mastered a lot of studying techniques early on as a college student and had a great strategy which was really the key to my success. I hope that I am able to share my true secrets and philosophy with student-athletes around the world one day.

PreRaceJitters: Talk about your four years at Charlotte, as a student-athlete. What will you remember most about being a 49er?

Darius Law: I will always remember the continuous support that the entire university and the Charlotte community provided me with. I can’t even describe how amazing this journey has been, but I can say that it has been, by far, the best four years of my life. Although I’m looking forward to everything that my future has in store, I will never forget the place that I call home and the opportunities that Charlotte presented me with. I will always be a Charlotte 49er, and I will always bleed GREEN.

PreRaceJitters: You have the ability to compete for a spot on the US team in 2012, but you’re also thinking about law school. What direction will you take?

Darius Law: Growing up, I never had dreams of becoming a professional athlete; I always had dreams of becoming a lawyer. And with the last name Law, I think it was all written from the beginning. However, instead of going directly to Law School, I have decided to take some time off to be fully committed to Track & Field (for the 1st time) with hopes of earning a spot on the US team in 2012. This upcoming year, I’m going to finally hit the weight room hard and really start doing the little things, such as eat and sleep right, that I haven’t been able to do in the past because of my extreme focus on school. Reflecting on my track career thus far, I just can’t stop running now because I know in my heart that I have so many opportunities to get better and so much unfulfilled potential. If I ran 45.29 barely getting by, then I know I have the potential to run 44 seconds or even faster once I finally commit and get serious about Track & Field. It’s almost unheard of for an elite sprinter to run fast without lifting weights, and I have been ducking and dodging the weight room for several years now. But those days are finally over, it’s time for me to step up to the plate and work just as hard on the track and in the weight room as I have worked in the classroom over the past four years. I also think this decision will help me in the long-run as taking advantage of an opportunity to earn a spot on the US team in 2012 should help me standout amongst thousands of other law school applicants in the near future.

PreRaceJitters: Do you get pre-race jitters? If so, how do you overcome them?

Darius Law: YES, I do have pre-race jitters. In addition to reciting Deuteronomy 31:6 and Philippians 4:13 over and over and over again, I overcome my pre-race jitters by talking to myself. I say, “D-Law this is the time! Get focused! Let’s go D-Law!”

PreRaceJitters: Looking ahead towards NCAA’s…It’s your final meet in a Charlotte 49er uniform. How do you want to end your career?

Darius Law: I just want to end my career doing what I always do, which is step on the track and give it my all. No matter the outcome, I know I will have always have support from Charlotte and will always be a winner in their books. But being the competitor that I am, when I step on the track to race, please believe that I’m in it to WIN IT!

PreRaceJitters: Thank you for your time and best wishes on the season.

Sub 10 Second Tuesday - Tennessee’s Ellen Wortham

Just a junior, Tennessee’s Ellen Wortham has emerged as one of the top 400 meter hurdlers in the country this season. After missing the finals last year at the NCAA’s, Wortham is back and in great position to win the NCAA title this year.

At the East preliminary, Wortham recorded her eighth consecutive victory. She is currently  ranked eighth in the world, with a career best time of 55.70.

PreRaceJitters caught up with Ellen for the Pre-NCAA installment of Sub 10 Second Tuesday.

PreRaceJitters: At the East preliminary, you recorded your eighth consecutive victory in the 400 meter hurdles. Rainy and windy weather in Bloomington, not the best conditions for hurdling. However you still manage to post a solid time of 56.95, but more importantly you punched your ticket to the NCAA’s. What was the plan going in?

Ellen Wortham: My plan going in mainly was to qualify for NCAA’s with a smooth race, but also stay focused and not relax too much.

PreRaceJitters: You’re headed back to the NCAA’s for the second-straight year. What does it mean to you to return to nationals?

Ellen Wortham: It is a great opportunity for me to race against the fastest collegiate 400 hurdlers in the country and really get a chance to compete to the best of my ability.

PreRaceJitters: Having competed in nationals last year, you know what to expect heading in to competition. Do you feel more mature after last year’s experience?

Ellen Wortham: I definitely feel more prepared at this point from experience in racing at nationals, and I am excited to go out and run my best.

PreRaceJitters: You’ve run some fast times this season, 55.70 being the fastest, which you ran at the SEC Championships. Could you briefly recap that race?

Ellen Wortham: It was a very tough race, because I had to stay relaxed in the beginning when my main competitor, Cassandra Tate, went out really fast the first 200 meters. I had to trust myself to be able to finish strong and run my race and not get too emotional. Sticking to my race plan paid off, and I was able to catch her in the last few meters.

PreRaceJitters:As the meet favorite, do you feel any pressure, if any to perform at a high level to what fans are accustomed to seeing you perform at?

Ellen Wortham: I feel confident and relaxed at this point. Going in last year I was going to have to run my best time to make it into finals. This year I know I will be able to do that without stressing myself. I don’t feel too much pressure from fans or anyone else. I know I will be able to get done what I need to get done if I trust myself.

PreRaceJitters:Running in college your force to compete in a lot of meets. Talk about your health going into the NCAA’s. How are you feeling mentally and physically?

Ellen Wortham: At this point in my career I am accustomed to long seasons, thankfully. I am healthy physically and relaxed mentally. I am excited and ready to go.

PreRaceJitters:What have you been doing in your training to prepare for NCAA’s?

Ellen Wortham: At this point in the season we are just focusing on fine-tuning and keeping the body fresh and maintained for competition. We have been doing lots of recovery and preventative treatments getting ready for the NCAA’s.

PreRaceJitters:What’s life like outside of track?

Ellen Wortham: I have been able to spend more time with my family now that school is out, because I am from the Knoxville area. Most of my time is spent just taking it easy and relaxing from school, and I’m very happy to do so.

PreRaceJitters: Do you get pre-race jitters? If so, how do you overcome them?

Ellen Wortham: Sometimes I get a little anxious earlier in the day if I have to wait a long time to race. I like to listen to relaxing music to help me from getting hyped up too early before my race.

PreRaceJitters: What are you looking to accomplish at NCAA’s?

Ellen Wortham: I am going in hoping to win. More importantly I want to focus on bettering my own race, because I know that doing that will most help what I need to get accomplished. I am also excited to help out our 4×4 and 4×1 relays.

PreRaceJitters: Thank you for your time and best wishes on the season.

Aggie Classic 2011

Sub 10 Second Tuesday - Florida State’s Maurice Mitchell

Over the years, the Florida State men’s track and field program has had its fair share of great sprinters.

Today, Junior Maurice Mitchell’s rise is directly related to the Florida State men capturing their seventh consecutive ACC outdoor title on April 23.

Walter Dix was once the star of the program during the Seminole’s championship run from 2006 to 2008 but today there’s a new face to the program.

Texas A&M men are coming off winning the last two NCAA team championships. However, this season looks to be different as the Seminoles are ranked number four in the the latest USTFCCCA national team poll and poised to make a run for the title.

Fast forward to 2011.

Mitchell is now the two-time ACC champion in the 200 meters, running a career best time of 20.19 a month weeks ago. He also produced a runner up finish in the 100 meters, with another career best time of 10.03.

PreRaceJitters caught up with the FSU junior for the second installment of Sub 10 Second Tuesday.

PreRaceJitters: You’ve run some fast times this season, 10.03 in the 100 meters
and 20.19 over 200 meters. Both times are personal bests and rank third and
second, respectively, in the NCAA this season. How do you feel about your
progress this season?

Maurice Mitchell: I am very happy with how things are progressing. The main
thing that I am happy about is that I am healthy and fit to get nothing but better
everyday. I’m way further along than I was last year, so I’m looking forward to
regionals and nationals.

PreRaceJitters: The ACC conference is one of the most competitive conferences
in the NCAA. How does it feel to repeat as an ACC Champion at 200-meters?

Maurice Mitchell: It’s a true blessing to go out there and compete with the best
guys in the conference. To repeat the 200 at ACC’s was an amazing feeling, and
I thank the Lord for allowing me to represent him and glorifying his name when I
compete on the highest level.

PreRaceJitters: Florida State men captured their seventh consecutive ACC
outdoor title in April. What is it like being part of a winning tradition?

Maurice Mitchell: It’s a great feeling to be part of such a prestige school like
Florida State. They are all about winning and I’m glad I can be able to be part of
a great school with great coaches and athletes. I couldn’t ask for a better team
to be on.

PreRaceJitters: Florida State men won national titles in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
Texas A&M have won the last two championships. What will it take to bring back
the crown  to Tallahassee?

Maurice Mitchell: It’s going to take determination and the team to come together
and step up to the plate. We have a lot of talent and if we all come to nationals
and compete to our best ability, there is possibility we can bring home a national
championship.

PreRaceJitters: You’re coach by Ken Harden, one of the most highly regarded
sprint/hurdle coaches in college track, having coached Jonathan Borlee, Ricardo
Chambers, Charles Clark and Walter Dix to national titles in their individual
events. What is he like as a coach?

Maurice Mitchell: Coach Ken not only cares about himself and winning
championships but he cares about us as individuals. All he wants is the best for
us and I couldn’t ask for any better coach. He gets us ready to compete at the
big meets and I’m happy he knows his stuff.

PreRaceJitters: Some people may think your training sessions are like track
meets, just based off who you’re training with. Your training partners are:
Charles Clark (20.0) Brandon O’Conner (45.89), Ngonidzashe Makusha (9.97),
Kemar Hyman (10.27), David Ambler (10.37) and Brandon Byram (20.4). What is
it like training with these guys everyday?

Maurice Mitchell: It’s just overall great. To have the top guys in the country on
your team is a plus. I’m glad to have great guys around me to get me to that
next level. I couldn’t ask for a better group of guys to train with. We do nothing
but get each other better.

PreRaceJitters: Can you describe a typical training session at FSU this time of
year?

Maurice Mitchell: During this time of year, we pick up the intensity. Because
regional and nationals are right around the corner, we are now beginning to pick
up our tempo in our practice sessions. Coach Ken is getting us ready to run fast
when it counts.

PreRaceJitters: What are your goals for the remainder of the season?

Maurice Mitchell: My goal for the rest of the season is to obviously continue to
get faster and better as we get close to the end of the season and stay healthy.
I’ve come to realize I can’t run fast if I’m not healthy. If I can stay healthy I’m
sure ill be able to beat my 10.03 and 20.19.

PreRaceJitters: When you’re away from the track, what are some of things you
enjoy doing?

Maurice Mitchell: I just enjoy relaxing and watching tv, watching moves,
spending time with my fiancé and teammates on occasions. I just do whatever to
keep my mind off of track most of the time.

PreRaceJitters: Do you get pre-race jitters? If so, how do you overcome them?

Maurice Mitchell: I definitely get jitters, but for me I just pray and ask God to
keep me calm, and it works for me. I mean I get nervous but God does help me
get through my nervousness and also listening to music before my competition.

PreRaceJitters: Thank you for your time and best wishes on the season.

Sub 10 Second Tuesday - NC State Assistant Coach Terry Reese

Once a professional hurdler, Terry Reese is now making a living coaching the sprinters and hurdlers at NC State.

Reese, who finished sixth at the ‘97 World Championships in Athens, Greece has built a sprint/hurdle core in the Wolfpack land by recruiting athletes overlooked by other programs and have the desire and will to develop into elite athletes.

One of his prized pupils is sprinter, TJ Graham, one of the fastest sprinters in the ACC and NCAA. Graham has turned in times of 6.62 (60m) and 20.79 (200m) this season.

PreRaceJitters, caught up with Coach Reese to discuss his star-studded athlete and the NC State program.

PreRaceJitters: Talk about the 2011 season a little bit. What’s different about this team than previous squads?

CR: One name, TJ Graham! Is what’s different about this team compared to the past 2 years of him being at NC State playing football. In the past we’ve gone through cycles of being assisted both in the sprints and jumps by football players who we’re two sports athletes out of high school.

TJ was thought to be an immediate impact upon his arrival on campus but things didn’t work as initially thought. But after 3 years on campus we’re elated to have him join the team. We love what he brings, he brings a winner’s mindset as well as the ability to unite to give an individual sport athlete a feeling of it’s a team.

2011 Season we as a sprint core on the men side were and still expect some big things as a group with eyes set on being a contender for a top 8 finish in the 4 x 100m relay at NCAA Championships.

TJ Graham with the help of another football player Tobais Palmer a former NC HS 100m State Champion, Atolani Akinkuotu, school record holder at 60 meters, returns after graduating to use his last year of outdoor eligibility, Ben Major, a 400 intermediate hurlder who is evolving into more of a 200 meters specialist.

At this point of the season we simply want to stay healthy and continue to focus on those things that will allow each of these individuals to maximize their abilities in an effort to come together as a unit and in their individual races.

PreRaceJitters: Which of your athletes was the biggest surprise in terms of performance this season?

CR: Daniel Fretz (sophomore), a 400m runner who was not recruited who didn’t break 50 seconds out of High School. In his second year, he made the finals of both the indoor and outdoor 400m dashes at ACC Championships. He’ll finish his sophomore season early after an off the track injury. Personal best of 48.17 the week before ACC Outdoor Championships.

PreRaceJitters: TJ Graham ran 6.62 and 20.7 indoors in the 60 and 200 meters respectively after coming out from football and then scored points in the 100 meters at ACC Outdoor Championships in the 100 meters, running 10.37 seconds. How much of a boost does Graham give to your sprint squad?

CR: Unity, losing is not an option mindset, aggression, leadership and a focus. Outdoor season his presence was missed greatly. The week after NCAA Indoor championships he had to return to football for spring practice and it showed in his performance at Outdoor ACC Championships.

Only 3 days on the track before putting on his spikes against a few of the nation’s best aka FSU sprint squad. He jumped right into the fire and did what he could.

So I look forward to the weeks leading up to NCAA East Regional to regaining that momentum we had going during the indoor season. It’s been amazing to see how well he’s performed after 3 years away from the track. It can only get better as he return to the form of a track runner.

PreRaceJitters: Ben Majors ran 22 seconds in high school and during the indoor season earned all conference honors with a 21.0 second 200 meters. How were you able to build the sprint/hurdle core at State? What challenges, if any did you face in the process?

CR: Fall training is where I usually find out what each athlete is capable of and in the case of Ben Major. I simply saw some things he did that had me saying to myself. He’s in the wrong event. Although we’ve pretty much put hurdling on the back burner it’s not totally ruled out.

There are those things he does that are natural yet there’s those flaws that are there we’re still working on correcting that will make a big difference on him being a 21 flat sprinter a sub 20.5 sprinter.

As far as building a sprint/hurdle core, getting my hands on an athlete who’s developing whether it’s a recruited athlete or a walk on. A high percentage of the time I won’t get a TJ Graham unless it’s through football, something that’s been historically the case here at NC State.

PreRaceJitters: What has been the focus of your recruiting for next year?

CR: As a sprint/ hurdles coach the focus yearly is simply getting your hands on talent, no matter where it will come from. Be it a short/long sprinter or a short/ long hurdler.

Being a former hurdler, I’ve gone far too long without an opportunity to coach the event I spent a lot of quality time in as a athlete on the elite level, so I would love to find a hurdler I can share what I know with.

PreRaceJitters: How would you define your coaching philosophy.

CR: Not sure how I’d define my coaching philosophy… but it centers around hard work done the right way will produce results. And I’ve defined ‘Hard Work’ to my athletes with my own acronym for the word SPEED (sacrifice, perseverance, energy, effort, and determination)

When you set goals for yourself you have to make sacrifices. When you feel like you’ve met your challenge, you need to persevere and find the energy from within and give it your all.

When you put the effort into the task at hand, you’ll find that it wasn’t as hard as it looked in the beginning. Not all work is easy, but through your determination to be the best you can be, Good things will happen for you.

PreRaceJitters: Can you take readers behind the scenes a bit and explain what happens during a typical week in season this time of year with North Carolina State?

CR: we’re about 3 weeks away from the NCAA qualifier round East Regional and we’ve already had our conference championship. So there’s been some down time workout wise to allow for recovery.

After observing how my athletes competed at our conference championship, it has given me a chance to see their strengths and weaknesses and a plan of attack so to speak to prepare them for national completion.

For example, I have a short sprinter who is still trying to find his rhythm, as well as being patient through the phases of the 100 meters. So we will take a day in which he’ll do some race modeling both in flats and in spikes.

Follow it up on another day with doing some over speed training, followed by race modeling on the clock through 100 meters at high intensity. Block work on the 1 or 2 days out from competition.

PreRaceJitters: Talk about one of your favorite drills to run as coach over the years.

CR: Any of a number of hurdle drills to help increase strength and mobility. As a hurdler who jumped in high school and college. I love how being both a hurdler and jumper help me develop strength and coordination.

So as a coach I took it upon myself to apply a lot of those principles in my coaching of all my athletes whether they ran short or long sprints.

PreRaceJitters: You competed professionally after college. What is the best advice you’ve given based on your experiences as a former professional runner?

CR: Simply putting in work. Making it a habit those things that will benefit you as a runner.Success didn’t come easy and it was my work habits that had given me an opportunity to live the dream I had for myself as an athlete.

PreRaceJitters: How would you describe yourself?

CR: Quiet and reserved, love keeping my distance while observing everything off and on the track. I have one of the biggest hearts and I probably don’t put as much value on what I have to offer as I should because I enjoy sharing what it is I know to help others.

PreRaceJitters: What are the best and worst aspects of coaching?

CR: Being in a position to help others achieve and even surpass goals they have for themselves. Coaching puts you in a position of teaching on so many levels that will have an impact on another’s life long after they left you.

Downside, feeling like you didn’t do enough to help all that crossed your path. But I wouldn’t change a thing because I have intentions to do right by anyone who will put trust in what I’m asking them to do.

PreRaceJitters: Thank you for your time and best wishes on the season.

Track & Field Used To Be Big…

Track and field was mainstream now it’s….soccer.

It’s a reminder.

As the old school hip hop lyrics go…”back in the days when I was young, I’m not a kid anymore. But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again.” No less than a decade ago, track was still a big deal in this country. In fact, I think back to the days when soccer and track were pretty much at very similar levels.

Recently fans draped themselves in U.S. flags, congregated at bars and have pretty much toasted the national team’s efforts. Sports fans of any persuasion including yours truly watched the matches with great anticipation.

It was a nerve racking affair.  Would Team USA win the match and move on past Algeria? Athletes delivering gut-wrenching performing, making sick moves in the nick of time.

Does it make track fans miss 1996?

Track and field once commanded the sort of attention that I could talk to most anyone and they knew would held the world’s fastest man title. Back in the day when Michael Johnson was flaunting his gold shoes on Jay Leno.  Carl Lewis earning his ninth Olympic gold with signs of gray in his whiskers. People came to the water cooler to talk about Gail Devers hitting the track just inches before the finish line.

The fact is however that I can not think of scenario that track and field captures the nation’s attention again.  In 2008, Olympic television coverage shifted to swimming and gymnastics while track failed to dominant headlines for even a week.  That is despite Boltmania sweeping the 400 meter oval.  Everthing went right. All of the ingredients for a perfect story. An athlete little known outside of the die-hards moved from the background just in time for track, Jamaican and quite honestly the United States. Boltmania provided a temporary energy boost but I can’t see a track event that draws millions to Twitter like has been seen during the World Cup.

Track was once mainstream at least every four years and as soccer is now.

What happens if Bolt is not in a race or even gasp he retires?  It will happen at some point.

Another thought is that maybe the answer does not lie in winning over more bandwagon mainstream fans that are track fans every four years. And instead catering more to existing die-hards.  We have niche fans that follow track and field regardless of the headlines. Track remains one of the world’s most popular sports because of it’s accessibility.

Is this real talk? In an age when colleges are slashing budgets and shuttering track and field programs faster than Usain Bolt can dance hall the 100 meters. Most everyone grows up running. It’s built into the country’s dna.

Track is the old school hip hop joint that you love. You want everyone to know about the cut. But in reality if million immediately flocked to the group you probably wouldn’t like the group quite the same if they

Indiana Sophomore to compete in Big Ten Indoor Championships this weekend

By Jeremy Rosenthal, IUHoosiers.com feature writer

In seventh grade Chelsea Blanchard had doubts about being on the track and field team, since running around in circles appeared very boring.

Seven years later, Blanchard now holds the fifth-fastest time in Indiana school history in both the indoor 3,000-meter run and mile events.

In middle school, the Fort Wayne, Ind. native first wanted to be a cheerleader, but her father stepped in and offered his advice.

“He knew my personality probably wouldn’t mesh with that,” Blanchard said. “He had run in high school a couple years and thought that would be a better fit.”

It turned out he was right.

Blanchard said her dad forced into cross country in junior high school, but she had a lot of fun at practice, which would often consist of running around and playing tag with her teammates. She fell in love with the sport and continued to compete in cross country and track and field throughout high school.

When she graduated from Carroll High School, Blanchard departed with school records in four events, including a mile time of 4:58. She was also ranked in the top-10 academically.

Despite her great success in high school, initially the thought of running in college seemed a little daunting for Blanchard.

“I thought going to college where it seems so much more serious wasn’t going to be that same sense of fulfillment, but I just love it,” she said. “Everyday we come to practice and everyone on the team is wonderful and everyone is so different. It is a nice dynamic.”

In her first year as a Hoosier, Blanchard was thrust into being one of the top girls on the cross country team. IU head coach Ron Helmer said she put in more work in her first year then any other freshman he has coached.

IU assistant coach Rebecca Walter said Blanchard worked very hard and put in consistent training, but that the program is one that takes time to see results.

“I think she handled it very well,” Walter said. “It is showcased by how well she is performing her sophomore year.”

In her freshman year Blanchard placed 33rd at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional. Her second time around she earned All-Region honors with a 14th place finish.

After a solid performance at the Regional meet, Blanchard and her teammates received a bid to the NCAA Cross Country Championships for the first time since 2004. Blanchard said it was an emotional high and felt like everything was right in the world.

In a rollercoaster of emotions the women’s cross country team finished a disappointing 31st at the national meet.

Blanchard said it was a stab in the heart, but she tried to find a positive from the experience.

“It seemed like everyone was thinking how did we let this happen,” she said. “It’s one of the worst feelings in the world and you never ever want to feel that way again. It was good for us because it was like ‘what do you want to do and how are you not going to let this happen again?’”

On the bus ride home Walter said Blanchard showed signs of maturity by asking what she could do to improve and really listening to the answer.

So far the improvement has been fairly obvious in the indoor track season. A year ago Blanchard ran a personal best time of 9:51 in the 3,000-meter run. At the Tyson Invitational this season she won her race in an NCAA provisional time of 9:24. Walter said she thinks there is still more room for improvement.

“I think her improvement is not going to stop anytime soon, now that she has everything in place,” Walter said. “She has stuck with it long enough that it is going to pay off.”

In addition to her athletic talent, Blanchard brings a vibrant smile to the track everyday and is described as fun to coach.

“I think she brings a lot to the team,” Walter said. “One of the big parts of the way we want to build our program is, it’s not just about your athletic talent, but it’s the way you go about your business. If you look at workouts as being an opportunity to have some fun and leave it on the track, and I think she has really embraced that this year.”

Outside of her sport, Blanchard is pursing a degree in visual art education and would someday like to be an art teacher. She said her art teacher in high school, Mr. Kilmer, who also used to coach cross country, is a close friend and thought she would enjoy running.

Even though Blanchard has a chance to earn individual accomplishments, she is most excited about this weekend’s Big Ten Championships because she gets to share the experience with all of her roommates. Joining her will be fellow runners Helene Delone, Breanne Ehrman and Kelsey Duerksen, marking the first time that the four roommates will compete together at a Big Ten meet.

For someone who thought track and field would be a boring sport, Blanchard is enjoying it greatly and is a leader on the team.

“She has grown really nicely into a leadership role,” Walter said. “I don’t know if she even knows that yet, but I know a lot of the girls are really looking up to her now.”
