My Friends in Track!
Besides my great gator friends, here are some of the wonderful people I have met along the track and field way!

Kristen Heaston is not only a great shot putter, but a nice person and a former Gator!

Not long after this I finally broke her Florida record in the shot and I am sure she was happy for me!:)

 

Lai Lai Crawford and I go a long way back. She is a very sweet person and a tough competitor!

Maybe we can be teammates again some day?


 
Karen Freberg and Connie Price-SmithConnie Price-Smith is certainly a 'legend' as an American thrower. However, every one who gets to know her can't help but love her!

Connie is now a coach at Southern Illinois University!

She is also a key person to know at all of the NCAA Championships!

Her husband, Mr. Smith, knows something about track,too! he he!

Laura and I have both red shirted a season our freshman years and this was Steph's Senior (5th) year. Laura was a Freshman indoors and a sophomore outdoors... and I was a sophomore indoors and a freshman outdoors! Interesting?

 
Donna and John Dye with Karen Freberg at National ScholasticMy dad says he didn't think there was life before 'Track & Field News'... and I certainly would add that John and Donna Dye have done the same for high school track and cross country! Karen Freberg, Janus Robberts, and Eva CharfreitagYeah...yeah... here's the big tease Janus Robberts!
