| Track- I really don't remember if this was as Kappa Phi or a Sigma Chi, but I was chosen to run the 440 yard (they called it a "dash", I would suggest "Crawl" would have been more appropriate. Some things you remember, like the pain in running 440 yards when you have not trained. The good news is when you are 20 something, it ain't gonna kill ya. You may think it will...After I ran the race, I was dying on the sideline when one of my dear brothers informed me to get ready that I had qualified for the finals. What???? I gave my all on that one and I have to run again?? Are you kidding me? The other bad news, I was to compete in the finals against some frat guy that was on the Lamar track team. The good news, he wasn't a 440 guy, but a distance runner. Oh, that was reassuring. I survived, finishing 2nd and I then was told that I had to run the low hurdles next. After finishing the 2nd in the 440, Ty Terrell (the Lamar track coach) approached me and suggested that I try out for the track team. I declined.What were they trying to do, kill me. I must have been a pledge or maybe just a dumb country boy. RETURN TO KAPPA PHI MEMORIES |
