Erwin said Beebe ran it exactly like a NFL combine, except the athletes used 185 pounds in the bench press rather than 225. <br>At the combine Richuel vertical jumped 34.5 inches, standing broad jumped 10 4 , ran a 4.48 forty (which was hand-timed by Don Beebe and included a 1.51 10-yard split), made a 4.61 shuttle, and bench pressed 185 for 35 reps. He also participated in a football skills event. At the end of the two days Richuel s scores were so outstanding that he was named the event s most valuable player.<br>Although some athletes would let such success go to their heads, Massey hasn t. Erwin says Massey is a mature young man with strong moral values.  Richuel is very humble, says Erwin.  He s a great Christian who loves the Lord---he even has a Bible in his locker and I ve seen him witnessing his faith to his teammates. <br>Massey does well in academics, scoring 21 on the ACT, and he definitely plans on going to college to pursue a degree in engineering. Although he hasn t made any firm commitments and says,  I just want to play, Massey says his favorite schools include Texas, Alabama and Florida.<br>As Massey goes into his senior year, there will be a lot of pressure on him to continue t뗖RI5<4WVrrjRv˻gYB޽hfwwv##n~n9*k Jo*##u'Ma&'T˂21IIK \ L-B8{ⳣY|G}7R!3+{FVs,,U 烑ҷ<-M{3X%BOIjueP|p};Ӡ-N5\9mޕ,i[%_(ܹFr)&gV}?Zt0[:?0#WkIK|0VʪNNDU>?4R==MϠ"XۓcD+6܁ފ\.Z0$*)۷SNi MfTnB9Er G+Qӵ1J8=f &5ZoJ}zCА|yx"@2#Bqkyi|,e'YUMu*)f<br> I can t explain what happened that day, but I realized I would have to be<br>totally prepared for any eventuality in the future, ays Dan.  It took a few<br>weeks, and quite a few calls from friends, family, coaches and other<br>athletes. Then I was back into training and totally focused. <br><br>Dan s effort paid off almost immediately. Although he didn t compete at<br>Barcelona, a few months later Dan entered the decathlon event in Talence, France. There he set a new world record 8,891 points a record that still stands today. For Dan, he had proven to himself that he had what it takes to be the world s greatest athlete. But the public only remembered the no-heighter. To truly redeem himself, and earn the title he so fervently desired, Dan knew he needed the Olympic gold.<br><br>Dan went on to win two more world championships before the 1996 Olympic trials came around. Once again, all eyes were on Dan, and the event they watched most closely was the pole vault.<br><br> I knew it was a big deal, says Dan.  But I wasn t worried in the least. It<br>was no longer an issue for me. I <br>wasn t even worried about the trials.<br> I had one goal; that was the gold. Not the bronze, not the silver. I knew exactly what I wanted and was counting the days to Atlanta. <br><br>He sailed through the trials. In Atlanta, he sailed through the decathlon, holding on to a steady point margin throughout each of the ten events. Dan became the first American to win the decathlon since Bruce Jenner in 1976. His only disappointment was that he did not break his own world record. That is a goal he is still working on.<br><br>Historic Parallels<br><br>For those who follow the spor
