You can be inspired so much by their energy. <br>Lindsay majored in mechanical engineering.  I decided in high school that I wanted a degree in engineering so that I could pursue a career in prosthetic design. I figured that if I took an athletic scholarship, I would be forced to focus primarily on track. Engineering is a very difficult major, so my first thought was to find an engineering program that suited me, and then make my final choice based on the school s athletic program. Another important conideration was that my parents have always encouraged Brenda and me to pursue an academic career above all else, so when the opportunity to attend an Ivy League school presented itself, I couldn t even cosider another alternative. During my visit to Brown I fell in love with the campus and the people I met. It was the most wonderful environment I had ever been in---I felt so at home there. On my recruiting trip a student said,  Brown is a microcosm of what the world could be like if we could all just get along. Harvard students may lead the world, but Brown students will change it. The profundity of that statement astonished me, it has been with me ever since. <br>To help defray the costs of attending college, both Brenda and Lindsay were able to receive academic scholarships---which was an economic necessity since neither Harvard nor Bown gives athletic scholarships. Says Brenda,  I think the explanation is they re trying to attract people with diverse qualities and talents, and it would go against their principles for them to say they re going to give an athletic scholarship as opposed to a scholarship to ththe tennis coach. He immediately recognized the similarities to the skills needed for vaulting andBrenda excelled both academically and athletically at their respective campuses, which only goes to disprove the widespread notion that great athletes cannot perform equally well in academics. Brenda remembers,  Every year after spring break the Harvard track team would run in two meets in Houston. When inevitably we were asked what school we were from and we said Harvard, people would say,  Harvard has a track team? And of course whenever our Harvard athletes won their events, everyone was just shocked. <br>Although many superstar athletes would argue that academics interferes with their training, Lindsay says that the discipline that track and field develops, especially in regard to time management, can carry over to other aspects of life.  hx9IYiy*:JZjz ?2m*`d,k[F=W >AVbݺʒrOSo'S/ ^E6 FO.f>JK "Mu[UW`tWj6F,RL??1Cjq$sWf!mB2%*%J2MJ`d %,s b'`'ZbyX=0&Ju9S0Jܹ>'KH3ي['9UX>lм#)q(&(QK@ W cVWKv[tzʸDԒBhdnOϓ (bB2%C%ak^K.lmo.PMzl a8 )TO_=?CstWtqld U7!F=FMF&´M‚J aR%7φ7#?G6hG" #`۫)90mKM Oڋ_' *~^FiK\̱NhEʸ qD 0[i$)UR@O#:ybqp "OG< uʁٍ7 TS#CrfdRO % VӓJ1o`RByAnnyW~Yˈ7F8`6/6l'f͛vx?ݬӂy7 Vb;w1~tڤu0"vq2\Ȑ!20@:]FgAA1#Pi7&[mcO" c`w̸| (zS[Fzh_jY(nt;b7=F]O]ҟM9MwҞM9ͽ -{kSqa/?*o!z4I#uvM=D=~/4SJxs>《eoC(I/8jr ND[dr4eٷl 皵Ka-I#e }1?i~-KK\R3Q Rvch'LEx1\ AJIk̡wQ&|zT=a.Ji#1H%`nӖ)F +ϊM-=φ%#9|o1ܩȮ~EpWKgŻs kqvp͒?_Qns )Iׯ tb BV wE2J*ȷo,kf]"8 xdR5,~\UټըIKMQLGxnԯaE4Ԃf0~-+͓K;*$.Sԙb, if he felt the Sooners would be able to challenge for a Big 12 and national championshipin the next two years. Stoops told him yes, and Josh signed. <br>Oklahoma was noted for their running game and had only won 12 games in the preceding three seasons. Josh thrived on the challenge to co do like going to the movies, etc. I also believe part of leadership is being a good role model because tiny eyes are always wathing. <br> It s nice to have people around you who believe in you, asserted Conrad.  I am lucky to have such wonderful parents, family, friends and teammates. <br><br>Proper Perspective<br><br>The following is part of Conrad s valedictorian speech:  I the ancient Greek Olympic Games, the motto was enkrteutes, prosxairo, pera - faster, higher, further. It wasnot faster than every one else, higher than the rest of the competition, or further than anyone else.
