In fact Tiffany stated,  I have never taken any alcohol. She suffers from asthma and says she needs her body to be in tip top condition. Smoking and other harmful substances would only weaken her and make it harder to breathe.  When I'm competing, I need all the air I can get, how stupid it would be to smoke. <br>Tiffany is a great all-around person. When I asked her what the reason for her success was, she responded by saying,  God is the reason for my success. He gave me a good family that taught me strong morals and to keep my body healthy; keep the engine running clean. I like to use my running ability to help bring others closer to Him. <br>While talking about goals with Tiffany she said,  I'm always resetting my goals. I was taught when I was young to always set goals for myself. It gives me something to strive for, and once you've achieved that goal to reset it and not just be satisfied with that. Always look to be better. I want to get better and make it to the Olympics in 2000. She wants to improve her score in the heptathlon to somewhere between 6500-6600 points. Her best so far is 6211 points. She and her coach, Craig Poole, both felt she was capable of doing it this past year had she not pulled her hamstring.<br>Tiffany graduated from BYU with a 3.1 GPA and received her degree in Recreation Management, in August 1998. Tiffany is now working on becoming a professional track athlete but finds it difficult because she currently does not have a sponsor. Unlike most other sports, where the athlete just signs a contract, track and field athletes must find sponsors to support them. In the meantime, she works in construction for her brother's business.<br>We would like to thank Tiffany for her hard work and good example. Continue to work hard and we wish you the best of luck. Go get it!A Championship. Last year, USM finished in sole possession of the Conference USA Crown, defeated Pittsburgh 41-7 in the Liberty Bowl and had a final national ranking of No. 19 in both polls.<br> Coach Bower stated,  I think we've improved a lot. We are getting kids like Adalius who want to work hard, want to get a good education, want to win and want to be unselfish. We have a solid nucleus of players who represent our University in a first class way.<br> There are only five programs in Division I-A who finished in the top 20 in football who are also in the top 20 in graduation rates. The University of Southern Mississippi is one of those teams. I think that says a lot about our program and where it is. <br>The Golden Eagles field teams in 16 intercollegiate sports. Roberts Stadium (football) seats 33,000 and Reed Green Coliseum seats more than 8,000. New facilities are in the works which include construction of a brand new field house and strength/conditioning facility.<br>  It is something that is long, long overdue, said Coach Bower,  and we're finally able to do it. It will especially help us from a recruiting stand point; it is going to make us much more competitive. <br>Coach Bower was also a great player and set many passing records at Southern Mississippi. Most of those records are now broken. Bower coached Brett Farve (1987-90) and Reggie Collier (1979-82) who were two QB's who broke his records. However, he still holds the USM career mark for completion percentage with a .549 mark.<br>The formation of Conference USA has been a good move for Southern Mississippi.
