I love him. He taught me how to be a good person.<br> And Evangel? Oh, man. It s been my life since third grade. When you love something so much, it is hard to explain. The people, the friends, the teachers; it is an atmosphere like no other. A true blessing. I will send my future kids to Evangel. <br>Brock led Evangel to a Fox Sports National Championship and was selected as USA TODAY s Offensive National Player of the Year so he had his choice of Division I colleges. Brock chose the University of Florida, to be with Coach Steve Spurrier. Brock graduated early from Evangel and participated in Spring Football for the Gators. Spurrier said,  Brock is a lot like Danny Wuerffel, personalpound dumbbells.&nbsp; "I had a strong back from doing the old Jefferson Lift," remembered Oerter.&nbsp; "I used up to 450 pounds even at a young age."&nbsp;</P> <P>Oerter doesn't think that it is possible for an Upper Limit athlete to avoid injuries.&nbsp; "If you work at elevated levels," reasoned Oerter, "you must expect some injuries.&nbsp; You don't look for injuries but you must push yourself. &nbsp;That is the only way to become stronger."</P> <P>In Rome, Oerter slipped on a muddy ring in the preliminaries and ripped the cartilage loose from his rib cage.&nbsp; "That was devastating," remembered Oerter, "I couldn't sleep, eat or throw. It really hurt!"&nbsp; The doctors told him there was nothing they could do.&nbsp; But, Oerter persisted.&nbsp; So, the doctors agreed to try a method where they froze the muscle, taped it, gave him ammonia capsules and then hoped for the best.</P> <P>Since each competitor gets to keep their best throw from the previous days preliminaries, Oerter could have stayed in the top eight without over extending himself.&nbsp; However, he said, "I just thought about the four years of hard work and those 1460 days. &nbsp;I did not want to cheat myself."&nbsp; Then during finals each competitor was allowed three throws.&nbsp; But because of the excruciating pain, Oerter decided to make the 2nd throw his last.&nbsp; "So," tells Oerter, "on that second throw I gave it everything I had."&nbsp; He threw an Olympic record!</P> <P>When asked about the struggles experienced in training for the Olympics, Oerter replied, "Barriers in life happen all the time.&nbsp; You have got to step it up.&nbsp; If you back down, you never learn anything about life or yourself."&nbsp; Later in his career Oerter did have Olympic coaches who would really push him but he always knew it was to make him better.</P> <P>Al Oerter was also a great success in the business world. Ironically, he worked with computers and advanced technology. Currently, Al Oerter is living in Colorado.&nbsp; And he is still a lean, but powerful 260 pound man.&nbsp; Although he is retired, he stays quite busy as a motivational speaker for a variety of corporations and as a husband, father, and grandfather.</P> <P>We thank Al for the opportunity to tell his story......................... </P>stands out in. <br>Lindsay and Brenda 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.  *[ѸU#FAn uQNn$ - @-ڸ k[@gjpҊa{mVQH;! # TTyiҠщܩ)bt;\$~U--yV*؅[jsFܯ-2cei3E߭ۮu3xpLL+$dEUSU/*”,OCA Li݅.Ӣ_.Fn7Ċ"2xP+]GgV%GJ:^9 cʊ3쬀{Ͽ@67ryX^F,Oh$|Ԓ[Ҷ{Bnu^[t$"ŭ\C6`z(=77@`  kgMOMi.#QDކ4&r}Zb2ϊozEeVp,I뤦,'ceD&"8n_9~6;CnN ͢k*ҚlP$t N"˅i0vF*5VP 4=Ty+L樥MhkTy[a6@/8QſZ[387Bo ^_`|~Yk}Iaz!6)~5BoyF7꾃@BOc;t
