Personal athletic resumes

Ran a 5:40 mile as a freshman in high school and an 11:48 two mile in a road race as a junior.

Went downhill from there. Ran in college, but the competition was far too good. Also walked onto the baseball team for a small Division III school and was a .250 lifetime hitter. Good fielder, though.

 

81-yard touchdown run on the last play of the half in seventh-grade football for the only score of the game. It made me a junior high star -- for about three days. Peaked when I was 13. Oh well.

 

I've won a couple of open chess tournaments. I was scholastic bowl conference MVP in high school.

Did you choke in regionals?

 

Played as a reserve on a high school football team that was in the USA Today top 25 poll.

Four-time letterwinner in swimming on a horrible team.

Cut from baseball as a freshman. Played catcher on the JV team as a sophomore and sat most of the season until I finally got a chance and was 5-for-12. Actually once got called for a catcher's balk. Made varsity as a junior and was 1-for-3. Did not play as a senior.

Played club lacrosse at a major Division I school but the quality of play was poor. Played summer league outdoor and box lax in New York with and against a lot of DI kids.

Became a MUCH better athlete in college as I got bigger, stronger, and tougher. Probably a blessing as I likely would have gone to play something at a DIII school instead of just going to school at a major institution.

 

Sounds like conflict of interest to me!!!

 

Well how could you get more coverage when you refused to talk to the reporter tying to interview you?!

Part of a solid HS basketball team (five played college, two Division I). Sectional final. I am fully outmatched. My line: 0 pts, 1 reb, 3 fouls in 12 minutes.

Tie game. 63-63. Opponents ball. 11 seconds left. The coach sends me in with the sole purpose of drawing a foul on the inbounds play. (clean game and neither team in the bonus)

Amid the grappling of six players jammed up in the post on the inbounds play, i get tangled up and choose to take an exaggerated dive, flying ten feet out of the pile on my ass.

Whistle. Foul called on the opponent, a future Big 8/Big 12 player who scored about 17 on me to this point.

I come out of the game to high fives and applause.

Our ball. Our shooting guard hits at the buzzer. Ballgame.

And *I* was the guy carried off the court. Madness.

 

Played football in 8th, 9th & 10th grades but mostly rode the bench. Ran track in HS.

Played one year of JV baseball in college. Decent outfielder, couldn't hit a lick.

 

knee surgery and then a compound ankle fracture effing around at the dorm ended my baseball days as a college freshman. took up drinking beer at that point and was all-american at that.
