NJCAA gets no respect

Unread postby KYLE ELLIS » Sat Apr 17, 2004 5:23 pm

My coach has been recruiting lately in ks and any kid that runs a 10.9 or vaults 14ft think they are DI material. Everbody thinks JC is like junior varsity or something! All I have to say is that the fastest sprinter in the nation is in J.C. SteveMullings from Barton 10.05 at the Texas relays. He smoked all the DI men! There are some incredible men and some pretty bad men in the njcaa. But Barton, Central Arizona, and South Plains could give any DII, DIII, or NAIA school a run for there money. And I doubt anyone below DI can beat Barton! men or women....

Barton has sure produced some amazing athletes! My teammate Daveetta Shepherd went there, and Hyleas Fountain of Georgia went there.

If barton county could be ranked with other d1 schools, it usually would fall within the top ten every year. This is a fact. But Barton County is unlike any other jc in the nation. they in fact are unusual.

Before Blinn(dergarten) Junior College's track program was dropped to add women's softball (or soccer, I can't remember), they had won something like 15 straight national titles and the program had like 40 Olympians (granted, most of them foreign) as their alumni. They held most of the meet relay records at the time at the Texas Relays.

I belive Gregg West held their PV record with around 17'4" for the year he went there between SMU & TAMU.

They were best known for their sprinters, but they were an all around program. The coach was Pat Henry, who's now the women's coach at LSU.
