danes05 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Coach Vives has built UA into a great track program. Imagine if the guy had some decent facilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statefan Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I voted "other" for Kelly Sheffield, feeling that an NCAA tournament victory trumps the other coaches' accomplishments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleedpurple101 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Losing the following athletes to graduation: Gered Burns - All-American, multiple conference champ Marc Pallozzi - All-American, multiple conference champ Robbie Freeman - IC4A champion, multiple conference champ Junior Burnett - 9x school record holder, multiple conference champ Justin Collishaw - 3x IC4A qualifier With the following conference champions, world junior qualifiers, and conference leaders hurt or on the sideline during conferences: Gabiy Lopez - Long jump champion 2007 Felipe Reyes - Long jump leader 2007, National HS Champion Freddie Wills - Decathlon, Long jump champ 2006, Triple jump, High Jump John Moore - 800 pan-am's bronze medalist Pat Weider - 3x defending 200 meter champion, 100 meters, Danny Avery - over half a second better then the rest of the conference in the 110 hurdles Joe Greene - run only 2 races all year Ricardo Estremera - 3k Steeple defending conference champion Michael Lynch - shotput runner up, discus runner up, hammer top 3 in 05,06,07 David Parker - Heptathlon conference champ, Pole Vault, High Jump conference scorer With all these people out, Roberto still coached the team to win the outdoor title by 32 points. Truly amazing. And yet again, they got snubbed for coaching staff of the year in the coaches poll. He has my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alum73 Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 After voting and looking at this list, I am really amazed at the quality of the coaching at UA. Dr. McElroy has done a fantastic job on hiring and keeping coaches. This is the major reason we've been able to accomplish so much with so little in the way of facilities. I can't help but think this athletic program will be truely special when we get the facilities it deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be in Eugene to watch and I'd like to see their events, if any. I'm heading out because my nephew qualified for decathalon (although he just blew out his elbow in practice and can no longer compete - Tommy John surgery next week ). He's a soph at Florida, so he'll be ready for 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
