Last week at Tulane

The conference meet went well but definitely could have done better. I started strong and finished strong. Placed third in the 100m then finished fourth in the Javelin with my best toss ever and broke 5 minutes in the 1500 for the first time. Ended up 8th overall and it was the third year in a row I was able to score at Conference. As a team we scored more points than we did last year. I went to Nashville yesterday to visit the Tennessee Titans offices and practice facility. I had blast visiting with all the Front Office and seeing Nashville. Got to meet with multiple people thanks to Mr. Reinfeldt. I received a lot of great information from all of them and hope to be able to take that to help in my career search. Family gets in on Friday for graduation on Saturday so looking forward to a nice weekend.

Last day of classes

I had my last day of classes and I am now only four finals away from getting my undergraduate degree. Its a good feeling but a strange feeling too. We had our end of year athletic banquet last Sunday and it went pretty well. I was fortunate enough to receive Field Athlete of the Year for 2011 as well as the Wilson Award. It was a nice honor to receive the Wilson Award since it is only given to one male and one female student-athlete based on athletic performance, academic achievement, and commitment to community service. Practice has been going well and my hip continues to stay healthy. I have also been in contact with career opportunities back in Texas that I am really excited about. God is great and there is now way I would be able to accomplish the things I have and the things I plan to do with out Him and the all of the other support I continually receive. My last final is on the 10th and I start competition on the 11th. Can't wait...
