Popping The Big One – University of Nebraska



More than a coach

 

Coach St. Clair is more than just a throwing coach. Really, he’s a mentor to me.

Not only has he helped my track career by getting me where I am today, but in my personal life, he has taught me how to be a better person and how to handle situations I never thought I’d be able to handle. It’s one of those relationships I can’t ever see ending, even when I’m gone.

I can’t see myself ever separated from him completely. 

We’re always going to be friends, and he’s always going to be someone I call on for advice.

I think my teammates here at Nebraska are starting to see what I see when they look at him, too. They’re finding out that he builds real relationships with his athletes.

And that translates in competitions.

My return to the NCAAs as a Husker didn’t end with me popping the big one, but I did post my best series ever in the weight throw. On that day, I was feeling very, very good about myself.

All of my throws were over 22 meters, and I ended up placing seventh overall in the competition. Of course, the main goal was to win, but honestly, there was nothing that could have prepared me better for that moment. I competed as hard as I could, and that’s all you can do on the day.

I was just glad to have the teammates and coach I did behind me.
