Track
shines at Raleigh Relays:
At the rate the Appalachian State University track & field programs
are going, they will be storming to the regionals like their name
is El Nino.
A week after Ernest Wiggins, Bob Smith and Anthony Greer all posted
qualifying times for the NCAA East Regional, Ronda and Tondra White
qualified at the Raleigh Relays, hosted by North Carolina State
University.
Ronda jumped 42-4.75 feet in the triple jump and finished second
in the competition. Tondra reached 40-4.25 feet to place sixth.
Marivi Mercado established a new school record in the women’s
3000-meter steeplechase, with a time of 11:39.94. She finished eighth
in the event, held last weekend.
The Mountaineers will run again this Saturday at Clemson University.

It’s a family affair for Bob Smith every day when he comes
to practice.
Smith, Appalachian State University Track & Field’s top
thrower, is married to his coach, April. Their 9-month-old son,
Andrew David, is with April at practice each day.
Bob and April met each other while at Chadron State College in Chadron,
Neb. Bob was the freshman trying to adjust to college, and April
was the graduate assistant in charge of teaching him just that.
”I think it was hard for him at first. It was obvious he wasn’t
used to a female coach,” April said.
