- See Less -Even though he was a seven-time All-American at the University of Wisconsin, Matt Tegenkamp never could put together a full year of consistent training or he might have been a NCAA champ multiple times. Only one year after he graduated from Wisconsin, Tegenkamp rose to the top of US distance running. After years of battling injuries, the 2006 season was a dream season for Tegenkamp as he was finally able to put in consistent training. Persistent dedication combined with lessons learned during the Wisconsin years paid off big time in 2006; Tegenkamp opened eyes not only stateside, but all over the globe. After his 13:04 for the 5,000m in Stockholm, Tegenkamp can almost taste a sub-13 minute 5,000m. He also achieved his best 3,000m finish with a 7:34?..all of these during the summer of 2006.
I have a few suggestions:
--Learn more about lighting and sound. I didn't look at Kevin's commentary much because I couldn't see his face I skipped the first third of Shannon Rowbury's interview because I couldn't hear it well.
--Pay attention to the NCAA team competition, as well as the individual events & competitors.
--Cover one or two events from outside the US each week.
Thanks for asking!
But again, great job and I love the idea.
I watched Shannon win the CA state high school meet as a junior and knew that she was a quality talent. It's nice to see that she's also a quality person, as is Coach Tegen. It is sad to see him leave Stanford.
Shannon's great result was a surprise so I suppose she is hotter in the sense that she's on the rise?
Flotrack all the way!
