Athletes have double the skill
Dual sports offer heightened ability
Bv Mike Miller
Kansan sportswriter
Winning last week at the Kansas State Triangular meet established Eric Patterson as one the top hurdles in the Big 12.
Tywanne Aldridge ran two weeks ago at the Michigan Quadrangular meet and exploded off the line finishing second in the 200-meter dash and third in the 60-meter dash.
Both athletes have placed in the top four in each of the last three meets.
But for Patterson and Aldridge, they spent their fall somewhat differently than their teammates'.
As dual-sport athletes, they have what coaches desire: ability, determination and speed to burn.
They played football.
Patterson came to Kansas from Long Beach, Calif., to play split end for the football team. An All-Conference hurdler in high school, he came to Kansas in part because he was told that he would be able to run track as well.
"Most schools wanted me to choose a sport. But I love track. And I think that they really go well together," Patterson said.
The similarities are evident to track coach Garv Schwartz as well.
"Football and track are an ideal mix. There is a benefit of additional stretching and speed development for football that track provides. Track, on the other hand, gets a guy that becomes more aggressive." Schwartz said.
A Lawrence native, Aldridge attended Shawnee Mission West High School, then chose to go to Baker University to play football and run track.
"I was better at track than I was at football, so they were kind of leery of that at first." Aldridge said.
He broke the conference record in the 100-meter dash with a time of 10.5 seconds and was an NAIA national finalist that year. Aldridge
then came to Kansas as a transfer student in the fall of 1997. He was a walk-on for the track team last year and then tried his luck at Division I football, trying out for the Jayhawks.
"I think that his aggressiveness impressed the coaches and it resulted in some playing time," Schwartz said.
Aldridge made the team and played in six games. In special teams play he performed well, recording eight tackles — four solo—and a forced fumble.
Track and football are a natural fit for speed improvement, said assistant football coach Dick Moseley.
"The downside is that they do miss spring practice." Moseley said.
So far, the track team has been reaping the benefits. Patterson and Aldridge have accounted for
no less than the nine team in each of the last three meets. With three more meets until the Big 12 Championships in Manhattan, Kan., they have plenty of time to work towards their goals.
Both teams
Both want to qualify for the N C A A Indoor Champi onhips March 5-6.
"The satisfaction I get from competing and winning is what I love about track," Patterson said.
Aldridge, agreed and said, "That is one of the things that I like about track. In football, it is a team game, but in track it is just you — nobody else."
Aldridge also said he hoped to make enough of an impact to finally win a scholarship. After walking on last year in two sports, he said he hoped
to win a scholarship in one of them.
Until then, he balances athletics and school with a part time job at Prairie Life Center in Overland Park. He works about 15 hours a week, mostly on Sunday.
"I get to play with kids, so that's not so bad. But it gets pretty hard to sneak in extra hours during the week." Aldridge said.
He tries to find time to unwind,
but for Patterson, he said his free
time will come later.
"Track has really helped me with my focus. I'll warm-up, listen to some DMX and get ready to go," Aldridge said.
Staying busy all year is part of the appeal for these two athletes. After one sport is finished, training for the next one begins.
"It's not really that bad training all year. There's always an incentive." Aldridge said.
Patterson, on the other hand,
said that he tried to isolate himself.
i that he tried to isolate himself.
"I get by myself and mentally prepare, Patterson said. "I go through drills, then I pray.
I visualize the race, pray again and do my best."
The men's track team, after beating rivals K-Sate and Missouri last weekend, looks for more of its best in the coming meets. But Aldridge and Patterson's best may be given
every day with their time management skills.
"Today, it is very difficult for multi-sport athletes to balance everything. Handling track commitments with the academic requirements is a lot of work. It's fairly impressive," Schwartz said.
