Base Camp Coding Academy to hold fundraiser

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

Base Camp Coding Academy will be organizing a fundraiser at Grit on May 4 that will include a four-course dinner under the stars followed by unique performances.

Base Camp is a year-long intensive program designed to train graduated high school seniors in coding and software development. By the end of the year, the goal is to have the students highly trained and in the Mississippi workforce, making a decent living and holding down a good job.

The camp holds class 40 hours a week in the newly renovated upstairs of the BTC Grocery in Water Valley.

Students participating in the program adhere to the strict schedule as another way to prepare them to enter a workforce that would require them to be present in an office every day, or at least keep up a regular work schedule.

Last year was Base Camp’s

first year in operation. The organizers of the camp didn’t really know what to expect.

Bethany Cooper is founding trustee of Base Camp. She and her colleagues set up the camp, put in the work and hoped for the best.

“We took 11 students in during our pilot year, and they have all exceeded our expectations,” Cooper said. “They have all landed jobs. They’re working at FedEx, CSpire and others. It’s been really exciting for us for this first year, going in and not really knowing what the outcome would be, but operating off of the success metric of just getting the students employed. When you’re launching a pilot like this, you don’t know how it’s going to go, so to see everyone get jobs and see them working at that continuously throughout the year, has all just been really amazing.”

Each participating student attends Base Camp on a scholarship. They’re students who didn’t have any plans to

attend college immediately upon graduating high school.

The purpose of the camp is to see that students like that have the chance to obtain gainful employment, when they otherwise wouldn’t have had the opportunity to do so.

The fundraiser being held at Grit is to ensure that the program stays funded and that Base Camp can continue to provide this education to a group of Mississippi youths every summer. Grit will be serving a full four-course meal on the lawn under the stars.

Cathead Vodka will be serving a custom cocktail special to the event. Each course of the meal comes with a unique wine paring and a jazz band will be playing throughout the dinner.

After dinner, the crowd will be led in an New Orleans-style second line to the Big Truck Theatre, which is in the process of a renascence. The theatre is made up of a stage that is actually a flat bed truck, with another stage, the main stage,

behind that. Former Dire Straits guitarist Jack Sonni and friends will be performing.

Tickets to the fundraiser are $250 a person or $1,500 for the VIP package that includes, four tickets, a special table, an after party with the band and more. All proceeds go to benefit the coding academy.

“We’re really investing in the youth of Mississippi and the future of Mississippi,” Cooper said when asked why she though this program was something worth investing in. “Coding isn’t going anywhere, and we’re not teaching it in the schools. We really see this as an opportunity to help students who weren’t on their way to college because we believe this makes a difference.

We believe we can change their lives.”

He was later deployed to Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom.

There, he was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division.

On August 15 of 2008, Carwile was killed in action after his vehicle was struck by an improvised explosive device. At the age of 29, he left behind a wife and two daughters.

Representative Trent Kelly sponsored the bill that requested the dedication be made. The bill had to be passed through both houses of the Mississippi legislature before being signed into law by the president. Kelly was at the post office Friday and spoke directly to Carwile’s two daughters, telling them that while he may not have known their dad person-

He went to school for a four-year degree and finished it in three years, as he worked for the Oxford Police Department and had two girls. That is very impressive.

That’s how driven he was. He was an awesome guy.’ ally, he knew what kind of man he was and that he loved his country and he loved them too.

Mayor Pat Patterson and President of the Lafayette County Board of Supervisors Jeff Busby spoke as well. Patterson, also a native of Oxford, has known the Carwile family for many years, generations of the two families having had interactions and friendships going back decades.

Dennis Carwile, father of the fallen, spoke at the dedication through tears to thank everyone for coming out and working to keep the memory of his son alive.

Oxford Police Chief Joey East presented Carwile’s father with a folded flag at the end of the ceremony.

East has known the Carwile family for more than

30 years. When was an intern for the County Sheriff’s Department, he spent a lot of time riding along with Dennis Carwile. He knew Carwile, who he calls Donny, when the younger man was still a teenager, working at Handy Andy’s when he was in high school.

“Donny was a very impressive young man,” East said, smiling fondly at the memory of his friend. “He went to school for a fouryear degree and finished it in three years, as he worked for the Oxford Police Department and had two girls. That is very impressive. That’s how driven he was. He was an awesome guy.” chaning.green@journalinc.com Twitter: @chaningthegreen

UM Architect goes over master plan

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

University of Mississippi Architect Ian Banner held an informal luncheon and information session where he talked to university community members about the master plan for the university and just a few of the sustainability issues it’s seeking to overcome.

The university began discussing the implementation of a master plan around 2005 and 2006.

They wanted something to serve as a general guide over the next few decades on how to properly expand the university and ensure sustainable growth. Everything in the plan is not intended to be set in stone, but rather just give everyone a general idea of what needs to happen.

The master plan for the university became official in 2009. Though the idea is to have everything accom-

plished sometime over the next 30 years. So far, the university has gotten a significant amount of the plan accomplished. Several of the new residential buildings as well as the Pavilion were major parts of the plan and were expected to take quite some time to become a reality, but were completed rather quickly.

Having a master plan ensures that the university is capable of coping with the projected growth the university will be facing and ensuring their ability to comfortably accommodate so many students. The way the master plan is set up now, it is projected to ad a total of 2 million square feet of usable space to the Ole Miss campus, without having to go off-site in order to expand.

There are obviously a lot of challenges to overcome when it comes to accommodating a sharp increase in the student population,

For every one acre of land converted into a parking lot, only 130 cars are able to park there, according to Banner. Meaning nearly an entire football field’s worth of land must be clear cut and paved in order to allow just 130 vehicles to park on campus.

When it comes down to the numbers of it, every single student, staff and faculty member bring their own vehicle to campus is

impractical from an infrastructure stand point, as well as environmental and safety concerns. Luckily, over the past several years, biking and the use of the O.U.T. buses have increased dramatically, and there has been a definite shift away from bringing cars to campus. The amount of parking in the exterior lots has increased, with people either using the park and ride lots or just bringing their bike.

But with more students walking and taking their bikes to class, shaded walkways and bike paths are a necessity. In the center of a parking lot on a sunny day, the temperature can well exceed 20 degrees Fahrenheit more the actual temperature of the day.

Concrete and asphalt reflect heat, and those walks can be unbearable. In this respect and in many others, adding more greenery to the campus becomes a practical solution to several problems.

Banner also pointed out that Lafayette County has some of the most easily eroded soil on the entire planet. He stressed that this wasn’t a hyperbole. He compared some parts of the campus talcum powder.

There’s also the issue of using campus drinking water responsibly. Banner said that in the month of July, the university’s irrigation system spits out two

Olympic-sized swimming pools worth of drinking water on the plants. What if instead, we used clean water that wasn’t quite up to drinking standards, but still nourished the flora of the campus and didn’t deplete clean water supplies? What about storm drainage?

What if there was a smarter way to irrigate the campus?

Banner said there are so many issues that come with expansion and general growth, but that there are also many solutions that must be carefully considered when looking at how to address those issues. The architect said that his office welcomes feedback from the public. Good ideas, bad ideas, opinions, likes and dislikes are all welcomed and will all be considered.

Shollenberger makes generous donation to OxFilm

BY CHANING GREEN NEWS WRITER

Jim Shollenberger served the University of Mississippi and Oxford art community for decades. Shollenberger’s dedication to film and theatre has served to inspire students and community members, even after his passing.

Shollenberger died last year. His widow, Leah Shollenberger, generously donated much of his film equipment to the OxFilm Society last month. The donations include a green screen kit, camera accessories, sound equipment and more.

The OxFilm Society is a film equipment rental service under the umbrella of

the Oxford Film Festival, which is under the direction of Melanie Addington.

She said that she was really moved by the donation.

Addington had known Shollenberger and his wife for several years. He was teaching at the university when Addington first moved to Oxford nearly 15 years ago.

“He was a great guy,” Addington said. “Leah’s wonderful too; she taught theater at a local school.

Both have always been very involved in the theatre and art world around here for years and years.”

Addington said she was moved when Leah reached out to her about making the donation to OxFilm. It was unexpected, but made

sense as the couple have been so supportive of Oxford arts for decades.

“Leah Shollenberger reached out and said she had been thinking about making the donation,” Addington said. “She said she was ready to start letting go of some of his things. She

wanted us to have it, and that was so nice. She could have given it to anyone. It really meant a lot that she chose us and that other people in the community can use that equipment now.”

Rene Pulliam worked with Shollenberger in the

Theatre Department until his retirement a few years ago. He was chair of the department when she was hired in the early 90s.

“He was great colleague,” Pulliam said. “He was always very honest and told you like it was, even if it wasn’t always what you wanted to hear. But he was usually right.”

Shollenberger was instrumental in bringing film studies the University of Mississippi. He first became interested in film because he saw a need for it in his students.

“He was a theatre person first,” Pulliam said. “However, he eventually realized that a lot of our students would go into film and not necessarily go into theatre

to make a living. He started training in film. He learned how to make films, edit them and he built our cinema program at the university.”

Pulliam said that though Shollenberger began learning the ins and outs of filmmaking so he could pass that knowledge along to his students, it was soon very clear that he’d fallen in love with the process. He pushed himself for the betterment of his students, but ended up finding a home in another art form.

UM student has passion for mission work

BY ZACHARY SHAW SPECIAL TO THE CITIZEN

Her voice is soft and southern. She is not one to start a conversation with a stranger on a bench, but if you were to strike up a back and forth with her you’d find out that her heart lies much closer to the equator than her hometown of Oxford.

Hannah Hurdle’s deep affection for the Central American country of Honduras shines through in just five minutes of small talk.

Growing up with a pastor as a father and an uncle who regularly did missionary work, it seemed it would be part of Hurdle’s genetic code to impact the lives of others. Waiting in the wings were the people of El Ocote, Honduras, and in the summer of 2015, her dormant internal ambition took flight.

“I learned a lot about myself in Honduras,” Hurdle says. “It’s become such a big part of who I am.”

A senior at the University of Mississippi, Hurdle is double majoring in English and journalism, and not waiting to receive her

diploma to start sharing stories with those who will listen. Hurdle’s passion for words is ever growing. She currently writes for two online publications, as well as adding to her own personal portfolio of prose and rough drafts.

She has also developed a growing knowledge of “silent verbal” communication, sign language. Aspiring to attend graduate school after her time at Ole Miss, her sights are set on obtaining a master’s degree in sign language translation and interpretation from the University of Louisville.

Hurdle hopes to add her years of schooling, her zeal for writing, and her joy for mission work into an everyday life.

Her tone is gentle, so you lean in when she speaks.

“It’s like all my passions came together.”

During Hurdle’s 2015 trip to El Ocote, her perspective on life became clearer. Her relationships with others and her smile for life amplified during her time spent with the native people. So much so, that the following summer she packed her bags and

UM senior Hannah Hurdle loves being of service to her community, but she’s found her mission work in Honduras to be the most fulfilling. headed back to where she calls her “second home.”

But this time, reality for Hondurans opened her eyes wider than the year before.

“My second time to Honduras was different because the first time I was experiencing everything for the first time,” Hurdle says. “The first time I kept thinking that it wasn’t that bad, but I knew that wasn’t right. I kept thinking ‘My heart couldn’t feel because my head couldn’t process what my eyes were seeing.’

The second time it all really sunk in.”

Honduras currently has the highest murder rate in the world. There are, statistically, only 0.37 physicians per 1,000 people in a country of almost 9 million, and over 60 percent of the population lives in poverty.

Compare this to the U.S., the physician density sits at 2.45 per 1,000 people, while close to 14 percent of Americans live below the poverty line. During her first visit, Hurdle was told by one of

the mission group’s translators “that the population is split into three groups.

About 100 families are rich, then there’s those in poverty, and then everyone else is miserable.”

However dark the nation may seem looking from the outside, Hurdle reinforces the goodness that shines through the Honduran people.

“They are some of the kindest, most loving people I have ever met. They have so much joy and a light in them that I’ve never seen in the United States… There is a depth and substance to them that people in America will never have.”

In her two trips with Grace Bible Church, and their mission partner, Salt and Light Ministries, Hurdle and her fellow volunteers spent a week attempting to improve the lives of the locals. The work included: building homes, hosting vacation bible school, men and women’s bible studies, clothing and food distribution, child abuse and women’s health seminars, as well as forming a kindergarten for the children in El Ocote.

Hurdle’s eyes look to

gloss over as she recounts the memories, as if she is transplanted in that moment back into the village.

“Trips like this, you expect to help these people, but they actually end up helping you. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without the friends I made in Honduras.”

Hurdle openly speaks of the continual anxiety that she faces. But when she speaks in conversation about a place she’s only been to twice, she sounds at ease. Her face is relaxed, carrying a slight organic smile while depicting the streets she walked and the children that she held.

It will be three summers in a row when she flies back to her beloved foreign home in July. Hurdle mentions that maybe one day Honduras will be a place she visits for more than just a few weeks in the summer.

A place that causes her anxiety to evaporate, a place where she finds friendship, a place where her passions might be calling her. A place that has crystallized Hannah Hurdle.

“I feel the most me when I’m in Honduras,” she says.

Camp Hopewell’s schedule continues to grow each year with a variety of activities for campers.

Camp Hopewell offers a little something for everyone

BY CODY FUTRELL NEWS WRITER

Local citizens hoping to get children into one of the many summer camps at Camp Hopewell must act quickly.

Allyson Ashmore, Camp Hopewell Director, says spots are filling up fast for the 2017 summer which marks the 68th year of operation for the facility.

“A lot of people think you can sign-up the day of,” Ashmore said “But a lot of sessions are already full so interested people should go ahead and signup sooner rather than later.”

Opening to campers in 1949, the camp is located five miles outside Oxford and is a ministry of The Presbytery of St. Andrew.

Ashmore and her husband have been with the camp since 2000. She was promoted to Director in 2012.

The camp serves children of beginning at six-years old. The camp schedule continues to grow each year and has a little something for everyone.

“We began with overnight camps and that has grown to day camps for younger campers,” Ashmore said. “Those day camps have added to the community. It has allowed us to reach out and get more people involved with Hopewell.”

Overnight camps typically are week long beginning Sunday and ending on the following Saturday.

Day camps begin each day at 8:45 and conclude

at 4 p.m. at a cost of $185 for the week. The biggest overnight camps range from $360-$560 per camper.

Ashmore said the camp is excited to offer an aquatic day camp this year for kids in fourth through sixth-grade.

That particular camp will focus on water sports, canoeing and kayaking and will take campers over to Tishomingo State Park.

The same age group also has a chance for the Treehouse Sherwood session that is now two different weeks because demand was high with the single session a year ago.

The camp is also well known for its camps with diabetic children.

“Diabetes programs is not something other

camps in this area do,” Ashmore said. “We will again host the 21 United Family Camp for those with down syndrome this year.”

Ashmroe says parents of all backgrounds and the campers like the camp

for its appeal of being far enough out of town but close enough to feel safe.

“We are 5.5 miles from Oxford but you feel like you are away,” Ashmroe explained. “Oxford parents love how it has that close by feel. Kids don’t

feel like they are too far away from parents and they are still able to experience new things. We feel it is a great asset to Oxford.”

Oxford celebrates Volunteer Week

BY JOHN DAVIS

OXFORD PARK COMMISSION

National Volunteer Week was scheduled to start out with a celebration at Avent Park. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans.

The annual Party in the Park event, coordinated by the Family Crisis Services of North Mississippi, on Saturday was set to be the kick off of many things planned over the next week to celebrate volunteers and the community coming together.

A total of eight events highlight the next seven days. The Lafayette County RSVP and Volunteer Oxford

will sponsor a Nonprofit Leadership Recognition breakfast on April 27 at the organization’s former office located on the Square as part of the events. The breakfast is invite only and it will recognize, and thank, those that give back so much to the area throughout the year.

“April is a month that always has special meaning to RSVP because of National Volunteer Week,” said RSVP Director Arledia Bennett.

“RSVP considers a person’s time to be one of their greatest assets. You have a limited supply of time with the volunteer opportunities we of-

fer through RSVP. We look at that as a treasured service to our community. We know that you can’t put a price tag on a volunteer, but if you could equivocate a dollar amount to volunteering, the average figure is about $23 per hour. These volunteers help build a stronger community and at the same time, volunteering keeps

them strong and active.”

The breakfast won’t be the only special treat for local volunteers. On Tuesday, some 50 volunteers will take part in a Mystery to a destination unknown.

The only thing that those who have signed up know is they will experience a up to enjoy a fun day traveling, eating and sightseeing.

Other events associated with the week include: Good Food for Oxford Schools Supply Drive, hosted by Volunteer Oxford, which will be held today starting at 9 a.m. until noon at Wal-Mart. All of the supplies donated will go directly to students who participate in growing gardens at the various schools. There will be a garden work day at the Scott Center on Monday at 2 p.m. On Tuesday, there will be a clothing and fresh food drive during the weekly Oxford Community Market. Also on Tuesday, the LOU Reads Spring Book Drive will be going on. Res-

idents can donate materials at the Lafayette County and Oxford Public Library, the Oxford-Lafayette Chamber of Commerce or the Powerhouse Community Arts Center. On Wednesday, baked goods from Sinfully Southern and Bottletree Bakery will be sold at Barnard Hall to benefit Dignity Period Oxford. That event will begin at 10 a.m., and run until 2 p.m. The fifth annual Gospel Choir Showcase will conclude the week on Sunday, April 30 from 3 until 5 p.m. That event will be held on the Square, between Oxford City Hall and Square Books Jr.

equipment has been tampered with by unknown individuals.

Steps have been taken by the OPC, including its administration and maintenance crews, to prevent the damage, as well as

protect residents from any injuries. Despite these measures, damage continued. The only option left was to completely turn off the power, essentially closing the park to skaters at sunset.

BRIEFING Partnering for Health and Hope Communicare will be holding a special event Saturday, May 6 called Partnering for Help and Hope. The event is held in

honor of children’s mental health awareness and will be held at the Ole Miss Intramural Fields from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be free games and activities for families. Everyone is welcome. For more infor-

Dominance in track started with the 2002 team at OHS Editor’s Note: This is the No. 17 Oxford story in a 40-part series highlighting the 20 most memorable moments in Oxford Athletics and Lafayette Athletics since the turn of the century. This story is a look back at the 2002 track season that resulted in the first state title for the Oxford Chargers. Former head coach Scott Kendricks reflected on the team that started a track dynasty that has now extended 15 years. This moment has been deemed one of the top in the past 20 years for OHS.

B

efore a team can become a program, a truly dominant program, there has to be a starting point.

In the case of the Oxford High Chargers, the 2002 boys were the ones that started a dynasty. Heading into the season, Kendricks knew the team had the talent to be great, but he knew more than talent was needed to win it all.

A season before winning their first MHSAA Class 4A state title, the Chargers were 11th in the team standings at the meet. Going from that finish, to first, was a surprise to others across the state.

For Kendricks, the turnaround revolved around the new track built with the support of then superintendent, Dr. John Jordan, and athletics director Johnny Hill.

“My first year to have track, we had the old cinder, dirt track. We had a lot of talent, guys like Kerry Johnson and Bennie Denton on the team as well as some great distance runners,” Kendricks said. “But we couldn’t put it all together because we didn’t have a complete facility. Over those next two years, Dr. Jordan purchased us the equipment we needed and then he and Johnny Hill decided they were going to renovate the football stadium and put us in a real, nice track in there. Having that track in 2002 was the thing we were missing. We could prepare for every event which was something we weren’t able to do in the first two years.”

Some of the other reasons the team took the next step, Kendricks recalled, were some new additions to the team like Jason Keller, a baseball and football standout who was the missing piece on the 4x100 meter relay team that won first.

Gordon Whitwell may be young but he hardly plays like a rookie. The eighth grader has done his part for the Oxford Chargers and coach Louis Nash on the tennis court this season.

Making an Impact

Whitwell has done his part for OHS tennis

BY JOHN DAVIS SPORTS WRITER

Gordon Whitwell does most of his talking on the tennis court for the Oxford Chargers. Whitwell serves a large role for coach Louis Nash. He is versatile and dependable. Not bad for any player let alone one who still has four more seasons to contribute.

Whitwell has been pleased with his individual play this season. He’s also been pleased with where the team was heading into the MHSAA Class 5A playoffs.

“I’ve gotten better over the past year and it’s good to know the team now.

I know who I’m playing with,” said Whitwell, who played mixed doubles with Amanda Lowery in the Division 2-5A Tournament recently.

Tennis is near and dear to Whitwell, who has been playing since he was 7. His uncle was a good player, OHS coach Louis Nash said, while his father, Quentin, was the starting quarterback for the Chargers and led them to a division title.

“It’s gone by quickly, a fast seven years,” Whitwell said. “I started out in Jackson at River Hills. I played several sports when I was younger, but now I’m just focusing in on tennis. When I started, I didn’t know it was going to be my sport. I do love tennis and being on the high school team makes it a whole lot more fun.”

Before Nash got to instruct Whitwell, he was a good player. Nash said that Whitwell is a lot like the guys that have come through the program in the past, or the ones that are seniors now.

“Gordon works at it. He works at it even more than kids of his age group and there are several in there that spend a lot of time out here (at FNC Tennis Center),” Nash said. “His technical ability was ahead of the other kids to begin with, and he’s worked on it. He’s maturing and he’s starting to grow a little bit which allows him to put more pace on the ball. He’s starting to move kids around a little bit rather than him having to chase all the time. Gordon is a good team guy.

He will play where you put him and play hard where you put him.”

On the court, Whitwell doesn’t try to do too much. He tries to keep the ball between the lines, content with his opponent to make a mistake.

Pontotoc blanks Lafayette on Senior Night; LHS takes 1-0 series lead over Yazoo City

BY BEN MIKELL SPORTS WRITER

The Lafayette Commodores ended the regular season on a sour note as they were blanked by the Pontotoc Warriors 15-0 in five innings Thursday night at the LHS Softball field on senior night.

Lafayette (9-13-1 overall, 6-4 in Division 2-4A) kept the game scoreless until the second inning.

Pontotoc (21-6, 10-0) led the inning off with a single and an error to put two runners on second and first base with no outs. Commodore pitcher Madisyn Cobbs induced back-to-back infield flies and appeared Lafayette was going to get out of the inning without any damage. Pontotoc then strung together seven consecutive hits to plate nine runs and take a 9-0 lead.

Pontotoc added two more run in each of the next three innings to pull away including home

“We had Red Smith and Chris Patton also on that relay. We had phenomenal talent, but we also got a couple of extra pieces that were missing,” he added. “Cyrus Wakaba came in and he picked up a couple of seconds a first for us. If you’re going to win a state title, you really have to win a couple of things on top picking up a lot of seconds and thirds

“I try to be aggressive sometimes. As long as the ball is coming in the court, I should be fine,” he said adding that he

runs from Bailey Moorman in the fourth inning and Makenzie Land in the fifth inning.

Lafayette had base hits from Camille Maine, Madisen Rainey, Gracie Tatum, and Julianna Ingram. Pontotoc’s Mary Kate Butler got the complete game win in the circle allowing no runs on four hits, no walks or hit batters, and had two strikeouts in throwing just 48 pitches.

Yazoo City As of deadline Saturday morning, Lafayette has a 1-0 series lead on the Yazoo City Indians after their 12-0 win in five innings Friday night in Game 1 in the first round best-of-three series of the MHSAA 4A softball playoffs. They were scheduled to play at Yazoo City for Games 2 and 3 Saturday starting at 2:00 p.m. with Game 3 to start immediately after Game 2 if necessary.

in things. We knew we were going to be good, but we just didn’t realize how good we would be until we had our first home meet.”

That first home meet included Tupelo, the top team in North Mississippi at the time. Kendricks recalled going to meets where they didn’t have great trophies, so he wanted some really good ones to give out now that they had a track and were hosting.

“We wanted to have

some classy trophies and I invited Tupelo, who was the best in the state, and I said I was going to have some really good ones that were going to look good on (Tupelo coach) Butch Ard’s desk. I wanted to get something he would never throw away,” Kendricks said. “Tupelo came over for that first meet and we crushed them. The trophies ended up on my desk. That started a string for us where we went 10 years at Oxford without losing

a home invitational event for our boys. That was the moment we realized that we can win this, I told that if they worked hard, we could win it. We got down to the state meet and wrapped up so many points, halfway through the meet, we already had it won.”

From that first championship win, the Chargers went on to capture seven more titles. They won in 2003 and then went backto-back again in 2006 and 2007. They also won the

2009 title before winning the past three seasons for a now total of eight.

Kendricks still volunteers with the program, coaching the pole vaulters. Two of his former assistants, Patton and Chris Bush, are running the show now, and doing things mostly the same way Kendricks did.

“They do so many things really, really well.

They connect with kids well. I noticed a lot of the same things I did they still do and I asked

why they still do it that way and they said cause it’s the best way,” Kendricks said with a laugh.

“They’ve taken a few things that we did as traditional things and philosophical things and they added some cool things of their own. They kept that tradition of strong coaching going, and that is really the key.

If the coaches are prepared enough, we get the talent here at Oxford. We should always be in the hunt.”

plays on his own when the team isn’t practicing or competing. “I like to look up to Roger Federer. He’s just fun to watch and a great contender.”

In matches, Whitwell is serious compared to practices when he is

more animated. The best match he has played this season came in a tournament against Ocean Springs. Whitwell played singles and liked the results he earned.

Nash added that if Whitwell continued

to work hard in practice, and think his way around, he was going to be really, really good.

“He’s good now, but he has a chance to even better,” Nash said. “He has a way to go but he can play with the big guys.

You can put him in bigboy doubles and he can hold his own. He’s a likeable guy and he hangs with the older guys. That will help him because he plays with the older guys.”

When it comes to

talking about winning another team title, Whitwell said he didn’t feel pressure.

“We just have to defend the title for as long as we can do it. If we don’t, we’ll try to get it the next year,” Whitwell said.

Lafayette softball seniors were honored during their game with Pontotoc.

Running Rebels

Ole Miss boasts pair of top-20 teams

BY PARRISH ALFORD DAILY JOURNAL

Sometimes being odd means self-esteem takes a beating.

That’s not the way Craig Engels sees it, though.

The junior distance runner for the Ole Miss track and field team, Engels ran the nation’s second-best time in the 1,500 meters last weekend at the Mt. SAC Relays in Torrance, California.

A N.C. State transfer, Engels clocked 3:37.75, finishing second out of 277 runners. Tulsa’s Josh Kerr won the race with a time of 3:35.99.

The Rebels compete at Auburn today and tomorrow.

“I look to compete with the guy who beat me, the

No. 1 guy in the nation, at nationals. That’s when it matters ... for the team and the points,” Engels said.

With the SEC meet coming up at the end of the month both Ole Miss teams are ranked in the top 20 this week, the men at No. 13, the women at No. 18.

For the men, landing inside the top 15 nationally only means they’re ranked No. 7 in the SEC. The latest national coaches’ rankings includes No. 1 Florida, No. 2 Texas A&M, No. 4 Alabama, No. 5 Georgia, No. 6 LSU and No. 7 Arkansas.

Mt. SAC was a postage stamp of the season for Ole Miss with its strength showing mostly in the distance and throws.

“It’s crazy, the SEC is so deep in so many events.

We’ve gotten a niche here at Ole Miss where we’re more focused on throws, distance and pole vaulting,” Engels said. “It’s pretty cool to be different in the SEC, because most of those schools are sprints, relays and everything.”

A few season highlights for Ole Miss: • The SEC’s top scores with Brian Williams in men’s discus, Janeah Stewart in women’s discus and Raven Saunders in women’s shot put.

• Williams, a juco transfer, has placed first in the discus in three of four meets and was the top collegian in the fourth, Mt. SAC. His best throw, 61.13 meters, came at the Tennessee Relays and ranks third in the NCAA this season.

• Saunders’ season-best throw in the shot of 18.51 meters is currently No. 1 in the world. She was a Rio Olympian last summer.

• Engels currently ranks sixth in the NCAA and twelfth in the world with an 800 meters time of 1:46.96.

• Dempsey McGuigan is seventh in the NCAA in the men’s hammer throw at 69.45 meters.

• Stewart, a junior college transfer, has set personal bests in the shot, discus and hammer throw, ranking in the NCAA top eight in all three.

She credits her Ole Miss coaches with her development.

“They’ve helped me go from an average athlete to one of the top athletes in the NCAA,” Stewart said.

That’s what Ole Miss coach Connie Price-Smith, a four-time Olympian and coach of Team USA in Rio, would like to see for all her athletes.

“I would like to see us more well-rounded. I do feel like progress is being made across the board, that each area is continually getting better and better.

That’s what we’re striving for. I won’t say we’ll reach them overnight, but I think we’re headed in the right direction.”

PRICE IS RIGHT

Price was hired in July of 2015 as the school had self-imposed penalties for NCAA violations.

The Ole Miss job was a good fit after coaching 14 seasons at her alma mater, Southern Illinois, because

of the challenge of coaching in the SEC. “Coming in there was a lot of talent on this team. It was talent that wasn’t necessarily working, but it was here,” Price-Smith said.

She credits the athletes’ quick acclimation and trust of a mostly new staff as a big reason for early success.

Until depth improve Price-Smith and her athletes just want to do the best they can with the strengths they have.

“It’s pretty cool to be ranked No. 13, making Ole Miss proud,” Engels said, “even if that does mean seventh or eighth in the SEC. I think we can do a lot better than No. 13 at nationals.” parrish.alford@journalinc.com Twitter: @parrishalford
