WHAT: NCAA Outdoor Championships WHEN: Wednesday - Saturday WHERE: ESPN networks
Sophomore Quanesha Burks didn’t know if she would be a jumper or a sprinter when she got to Alabama. In high school, she did both. She still does both, but only one – the long jump – has her as the No. 1 seed at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Oregon. “Last year, I really didn’t know what I was doing, but now that I have a better understanding from my coach [assistant coach Dick Booth], now at practice we can talk about it because freshman year, he would tell me things and I would just listen and I’d be like, ‘OK, I’m just going to do that,’” Burks said. “Now, I have a feeling, and I know what I’m doing out there, and I just
love the process of it and just to get the big jumps out there and to celebrate because I never thought I could jump how I’m jumping.” This year, she’s jumped as far as 21 feet, 8 3/4 inches which gave her a No. 1 seed in the women’s long jump at the national championships and a No. 6 ranking in the world. “Obviously, having Quanesha being the top-ranked long jumper in the nation, she’s really earned it,” head coach Dan Waters said. “She’s been incredibly consistent this year in her SEE BURKS PAGE 10

SGA President Spillers attends leadership summit in DC By Christian Elliott | Contributing Writer
SGA President Elliot Spillers attended the National Campus Leadership Council’s 2015 Presidential Leadership Summit on May 31 through June 1. Over the span of two days, 150 student body leaders from across the nation attended the conference discussing issues that face the modern campus culture. Spillers said he wanted to explore how he could incorporate his six dimensions of wellness (social, physical, emotional, financial, spiritual and environmental) with the main issues that were at hand at the Presidential Leadership Summit. “Sexual assault was the primary topic that we discussed, which is a national issue. It was great because we could see what other institutions are doing that are successful, and also we talked about issues that we have on our campus and how we plan to tackle them,” Spillers said. The Spillers administration is working on incorporating an It’s On Us campaign, which will promote positive awareness for sexual assault as well as create open forums for the student body. “It is a big goal of mine to tackle this with different spheres and with different leaders,” Spillers said. This ongoing problem is also an issue that hits home with Spillers, who has a close friend who was a survivor of

sexual assault. The beginning of the Spillers’ administration in the fall will coincide with what is known as the “red zone.” “Most sexual assaults occur within the first two months once the students return for the fall semester, and it is statistically proven,” Spillers said. Spillers said this is a major obstacle that he will be attempting to eliminate in the initial stages of his administration.
Regina Martel, communications administrator for the Presidential Leadership Summit, had this to say about Elliot’s upcoming administrative objective regarding sexual assault awareness: “The issues that are facing our generation are really difficult to try and tackle. We know that too many students on campus don’t feel safe. We know the statistics around campus sexual assault. We know that too many students don’t get help for any sort of mental illness and that suicide is the second leading cause of death among college students. That’s why it is so important to try and work together to come up with solutions. At PLS we’re able to connect the student leaders who can help shape not only what’s happening on their own campuses, but what’s happening on campuses around the country, so we can lean on each other and really start to drive the change we need to see on all these issues.” The topic of mental health was one of the crucial themes. In the previous year, four students from The University of Alabama died by suicide. “The way the SGA is going to tackle the topic of mental health is with the three-prong approach: awareness, education and how to sustain the efforts,” Spillers said. Spillers and Auburn’s SGA President,
William Byrd, also teamed up to share ideas regarding the matter. Auburn has created a program known as Active Minds, which is an organization to help with mental awareness. “Active Minds at Auburn is a studentrun organization that seeks to inform, educate and promote mental health awareness to the Auburn students and Auburn community through fundraising and outreach efforts,” Byrd said. In the upcoming weeks Spillers and the University of Alabama’s SGA will host the SEC-SGA exchange program. Universities such as Georgia, Missouri, Ole Miss and more will attend the conference, in which they will tackle issues effecting the campus culture within the SEC.

GUEST COLUMN | HIJAB
Hijab ruling protects worker rights By Sehar Ezez | Guest Columnist
Last Monday, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Samantha Elauf and against retailer Abercrombie & Fitch in an 8-1 decision. The case regarded Ms. Elauf’s inability to obtain a position within the company due to their “Look Policy,” which did not have a place for the Hijab, or headscarf, commonly worn by Muslim women. Abercrombie claimed that if Ms. Elauf needed an accommodation, she should have asked for one. However, the look policy was not explained to Ms. Elauf during the application process and her Hijab was not brought up during her hiring process. Consequently, Ms. Elauf proceeded to file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission which filed a suit against the company for violating Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act under which employers must provide “Reasonable accommodation without undue hardship.” Ultimately, the legal question at issue was whether employers have the responsibility to provide said accommodations without the employee, or prospective employee, having to ask for it. The Court ruled that employers do have a responsibility to provide that accommodation even if the employee does not ask for one. Justice Antonin Scalia delivered the opinion stating “An employer may not make an applicant’s religious practice, confirmed or otherwise a factor in employment decisions.” Ultimately,
the Court ruled that avoiding accommodation of a prospective or current employee is a violation of Title VII. It is important to note that this is not the only major breakthrough regarding religious expression in the workplace. In January 2014, our own military officially committed to accommodating beards and turbans for Muslim and Sikh servicemen after much debate as to whether or not refusing to allow them would jeopardize their first amendment rights. I, like Ms. Elauf, know all too well the pain of being denied a job because of my religion and ethnicity. I know the belittling feeling that accompanies being told you will never reach your dreams simply because you want to practice your faith. As a Muslim woman who wears a Hijab, who was born and raised in the USA, and grew up in a predominantly Southern Baptist town, my wearing of a headscarf is much more than a proclamation of my faith, much more than an expression of my constitutional rights, and much more than a scarf. It’s a way of life. The concept of Hijab is modesty, and that accompanies not just the way you dress, but the way you act, the manner in which you treat others and how you treat yourself. My Hijab is more than just my ability to practice my freedom of religion, it’s my ability to practice my freedom of speech. My Hijab is a part of my character. It’s how I chose to express
EDITORIAL BOARD Peyton Shepard editor-in-chief Kelly Ward managing editor
myself, and most importantly, it forces others to get to know and judge me based on my character and not my appearance. I and many other Muslim women, face the fear that reaching my dreams, in my case in the field of law, will be compromised due to wearing a Hijab, because just as in Ms. Elauf’s case, we along with other minorities are frequently denied jobs because we don’t fit the “atmosphere” of an establishment. What Ms. Elauf has done by challenging Abercrombie & Fitch is not just a victory for Muslim women. It is upholding the values that this country holds dear. My parents came to this country many years ago on the belief that no matter who you are, where you come from, or what your beliefs are, if you are willing to work hard and participate in this society, you will succeed. This country is not just a melting pot of ethnicities, but of ideas and values and innovations, and the most beautiful part of that is our ability to take the best ideas and make them even better. By expanding their interpretation of Title VII the Supreme Court has upheld our ability to continue this country to take in the best of the best workers and make the workplace even better. The Court’s ruling encourages us all to march forward to an even better America. Sehar Ezez is a senior majoring in history. She is a member of the Muslim Student Association.

When the University of Alabama Athletic Department and President Judy Bonner resisted hosting Tuscaloosa native Deontay Wilder’s title defense fight, they likely saw it as a potential logistical nightmare without much potential profit. Scrambling to prepare Coleman Coliseum and the surrounding area for multiple fights and a full Showtime broadcast is not easy. With an athletic department that seemingly has more money than God, one night of boxing wouldn’t be worth messing up the profitable basketball and gymnastics camps that were already scheduled for the practice facilities in Coleman Coliseum. It makes sense from a financial standpoint. What the University and President Bonner declined, however, was more than just the money. The attention and pride the event would have brought to Tuscaloosa is worth far more than a rental fee for the Coliseum. Tuscaloosa would be known for more than just Alabama athletics, at least for one night. The closing of music venues and restaurants on the Strip and elsewhere in Tuscaloosa is well documented. Had UA agreed to host this fight, Tuscaloosa would have once again been the place to be on Saturday, June 13th. Tuscaloosa is a great town, but when most people think of it, they probably only think of Alabama football. As a resident of Tuscaloosa, I want it to be a city where things happen. We know we have more to offer than football, and I want the rest of the country to know too. Beyond just the desire to be on the map, though, the Deontay Wilder fight would have brought economic interest to our businesses, restaurants, and hotels. According to The Tuscaloosa News, Showtime’s production staff alone would have used at least 235 hotel nights during our badly underpopulated tourism off season. For one night (and for once, not a Saturday night in the fall) the country would have been focused on Tuscaloosa. Instead, this opportunity drifted to Birmingham, just like other bands, restaurants, and businesses have over the years. Deontay Wilder, a hometown hero that is proud of Tuscaloosa and wanted to fight in the backyard where he grew up dreaming of boxing glory, deserved to defend his title in Coleman Coliseum. The citizens of Tuscaloosa and surrounding areas, too, deserved to showcase their homegrown hero on the world stage in the midst of their city. The city officials, the Tourism and Sports Commission and Wilder himself were all very excited about the prospect of holding the fight in Tuscaloosa. What better place could there be to host a title defense than Titletown? The University’s refusal to hold the event exposes a hesitance to put the city of Tuscaloosa in front of its own interests even when the drawbacks are extremely minor. The brusque and vague manner in which the University declined this fight, reportedly with a short response to the Tourism Commission and no direct response to Wilder’s team whatsoever, greatly concern me. The University grows as Tuscaloosa grows and vice-versa, so next time an opportunity like this presents itself, I hope the University makes the right decision.

Steroid usage in horse racing must be punished to protect horses
SStaff Columnist
Each year we don our biggest and brightest hats, pick the perfect tie to match our pastel suit, and we punch our tickets to Louisville, Baltimore and Belmont to watch our favorite horse have its shot at glory. On Saturday, 22 million other viewers and I watched American Pharoah become the first Triple Crown winner since 1978. However, as special as what American Pharoah just accomplished was, I seriously doubt that the horse felt the same elation as did his owner and jockey. Perhaps no other sport exploits its athletes to the same extent as thoroughbred racing. Witnessing history left me with a bitter taste. Not just any horse can be plucked up from the family farm and become a champion. Becoming a racing champion

regards to the frequency of horse injuries. I will grant that these statistics are promising; however, their defense of the sport that so willfully views horses as disposable is very weak. Pro-racing veterinarians claim that the injuries suffered by racehorses have allowed medical advancements in treating said injuries. One wouldn’t expect a doctor to break a child’s arm so that he could learn to fix it, so how does this explanation even suffice? I propose that stricter standards be mandated. Any owner who is caught d o p i n g their horses should receive a suspension from racing their horse. This way the horse could catch a break and the owner would be the one who is punished. It seems incongruent to me that some sports would openly allow steroid usage, while others

takes hard work, determination, eugenics, and steroids – lots and lots of steroids. Surprisingly, steroids weren’t even banned in horse racing until 2008. However, failed tests are still commonplace, and horses are allowed to intake steroids until 30 days before race time. These regulations are too loose. In addition to being given medications that will directly improve their fitness, horses are also loaded up with painkillers and stimulants so they can train longer and harder. I understand that it would be tough to be the first owner to stage a steroid-free horse. If everyone else is doing it, then it would be much harder to win. It’s reminiscent of the professional cycling debacle of the last decade. Proponents of horse racing will cite the improving statistics in

push to place anabolic perpetrators behind bars. With most professional sports leagues having a players union, there needs to be a person or group there to better stand up for the horses. While this column may play little into solving the problems that so many thoroughbreds face, we should at least take the time
to look past the pretty outfits and the mint juleps. Many of us witnessed history last weekend, and I hope that we can witness it again in the form of improved treatment of racehorses. Eric Roddy is a senior majoring in philosophy. His column runs biweekly.

Former Cuban Air Force General gives lecture at UA By Jake Warner | Contributing Writer
On Monday, June 8, attendees were treated to a lecture from former Cuban Brig. Gen. Rafael del Pino, who, according to Larry Clayton, professor of history emeritus, has the world’s best insight into the “workings, mechanics and psychology of Fidel Castro.” The lecture opened with an overview of the del Pino’s early life. He discussed growing up in the turbulent political environment of Cuba in the 1950s, reminiscing on learning to fly planes as a 15-year-old student, becoming inspired by democratic ideals and joining Fidel Castro’s “26th of July” movement to overthrow the thendictatorship under Fulgencio Batista. The latter ordeal saw del Pino arrested, and ultimately launched his military career in Castro’s regime. He recounted all the events which converged to make him one of a select few trusted fighter pilots in Cuba: Castro’s distrust and imprisonment of the old regime’s
pilots, the inability of civilian recruits and Chilean pilots to adapt to Castro’s measures, and his heroic actions during the Bay of Pigs incident. These ultimately concluded with del Pino being promoted to the position of Castro’s No. 2 advisor in the air force. Interwoven throughout the lecture were del Pino’s thoughts and analysis of Fidel Castro, whom del Pino described as a “maniac” and a “madman, fixated with war.” At this point, however, del Pino described in great detail Castro’s lust for war during the Cuban missile crisis. According to del Pino, Castro prepared a statement for the press which read, “We [Cuba] do not accept the agreement between the United States and the Soviets ... We have more missiles that we will use.” Said del Pino of the incident: “At this moment, Kruschev and Kennedy realized that the missile crisis was out of their control, and so they struck a deal to remove all of the missiles from Cuba.” Had they not, del Pino said, Castro would

have waged a war with the two most powerful countries in the world. It was at this point that del Pino realized the time, and said, “It is very difficult to cover 30 years history in one hour!” He
breezed through his works in the 60s and 70s, which included heading the construction and administration of a new military base and the investigation of a planehijacking epidemic, to arrive at his defection from Cuba to the U.S. in 1987. Del Pino said Cuba is moving in the right direction. “We can’t be afraid anymore of discussion and negotiation,” he said. “We must sit down and talk about the problems that face us and find solutions, instead of continuing to ignore them.” Describing some of the problems which need to be addressed – liberty, freedom of the press, a more open market – he said, is better to have an evolution than a revolution. “It was a very unique experience being in the same room as someone who worked beside Castro,” said Nick Riggs, attendee and visiting student from Murray State University. “I didn’t know what to expect going in, but I definitely gained a new perspective.”
UA student completes internship with Sen. Shelby in D.C. By Patrick Smith | Contributing Writer
Taylor Hardy, a sophomore majoring in accounting, recently completed an internship with Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) in his D.C. office. During her time in D.C. she conducted legislative research, gave Capitol tours to constituent groups, attended committee meetings and assisted the staff with daily needs. “Sen. Shelby’s office was really good about encouraging you,” Hardy said. “They didn’t just want you to do gopher things all day, every day.” Shelby said his internship program gives students real experience in national politics. “The Congressional Internship Program provides students with a firsthand view of public service that brings their classroom studies to life,” Shelby said. “The internship experience is crafted to provide students with the opportunity to learn more about the

federal government and to gain a greater understanding of our nation’s legislative process. I am confident that these young men and women will go on to achieve great things.”
Stormwater runoff is the rain and melting precipitation that flows off streets, rooftops, lawns, and farmland. The flowing water carries salt, sand, soil, pesticides, fertilizers, leaves, oil, litter, and many other pollutants into nearby waterways. In developed areas much of the land is covered by buildings and pavement, which do not allow water to soak into the ground. Storm Sewers are used to carry the large amounts of runoff to nearby waterways.
Hardy said she was encouraged by a friend who completed an internship with Shelby. While not completely sure if she wants a career in government, Hardy said never say never, but she’s grateful for the fact that she learned a lot about how everyday government works from a responsible citizen’s stand point. “Many of our past interns have pursued careers in government – some have returned to Sen. Shelby’s office while others have worked for Sen. Sessions, various house and senate committees, the House of Representatives or state government,” said Torrie Miller, communications director for Shelby’s office. “U.S. Reps. Martha Roby and Terri Sewell previously interned in Sen. Shelby’s office.” The internship is primarily geared toward undergraduate students ages 19-23, who attend one of Alabama’s universities, but will occasionally host interns in graduate school. Demographically, there’s a nearly even mix of male and female students, Miller said.
I am confident that these young men and women will go on to achieve great things. — Sen. Richard Shelby
The application can be found on Shelby’s website for approximately four months each year. When the period has passed, Shelby’s staff reviews each student’s qualifications, and works with the senator to make the selections based on academics, involvement in service organizations, references and strength of writing demonstrated on the application essays. The internship program consists of three sessions lasting approximately one month during the months of May, June and July.

This year, 14 graduates were chosen from The University of Alabama, the largest number in UA history. “[The Fulbright Program] is a once in a lifetime opportunity: 11,000 students apply and only 16 get accepted,” said Beverly Hawk, a Fulbright program advisor and director of program services in the Center for Community-Based Partnerships who was a Fulbright winner herself. Teresa Wise, UA associate provost for international education and global out-

reach, said the record-breaking number of recipients reflects well on the University. “The more Fulbright students a university has, the better quality of the university,” Wise said. Fulbright award winners receive grants that include round-trip transportation, health care benefits and maintenance for an academic year. “Doing this program at a young age is great because it is fully-funded,” said Megan Wagner, Capstone International Center coordinator. Jenna Reynolds, a UA graduate with degrees in Spanish and philosophy, won a teaching award through the Fulbright U.S. Student Program. She plans on teaching
high school English in Spain. “The [Fulbright] program gives me the opportunity to promote an understanding between two cultures,” she said. Kathryn Crenshaw, a 2014 UA graduate in economics and Spanish, received the award the second time she applied. “That turned out to be a blessing in disguise,” she said, “because I was able to finish up my senior year and focus on my studies and extracurriculars.” Crenshaw plans on traveling to Brazil as a teaching assistant for an English professor. Recipients can choose where they would prefer to teach or research abroad as well as where they would like to go.
Crenshaw, who visited Brazil about two years ago, said it would be an honor for her to return and contribute to the country’s growth. Reynolds and Crenshaw encourage students to apply for this life-changing opportunity. “I believe that the Fulbright will be meaningful experience for any motivated, impassioned student, and I highly recommend applying to all my peers at UA,” Crenshaw said. Students and recent alumni who want more information about the Fulbright U.S. Student Program should visit 135 B.B. Comer Hall, international.ua.edu or us.fulbrightonline.org.

Birmingham dance company to visit Clark Hall on Tuesday By Jeremy Connor | Contributing Writer
Sanspointe Dance Company will make a stop at the University on Tuesday, June 16 as part of its 450-mile tour around the state of Alabama. Sanspointe, a group comprised almost entirely of UA alumnae, will be at Clark Hall’s studio to give a free dance class and concert. The show has no central theme, but a variety of styles will be represented. “We are highlighting the possibilities of current contemporary dance,” said Taryn Brown, the artistic director of Sanspointe. “The work includes some melancholic meanderings, an avant-garde piece with experimental music, and a classical modern dance to modern music, among much more.” Brown has been the artistic director since 2013, also working as a producer, choreographer and performer. She said the most rewarding part of being a member of Sanspointe is seeing all of the possibilities choreography can entail, while getting to know the other dancers with whom she works. Preparing for a tour is no easy feat, as each piece that is performed takes between eight and 15 hours of rehearsal. Sara Turney, a member of Sanspointe, wanted to be a part of this tour because of the travel aspect that hasn’t yet been present in other Sanspointe productions. Sarah M. Barry, UA associate professor
PLAN TO GO WHAT: Free dance class, dance concert WHEN: Tuesday at 5:30 p.m., 6:30 p.m. WHERE: Clark Hall Dance Studio
of dance, said the ties between Sanspointe and the University are strong. “Sanspointe was founded by former UA dance majors, so we are so happy to support the company whenever we can,” Barry said. “Many of our graduates go on to perform and/or choreograph with the company, so it’s a wonderful homecoming when the company can come to Tuscaloosa to perform or teach.” The upcoming concert will be Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. is free to the public and open to any and all potential audience members. However, some experience is strongly suggested for those who would like to attend the contemporary dance class beforehand at 5:30 p.m. Brown recommends that dancers have a general knowledge of class technique and etiquette, and are also able to assimilate material at a relatively quick pace. The class will be taught collaboratively by the Sanspointe members. There will also be an opportunity for any local professionals or dance graduates to audition for membership with the company.

Artist submits new series of paintings to Arts Center By Katherine Metcalf | Contributing Writer
Artist Lorrie Lane’s new exhibit of paintings is currently on display at the Dinah Washington Cultural Arts Center. CW / Layton Dudley
JUNE 27, 2015 MOUNDVILLE, AL
By “writing what she knows,” local artist Lorrie Lane created a new exhibit of paintings that is currently on display at the Dinah Washington Cultural Arts Center. Lane’s main subject for the paintings in “Manufactured Optimism” was the people in her household. Various objects usually inspire her collections, such as flowers, birds, nests and sheep. This show, atypical of Lane’s other works, is instead inspired by the people in her life. “I wanted to make my art more about my life, which is different for me,” Lane said. Not only does Lorrie’s art collection contain paintings of her loved ones, but she also adds in other details, such as a Zodiac theme to each painting. The purpose of this Zodiac theme is to capture the distinct qualities in each of her family members. “I wanted to add another element to the paintings, I wanted to represent each person but make them into archetypes,” Lane said. Because Lane was a fiction writer before she became an artist, she believes that the saying, “writing what

you know,” applies to both writers and artists. She says it was interesting for her to paint things that are around her every day. Lane’s paintings have been shown throughout the Southeast in Tennessee, Georgia and Florida. Heidi’s Interiors in Tuscaloosa displays Lorrie Lane’s paintings. Jeff Patterson, an interior decorator at Heidi’s Interiors, praises Lane’s work as an artist. “I think Lane has the true eye of an artist,” Patterson said. “She approaches every subject with a clear perspective, whether it be a landscape, florals or portraits.” He said that Lane’s vision is distinct because she can work with any medium and incorporate many different ideas. “I think she is always looking around her to find the next most interesting subject,” Patterson said. “I think her latest show is a testament to that.” Lane encourages visitors to the exhibit because she feels people will be able to relate to her work. Lane’s exhibit, “Manufactured Optimism” opened last Friday, and will be featured in the gallery until June 26.

afterwards, but I really didn’t think it was that far,” Burks said. Burks is also on the women’s 4x100-meter relay team. It’s her second time to compete in Oregon. She made it last year in the long jump and the 4x100-meter relay. The relay team finished sixth which earned four AllAmerica honors. Burks was named an honorable mention All-American in the long jump. “Mentally, I feel like I’m better than I was last year and just sticking to what I’ve been doing the whole outdoor season and not trying to change anything and just having a plan with my coach and just going down there and execute it,” Burks said. Alabama is competing in four individual women’s events and one women’s relay, the 4x100-meter. The women’s team is ranked No. 25 by the USTFCCCA.

11 Deas trains heavyweight champion Wilder Managing Editor | Kelly Ward sports@cw.ua.edu Wednesday, June 10, 2015
By Marquis Munson | Contributing Writer
Jay Deas has followed boxing his whole life. His brother, Tommy, used to write for various national boxing publications and his father would take them to all the fights within 100 miles. While attending Central High School, he collected over 3,000 boxing matches on VHS tape. Boxing promoters Butch Lewis and Don King would ask Deas for copies of his VHS fight tapes. Once Lewis, who represented Bernard Hopkins, called him and asked if he had any tape on middleweight boxer Joe Lipsey. “I looked through my catalog and flipped to Joe Lipsey,” Deas said. “I got 27 rounds on Lipsey, Lewis told me ‘I want em all,’ so I would make tapes and send them to him. I did that for a long time, before YouTube.” Now, the Skyy Boxing head trainer will be in the corner of World Boxing Council Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder as he makes his first title defense against Eric Molina in Birmingham on Saturday. Deas trained Wilder from the beginning of his career, and with his strong boxing IQ, trained him all the way to the top of the heavyweight division. But Deas didn’t start off with a boxing career. He earned a baseball scholarship at Chipola College in Marianna, Florida. From there, he attended Spring Hill College
in Mobile to continue his education and baseball career. He interned with journalist Rick Journey until Journey moved to FOX 6 in Birmingham. Journey’s move left a position open for Deas as a crime reporter in Tuscaloosa. He took the opening and worked in Tuscaloosa and Panama City, Florida. He later decided to quit his career as a crime reporter to focus on a career in the sport he loved since childhood: boxing. Jay and his brother Tommy started working with fighters at a local boxing gym on 40th Street until 1997, when they decided to open Skyy Boxing Gym, in Northport. The Deas brothers began putting on shows so their boxers had a platform to perform. Tommy trained and managed the fighters, while Jay was the sparring partner. After boxers showed improvement from competing in those shows, the Deas brothers and their fighters began traveling the world. The success was a short-lived experience for the brothers. In 2005, Tommy decided to focus on his journalism career and became the executive sports editor for The Tuscaloosa News, leaving Jay with the head trainer duties. After his brother’s departure, Deas wanted to take Skyy Boxing Gym to the next level. After successful traveling the world and gaining experience in the

business of boxing, he needed a premier fighter that would take his gym to that next step. He found that in a young heavyweight named Deontay Wilder. “He was a really determined kid and he worked just as hard when he didn’t think you were watching him as he did when you were watching,” Deas said. “He was raw and it wasn’t like he was Olympic caliber when he first walked in, people don’t give him enough credit for all the work he puts in.”
Skyy Boxing wasn’t just for professional boxers. Deas said he made sure the gym was open to the general public. He began training people of different ages, genders, social and racial backgrounds to teach individuals physical fitness, discipline, patience and respect. “Even though it’s an individual sport in terms of your in the ring by yourself, it’s still a team sport,” Deas said. “You have to learn to deal with a lot of people that maybe aren’t like you. Everyone in boxing is the same when they come into the gym.” He makes sure everyone that trained in the gym felt at home. His charisma mixed with his hard-working mindset, brought success to the boxing gym and made it easy for people to work with him. “He is a very silly and serious guy,” said Cuz Hill, one of Wilder’s trainers and the head coach of the Skyy Golden Gloves team. “He takes his job serious and it’s going to be hard, but we try to make the job fun.” Deas is going the distance with Skyy Boxing Gym. He has plans to expand the gym, but keeping the gym in Tuscaloosa or Northport is important to him and his team. “Deontay said it best, when asked if he wanted to move to New York or LA,” Deas said. “‘I knocked out all the guys in New York and LA, why don’t they move to

NCAA Outdoors splits days for men’s and women’s events By Kelly Ward | Managing Editor
In recent years, the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships hasn’t had designated days for men’s and women’s events. That changes this year. With the exception of the decathlon for men and heptathlon for women, the men and women will not compete on the same day. “It does tell two stories,” head coach Dan Waters said. “We get to have two championships kind of. We get to conclude one championships before we get to the next one instead of concluding them both on the same day. I think that it can really add to the storylines. It makes it a little more challenging coaching-wise being able to work with doublers and advancing and rest days and what not, but I think we’ll have a great handle on that. “But I am in favor of it just because I think we can tell two great stories of two national championship type-teams or individual national champions for men and women.” While an athlete ran the preliminary of a race on a Wednesday or Friday and the final on a Saturday in years past, this changes the dynamic of racing. It could add a day of rest or take it away. “This way it drastically decreased the amount of people that could do two events because the schedule is so fast and short now because there’s not women or men involved, you don’t double the time,”
Waters said. “So like for instance you’re a 100-meter or 200-meter guy and run the 4x100, it’s really hard to do that double because you’ve got the 4x100 like 35 minutes, the 100 then another 30 minutes, the 200 so it’s almost impossible to get all that done in a certain period of time especially at a high level.” This allows more people to compete overall so different champions will emerge, Waters said. Alabama starts off with the men Wednesday in the 4x100 relay at 6 p.m. The Crimson Tide men’s team is competing in five individual events and two relays and the women’s team in four individual events and one relay. Junior Steven Gayle starts his championship bid Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the semifinal of the men’s 400-meter. He is seeded No. 8. Two hours later, he and the other members of the men’s 4x400 relay team compete in the semifinal. All season, the team has worked toward this moment. “We’ve basically been working to fix everything, perfect everything coming up to this moment so it’s always just being patient with everything and getting it right and trying to get it right at the NCAA Championship,” Gayle said. Gayle said he doesn’t know how close to perfect the team is. “I think we’re in a good place right now,” Gayle said. “We’re confident about what we’re doing.”
