FULL SCHOLARSHIPS TO NEBRASKA

IMMEDIATE HUSKER IMPACT
We congratulate MCTF graduate athletes Jodi-Rae Blackwood (Capt., left) and Dexter McKenzie (right) who were both awarded full scholarships to the University of Nebraska in 2010.

Jodi-Rae and Dexter will be pursuing pre-med and architecture degrees respectively. They have both settled in well and have already made an impact on the Husker squad. Jodi-Rae split 48 flat to lead off a record breaking indoor 4x400m team at a Husker inter-squad meet while Dexter leaped 7.31m in the long jump for third place behind reigning NCAA indoor champion Nicholas Gordon (2nd, 7.74m) and All-American Chris Phipps (1st, 7.77m). Both JB and Dex will open up their official indoor season on January 14th at the Holiday Inn Invitational. You can follow their progress on the Husker website.

Gentlemen, your hard work, focus and determination have always been an inspiration to the MCTF family. Train hard and study harder. We wish you all the best for the semester, the season and beyond.

Regards,
B. Hayden ('87)
Team Manager
