The
Rocket Chooses Wisconsin - STEVENS
POINT WI 11/15/02 -- Chris (the Rocket) Solinsky, US#1 2-miler last
spring and 3rd in last year's Foot Locker national finals, tonight
announced he will run for the University of Wisconsin next year.
The Stevens Point Area Senior
High runner's decision came down to Wisconsin and Stanford. "Both
schools are very good," Solinsky said, "but the coach
and the team atmosphere at Wisconsin made me feel like it was a
perfect fit for me."
Solinsky signed the letter of intent
before a crowd of 80 fans and family in Thomas (Pre) Jensen's "Club
Men," a barn that has been converted into a shrine to running.
Local television interviewed Solinsky in front of a wall devoted
to his running accomplishments. When a music group sang the national
anthem and came to "the rocket's red glare," the crowd
roared and hugged The Rocket.
Solinsky gave DyeStat his answer to
the question posed on TrackTalk:
Who is the better runner from Stevens Point, Suzy Favor-Hamilton
or Chris Solinsky? "I'd have to say Suzy Favor right now. But
I'm still working on it." |
