VMI junior Gavin Jenkins finished his season Friday night at the NCAA Regional in Jacksonville.
The Chester Gap native placed 30th overall in the 3,000-meter steeplechase with a time of 9:10.16, eighth in the second heat of the event.
“I could not be prouder of Gavin’s progress and work over all three seasons this year,” said VMI Director of Track and Field Darrin Webb. “It is a very tough challenge to peak three times during one academic year, but he had three outstanding championships this year. He finished this year with a school record time of 8:44 in the steeple and a 14:02 in the 5k, two second-place finishes at the SoCon outdoor championships and of course qualifying to the NCAA Regional. These are all great accomplishments

THE WASHINGTON POST â I parked my car in my girlfriendâs driveway. We were returning from the park that Sunday in November, and Bob, my three-year-old border collie mix, bounced around the back seat, trying to avoid Suzy, our rambunctious five-month-old Australian cattle dog, who had a habit of biting his neck and legs.
My girlfriend exited the car first and, as I got out, she opened a back door. Bob jumped out and raced toward the backyard. Suzy, a blue heeler who had big, pointed ears, a stumped tail and a white face, normally followed Bob. If she didnât chase him, she was easy to grab, thanks to a seven-foot-long leash.
