February 2, 2000 SPORTS WESTERN CAROLINIAN 17 Burke County's Twin Tracksters by Denise Merritt Staff Writer If it were not for different birth dates and last names, these guys would be twins. They both like comedies and Christian rock. They are both sibling number three in their families. They have attended the same school from kindergarten on. They even shared track MVP their senior year. They both have a built-in desire to achieve suc- photo courtesy Denise Merritt Robert Stephens running at Clemson. cess in all they set out to do. On the 400-meter oval, called the quarter, is where they become different. One is a sprinter and the other is a distance runner. Johnnie Morrison and Robert Stephens are Burke County's twin tracksters. Morrison, a 22-year old Hickory native, graduated from East Burke High School in 1995. As a prep he played halfback in football and ran track. Being on a team has been his objective since the seventh grade, but it was not until the eighth grade that he developed the nerve. "I was too intimidated to try out for the track team," said Morrison. "The coach put me in the quarter because he didn't think I was fast enough." In high school he found his specialty, the 100 and 200 meter. In his sophomore year he tied the school record in the 100 and broke the record in the 200. He went undefeated his junior and senior year. "Ever since kindergarten I wanted to be the fastest," said Morrison. His talents didn't go unnoticed. After he graduated from high school, Morrison sat out a year from school and ran unattached in various meets around the area. He came to a football camp held in Cullowhee, and that's when his college career began. Head coach Danny Williamson kept tabs on Morrison's running that year and then talked to him about becoming a Catamount. Morrison was the 1999 Southern Conference Indoor 55-meter champion and currently holds the school record in the 55 and 60 meters. "Last year was a break-out year for Johnnie," said Williamson. Morrison attributes all his accomplishments to God. "Every since I can remember I prayed to be fast," said Morrison. Morrison plans to graduate in May with a degree in sport management. Living just within a country mile of Morrison, is his Burke County brother, Robert Stephens. Stephens has lived in Morganton all 22 years of his life. While at East Burke he was a three-sport athlete, competing in cross-county, wrestling, and track. Stephens was All-state in both crosscountry and wrestling. After high school, he went next door to Boiling Springs to attend Gardner-Webb University. While there he ran cross-country and wrestled. During his sophomore year he was the South Atlantic Conference cross-country champion, which earned him Athlete of the Year honors. After a two-year stay at G-W he transferred to WCU. "It's a whole different world switching to Division-I," said Stephens. Stephens has been running for over half photo courtesy Denise Merritt Senior Johnnie Morrison. his life. He recalls, "When I was nine, I ran the fun run in a road race and won a big ol' trophy. Then I was hooked." Stephens is a business management major scheduled to graduate in May. After graduation he plans to attend seminary. "I want to go into full-time ministry, probably some type of youth ministry," said Stephens. No matter the distance the bond that these two share will never be broken. The old saying still holds true for these two: Old friends are the best. First-Year Soccer Still Receiving Accolades by Daniel Hooker Sports Editor Their season ended the first part of November, yet, accolades for Western Carolina's first-year soccer program are still filing in. Last week, two freshmen from head coach Debbie Hensley's squad were honored. Freshmen Nardia Moore and Kelly Barker were both mentioned by Soccer Buzz Magazine in post-season honors. Moore was named Freshman of the Year among all first-year programs. For the 1999 season there were 11 first-year women's soccer programs. During the season, Moore was ranked as high as eighth nationally in scoring, finishing her first-year at Western Carolina with 15 goals and eight assists. She played in all 20 of the team's games and was named to the All-Conference Second Team and led the conference in goals scored. Twice, the Fountain Inn, SC, native scored the game-winning goal, against Troy State in a 2-0 shutout and also against Limestone College in a 3-0 shutout. Moore scored career-high two goals in four games. She marked a career-high of four assists against Columbia College, defeating the Lady Koalas 10-0, the team's largest margin of victory. The forward ended the season averaging .75 goals per game and led the Lady Catamounts to a 10-9-1 overall record and 2-7 in league play. The team fought its way into the first round of the Southern Conference Tournament where they lost a disappointing 0-4 to first seed Furman University. "Nardia is extremely deserving of this award," Kelly Barker said Debbie Hensley. "She did a great job anchoring our team all season and I am looking forward to her having a successful career at Western Carolina University." As well as being named Freshman-of-the- Year, Soccer Buzz Magazine named Moore and teammate Kelly Barker to the All-National Team for first-year programs. Barker finished tied for second in scoring for the Lady Cats, tallying 14 points. She led the team in assists with 12 for an average of 0.6 per game. She Nardia Moore marked two assists in three games, Guilford College, Liberty and South Carolina State. The Greer, SC, native finished the season ranked second in the conference in assists. "It's a great honor to have two players representing Western Carolina on the All-National team of first- year programs," said Hensley. "Kelly Barker and Nardia Moore brought great leadership to our young team and will continue to be counted on in years to come. I'm extremely proud of their accomplishments." 20% OFF ANY ONE ITEM (WITH COUPON) WCU BOOKSTORE FEB. 14, 15, 16th ONLY COME REGISTER FOR PRIZES TO BE GIVEN AWAY ON VALENTINES DAY (limit 1 per customer excludes textbooks and sale items) I I I I I I I I I I I I I .J
