  • . 20 WESTERN CAROLINIAN SPORTS April 19, 2000 No Hurdle Too High for Turtle' file photo Senior Derek "Turtle " LeMay is a crucial member of WCU's track and field team. Turtle, a member of the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity, competes in the 400-meter hurdles. by Denise Merritt Staff Writer The road of life presents barriers that can prohibit an individual from traveling on. True champions discover ways around those obstacles and continue on their journeys. Derek LeMay has learned throughout the years that the best way to go over the hurdles is fast. LeMay, or "Turtle" as some call him, grew up in Charlotte. While attending Independence High School he played football and ran track. Derek said that he acquired his nickname during his tenth grade year while playing football. "One of my coaches stared calling me 'Turtle'," LeMay said. "At the end of the season I asked him why he was calling me 'Turtle' and he said he thought everyone was calling me that." LeMay began running track in the eighth grade. He started out running the 400-meters and the 4x400-meter rely. During his freshman year in high school he gave hurdling a try. He first tackled the 75-meter hurdles. "My coach in junior high had us run everything," said LeMay. "I ran the hurdles every other meet." The coach didn't see his 5'6" height as a disadvantage. Derek proved that there is never a hurdle too high-to jump over. In the tenth grade, he began to focus on the 300-meter hurdles. He qualified for the Class 4-A state meet the next two years. His junior year he finished third and during his senior year, he was selected MVP of the team. When the time came to decide upon a college to attend LeMay had vague thoughts of where he wanted to go. Head coach Danny Williamson called Derek and persuaded him to become a Catamount. The transition to the college level brought longer and tougher races. Instead of the 300-meter hurdles, Derek now runs the 400- meter hurdles. "A lot of people look and say 'He's too short to run hurdles'," LeMay said. "I like the challenge." Derek has become an inspiration to his younger brother, who has taken up the sport and the name "Turtle." "I try to teach him everything I know, but he can be hard- headed," said LeMay. "He wants to learn the hurdles, so I try to teach him. I have to be a brother and a coach." Besides running, Derek is busy with other activities. He is a member of Phi Beta Sigma fraternity, serving as acting president last year. LeMay is a Computer Information major. "My dream is to make video games or work for a company who makes them," Derek said. He plans to graduate in December and attend technical school in the future. tanning salon C*tt 293-3125 located across from post office beside cullowhee quick-stop NOW 10 BEDS! jsten up class of 2000! there are 1,000 things you didn't even know you had before graduation <*Vi raduation countdown class of 2000 network graduation announcements online gift registry real world guide careers and a whole lot more ww.eGrad2000.com jeKracyjijiiiB the rijfst start in tlte real wotlo" 0JOBTRAK.COM 'The (est site lor students I grails looking lor their first jo*"
