NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...

Next Day Nuggets...
Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
Pirate track team has success in Knoxville
Three East Carolina men's track and
field athletes and the Pirates' 4x100 relay squad bested NCAA Regional
qualification minimums during competition at the Sea Ray Relays held at the
Tom Black Track inside LaPorte Stadium on the University of Tennessee campus
over the weekend, according to an ECU media relations release.
Freshman sprinters Kevin Thompson
(10.41) and Jerek Hewett (10.42) both earned qualification in the 100-meter
dash with personal-record efforts that resulted in fifth and sixth-place
finishes, respectively. Junior Terrance Myers also established a career-best
effort in the hammer throw at 58.54 to pick up a second-place standing and
exceed the post-season qualification mark for the fourth time this season.
The Pirates' 4x100 relay squad
surpassed the NCAA minimum for the second time in 2006, finishing third with
a time of 40.22, just .02 shy of the program's season-best.
ECU's
Salisbury wins women's javelin
Junior Chelsea Salisbury captured a
javelin title and was runner-up in the hammer throw event to highlight the
East Carolina women's track program's participation at the Carolina Fast
Times meet at Irwin Belk Track and Fetzer Field over the weekend, according
to an ECU sports media relations release.
Salisbury recorded a javelin toss of
39.19 meters to edge out teammate Danielle Eiler's career-best mark of 38.15
before setting a personal record of her own with a 52.11-meter effort in the
hammer throw.
FSU's
Johnson will examine NBA option
The Tallahassee Democrat has reported
that Florida State junior center Alexander Johnson has decided to take a
closer look at his NBA dreams.
Johnson will not sign with an agent,
leaving open the chance he will return for his senior season.
"We will give Alexander and his family
all of the support they need as they go through this decision-making
process," FSU coach Leonard Hamilton said in a release.
Junior power forward Al Thornton is
also a question mark for the Seminoles, who finished 20-10 this past season
and could return four starters next season. He has not yet announced his
plans.
Johnson, 23, will be able to work out
for NBA teams but could remove his name from the draft up until June 18.
Charles Roberts, Johnson's godfather,
told the Democrat that Johnson would probably have to be considered a top-15
pick to remain in the draft.
"He would have to be high," Roberts
said. "But there's no agent involved — period. Coach Ham is handling
everything."
This time last year, Johnson was
considering transferring. He was coming off a disappointing sophomore season
and still didn't have a double-double to his credit. But he dropped about 20
pounds from his 6-foot-9 frame and emerged as an intimidating presence in
the post. He averaged 13.2 points and a team-best 7.4 rebounds per game.
