Organisations and people who succeed, expand while others get smaller. They take risks while others conserve. They remain focused on the destination instead of the difficulties. The successful keep their eyes on the targets regardless of the challenges. Big thinking, massive actions, expansion and risk taking are necessary for our survival and future growth. We will never have all the answers. Our timing will never be perfect. There will always be obstacles and difficulties. However, success is our duty, obligation and responsibility. Successful people and organisations are highly goal oriented and always pay more attention to the target than the problem. Excuses are for people and organisations who refuse to take responsibility. People and organisations with a can do attitude approach every situation with the outlook that no matter what, it can be done. Challenges are the experiences that forge successful people and organisations' abilities.

    DIVISION I 103 Outdoor Track and Field DIVISION I 2001 Championships OUTDOOR TRACK Highlights Volunteers Are Victorious: Tennessee used a strong performance from its sprinters to edge TCU by a point May 30-June 2 at Oregon. The Volunteers earned their third title with 50 points, as the championship-clinching point was scored by the 1,600-meter relay team in the final event of the meet. Knowing it only had to finish the event to secure the point to break the tie with TCU, Tennessee’s unit passed the baton careful- ly and placed eighth. Justin Gatlin played the key role in getting Tennessee into position to win by capturing the 100- and 200-meter dashes. Gatlin was the meet’s only individual double winner. Sean Lambert supported Gatlin’s effort by finishing fourth in the 100. His position was another important factor in Tennessee’s victory, as he placed just ahead of a pair of TCU competitors. Gatlin and Lambert composed half of the Volunteers’ 400-meter relay team that was second. TCU was led by Darvis Patton, who was third in the 200, fourth in the long jump and sixth in the 100. He also was a member of the Horned Frogs’ victorious 400-meter relay team. TEAM STANDINGS 1. Tennessee ..................... 50 Colorado St. ................. 10 Missouri........................ 4 2.
