  • Triple Jumping the JAC Way
    Triple Jumping the JAC Way Eli Sunquist Jacksonville Athletic Club Jaxtrack.com Introduction Power ballet. Skipping stone. Bouncing ball. Adult hopscotch. The best way to injure your knees and back. One of the most dangerous events in track and field. These are all things that have been said about the triple jump. The triple jump is such an exciting event to watch when done properly. Athletes sprint down a runway at full speed, slowly gliding through the air only to briefly touch down a few times on their way to splashing down into a sandpit. Great jumpers have talked about the event like they are “stones, skipping across the water.” At the highest of levels it looks as if the jumper is walking on air. At the lowest of levels, it looks like someone’s hips are going to pop off, and you just hope they can make it into the sand pit! When done properly you feel like you are flying. When done improperly, you feel like you have been in a car wreck. This, my friends, is the triple jump. I was drawn to the triple jump as a middle schooler who was watching the 1996 Olympic Games on TV, and I happened to see Kenny Harrison triple jump. I was in shock. It looked like he was walking on the air. Although I never looked like him while jumping, that moment of watching him jump got me hooked on the event. The mix of speed, power, technique and balance make the triple jump one of the most exciting events to watch, and any athlete who is dedicated to getting better and doesn’t mind some hard work are the perfect candidates for this event.

  • 2020 Commencement Program.Pdf
    Commencement MAY 2020 WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends: This is an occasion of profoundly mixed emotions for all of us. On one hand, there is the pride, excitement, and immeasurable hope that come with the culmination of years of effort and success at the University of Connecticut. But on the other hand, there is the recognition that this year is different. For the first time since 1914, the University of Connecticut is conferring its graduate and undergraduate degrees without our traditional ceremonies. It is my sincere hope that you see this moment as an opportunity rather than a misfortune. As the Greek Stoic philosopher Epictetus observed, “Difficulties show us who we are.” This year our University, our state, our nation, and indeed our world have faced unprecedented difficulties. And now, as you go onward to the next stage of your journey, you have the opportunity to show what you have become in your time at UConn. Remember that the purpose of higher education is not confined to academic achievement; it is also intended to draw from within those essential qualities that make each of us an engaged, fully-formed individual – and a good citizen. There is no higher title that can be conferred in this world, and I know each of you will exemplify it, every day. This is truly a special class that will go on to achieve great things. Among your classmates are the University’s first Rhodes Scholar, the largest number of Goldwater scholars in our history, and outstanding student leaders on issues from climate action to racial justice to mental health.
