Turning karate into running Red-shirt freshman cross-country runner Tommy Tate draws on his karate training to stay a leg up on the competition BY ALEX JOHNSON THE DAILY IOWAN He may not be a mutant, a ninja, or a turtle, but this 19- year old has experience with martial arts. Tommy Tate, a red- shirt freshman on the Iowa men’s cross-country team, spent nine years in karate, something his parents placed him in after reading an article in their Galesburg, Ill., paper. He believes he benefited from the experience. “In karate, you have to be really disciplined and be able to take directions,” he said. “You have to train your body to bal- ance, and strength-wise, there’s a lot of calisthenics and pushups, sit-ups, that kind of stuff.” The strength of Tate is visible — he stands out on the course as one of the physically stronger competitors. That’s partially because of his continuing use of Katrina Hawthorne/The Daily Iowan certain karate techniques. Tommy Tate listens to coach Larry Wieczorek talk about the upcoming Pre-Nationals meet in Terre Haute, “I don’t actually remember a lot of the forms,” he said. “But I Ind., at practice on Tuesday. still practice what I do know, niques is “kata,” with different which just helps with running, high school, I didn’t really have such as the strength training … levels leading to higher ranks. in general.” a team to run with, because the old routines I still use, some- Before stopping in seventh However, the physicality has- they were not capable.

The book, Walk-on kicker to debut BY JIMMY GOLEN ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — Steve Aponavi- cius remembers with pride his role in last year’s Boston Col- lege football highlights video: He was in the stands, with his face painted, cheering on the team. On Thursday night, the left- footed walk-on will sub for sus- pended placekicker Ryan Ohliger against No. 22 Virginia Tech. It’s not just Aponavicius’ Boston College debut; it will be the first time he’s played in a football game. “It’s a good way to start: against Virginia Tech on nation- al TV,” he said with a laugh before practice Tuesday. “I was happy with an opportunity just to make the team.” Aponavicius — a Lithuanian name pronounced AH’-pah-nah- VIH’-chis — chose soccer over football at Easton (Pa.) High, playing defender with a special- ty in long goal kicks. He also played baseball and cheered on the football team as the founder of an informal fan club he dubbed “Red Rover Nation.” Aponavicius broke out the face paint again when he got to Boston College, but he found that he missed being on a team. So, on the first day of classes as a freshman, last year, he grabbed a football and headed down to Alumni Stadium to find out for himself if he had any Chitose Suzuki/Associated Press placekicking prowess. “I thought if anyone saw me, Boston College kicker Steve Aponavicius boots the ball during foot- they wouldn’t say anything ball practice Tuesday in Boston.
