Note: Each week, the TTU Sports
Information Staff will dig into the school's rich Photo Archives
and publish a photo from the past. Some of the photos will include
identification, but sometimes Tech will ask for viewers' help in
identifying the people shown in the photo. To submit missing
identification or comments about the photos in this series, send an
email to: sportsinfo@tntech.edu.
Featured this week: We uncovered a photo
from 2005-06 showing a pair of talented Tech high jumpers -- Amy
Campbell and Ashley Brady -- as they celebrate finishing first and
second in their event at the Sewanee Indoor Invitational. Amy
Campbell set the school record in the high jump later that year by
clearing the bar at 5 feet, 7 inches at the OVC Championships. The
record was tied this past year by Katherine Lynn at the JSU
Invitational. While Lynn and Campbell sit at the top of the
list, Brady still ranks fourth among all Tech high jumpers with a
career-best mark of 5 feet, 3 inches.
Incidentally, both Lynn (who won the OVC individual championship in
May) and Brady are from Cookeville and competed at Cookeville High
School before attending Tech.
Editor's Note: Last week's featured photo
showed basketball player Jimmy Elliott vs. Clemson in 1984-85. We
are sad to report that Jimmy lost his fight against cancer and
passed away on Sunday, July 25, at the age of 48.
