Akirtradewo file
Born: Foiuso Ayotunde Akinradewo in
Ontario, Canada, on April 6, 1982.
Before Oregon: Finished his senior
season at Clovis West High in Fresno, Calif.,
as the 2Oth-ranked athlete in the triple jump.
Won OF Central Section MVP honors after
winning Centra! Section his senior year,
Oregon: Finished seventh at 2000 and
2001 Pac-10 Championships, with a best of
50 feet, 6 inches at the 2001 Texas Relays,
last season, jumped to second at Pac-10s
but missed NCAA Championships. Will
make his 2003 outdoor debut at this
weekend’s Pepsi Team Invitational
Track
continued from page 9
“In high school, you’re doing
everything else, you start training for
track in January, some places even
February,” Akinradewo said. “Here
you start in September, October. It’s
just a year-round thing. You’re not
used to it.”
But he still finished seventh at
Pac-lOs that season. The next year,
Akinradewo was the only true triple
or long jumper on the team, and he
struggled to stay motivated without
the presence of a practice mate. He
again finished seventh at Pac-lOs,
but his conference mark dropped by
almost a foot.
Then, last season, Akinradewo re
ceived a little angel in the form of
freshman Derek Strubel, a fellow
triple jumper. The two pushed each
other in the weight room and on the
track, and the result was a happier
Akinradewo — a second-place-at
Pac-1 Os Akinradewo.
“When I got here, Akinradewo was
really good to me, kind of took me un
der his wing, showed me the system,”
Strubel said. “He pulls me along, too,
he knows a lot about the event.”
The event is an oddity. Part tim
ing, part hops, part strength—and of
course, all rhythm—the triple jump
is one of the forgotten events in track
as people focus on the more explo
sive long jump. But triple jumpers
score points at team meets, too, and
Akinradewo will be the top-ranked
triple jumper at Saturday’s Pepsi
Team Invitational, where Oregon
will go head-to-head-to-head with
Minnesota, Colorado and Washing
ton. Strubel is ranked fourth among
Saturday’s entries.
“I love it,” Strubel said of the
triple. “It takes a lot of skill to con
trol your body. It’s one of the more fi
nesse events.”
Akinradewo said he’ll try to finesse
his way through this weekend’s meet.
He said he’s taking a different ap
proach to the season, a “fun” ap
proach. But don’t confuse “fun” with
“lazy.” It just means he’s not too wor
ried about his competition.
“Some people on our team scout
the competition ahead of time,”
Akinradewo said. “I don’t even
want to know who’s coming. I have
a mark in my mind that I want to
shoot for.”
So don’t be surprised if you see Ak
inradewo on campus this week,
headphones on, blaring music only
he can hear.
He’s just trying to get the rhythm.
