Scott Highlighted In Sports Illustrated Magazine

April 7, 2010
 
Standout sprinter Josh Scott (Jr./Winter Haven, Fla.) of Saint Augustine’s College is one of six student-athletes featured in the April 5 issue of Sports Illustrated magazine in the Faces In The Crowd section.
 
“I am surprised,” Scott said. “My brother has been in the magazine before, but I never thought I would be in it. It is an honor.”
 
Scott is mentioned for his indoor track and field exploits in 2010. He was named NCAA Division II indoor track athlete of the year after winning the 200-meter and 400-meter dashes in record fashion and anchoring the winning 4x400 relay team at the 2010 NCAA Division II Indoor Championships for a second straight year. His times of 20.91 seconds in the 200 and 46.05 seconds in the 400 set meet records.
 
Acclaimed track and field head coach George Williams says Scott is very deserving of being in the magazine. He adds that Scott has the talent and attitude to go far in the sport.
 
“He is a coachable guy,” said Williams, who has guided Saint Augustine’s College to 30 NCAA Division II track and field championships. “If he continues to do well, Scott will be on a national team.”
 
In addition to being in Sports Illustrated, Scott is also on the magazine’s website. Click on to http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/scorecard/faces/2010/04/05/ to see the Faces in the Crowd section.
 
Scott is the second student-athlete from Saint Augustine’s College to be mentioned in Sports Illustrated in five months. Barbara Pierre was featured in Faces in the Crowd in the Nov. 23, 2009 issue.
