St. Aug's Kindred Selected Division II Men's Field Athlete of the Year
May 22, 2008
The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) named Joe Kindred of Saint Augustine's College as the 2008 Division II National Men's Field Athlete of the Year.
Kindred, a junior from Fuquay-Varina, NC, is the top seed in the
long jump and high jump at the 2008 NCAA Division II National
Outdoor Championships, being held May 22-24 at Walnut, Calif. He
has the nation's top marks in the long jump (25-5 ¼) and
high jump (7-2 ½).
Kindred was earlier named the 2008 Southeast Regional Men's Field Athlete of the Year after a stellar outdoor season. He won the CIAA Men's Field MVP award after capturing the long jump and high jump and placing third in the triple jump at the 2008 CIAA Championships.
Kindred also won the long jump and high jump at the prestigious Penn Relays.
This is the second straight year a student-athlete from Saint Augustine's College has won a USTFCCCA national honor. In 2007, Kwonya Ferguson was named the Division II National Women's Field Athlete of the Year.
