Tennessee Stile University is on a full scholarship finished seventh overall In the Southern Con championships and second freshmen what makes the former Georgetown District High School runner iccomplishment even more noteworthy is the District chimpionshlp event is an open one with runners of all ages taking part That means the 20year old was up against many older and experienced athletes

experienced runners finished 90th overall in the field The event final step before going to the fJatioml Collegiate Association NCAA ships As a first year runner Hopkins found initially tht burden of being student athlete a one Eich day the Tennessee runners were out in a van on in eight mile ride dropped off then required to run bock After that the athletes either hid to lift weights or do ind speed work In to tht daily practice Toutine was travelling to different competitions on the weekends In practice and competition demands leivc time for doing ones school work but Hopkins has to attain a grade top being In his Hopkins is listed in pre med Hopkins B shock of being away from home for first time t been too bad for the Georgetown native The only real adjustment Hopkins had to make was the dally rouiint of eating eafcleria food which was monotonous after a little while In New Hopkins will be able to do his own shopping and thus sclett foods of his own choice A big difference I found there injuries Hopkins said home in high school when w I wouldn t go sec the doctor for a few weeks But there you get mediate attention If youve hangnail you get treatment for it At Tennessee all the cross country runners live together in the same dorm and pretly much together as a unit What make life for the sixtet easier Is that all do get along which could be seen as somewhat of an accomplishment The team is made up of three Irishmen two Americans and Canadian Hopkins In Hopkins said he is amazed at the number of International runners who arc in the United States at the collegiate thals not to suggest all of Hopkins opponents this year have been strangers Throughout past season Hopkins met up with rivals he faced while at Georgetown District High School Including v meet In Kentucky where formei Ittbcl teammate Mike Wood who University of Western took part Cross country is now over that I mean Hopkins it through running Unlike athletes or football hockey and basketball scholarships crosscountry runners lake part in the rack program at their school Later this month Hopkins will take part in an indoor event in Tennessee which will kick off the track year for him However the prospect of running both track and cross country I a worrisome one for Hopkins While at he did both no real difficulty track Hopkins will run relays as as on events ranging from 1 SOS jnetrcstolO metres Hopkins no regrets about his vision to attend school In the nlted States The move South has taught him a lot and has also brought with It a certain amount of discipline There
