Kinda boring here; Anyone care to brag about past personal sporting achievements?

[Kitaman]

Freshman football team went undefeated and unscored upon, 10-0. I was the star running back.

Won the basketball tourney in high school and was title game MVP (33 points).

 

[phillionaire]

I hit a cycle of home runs (solo, two run, three run, and grand slam) in a rec league softball game last year. We still lost.

 

[UConNick]

Won my friend group’s large summer beer die tournament 2 of the last 3 years.

Gonna try to make it 3 in 4 a week from Saturday!!!

Tongue-in-cheek, of course, but no drinking game imo is more fun than beer die. It’s a shame it only seems to have made it to the east coast in the last 6-8 years.

Finishing in the leader pack in a century race on the hottest day of the year in Alabama

Wow, that's impressive. That would kill me. Literally.

 

[FreeKlaiber]

Called my extra inning home run to win high school game to reporter Hal Levy while in on deck circle. He wrote article comparing me to babe ruth lol.

Following year at Uconn happened to live across hall from the very pitcher i went deep on in Towers. I plastered my door with copies of the article, so he saw it everytime he left his room ( til he tore them down first drunken weekend lol)

It was hillier than I was used to, too. Just an absolutely devastating ride. I took like a year off from cycling after it.

 

[Cam24]

Had a killer spin move to avoid the security guard to be the first person to storm the court against Texas; also stormed the field against USF

 

[REB1094]

one time I scored 6 points in a JV high school game as a junior

Pinnacle of my organized sports career

 

[Leebo]

A couple years ago I signed up for some random golf fundraiser tournament I saw a flyer for and won the long drive trophy. They were all confused why this person who had no connection to the organization actually showed up.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Hit a soccer ball into a trash can from midfield in high school. Team lost their minds. I can admit now, I was aiming for the goal.

 

[HooperScooper]

 

[geordi]

Had three holes in one.

 

[StrawChewer]

I pitched a one hitter beating Madison Bumgarner in high school. I like to think that inspired him to win two World Series championships and sportsman of the year

 

[husky429]

My accomplishments as a coach matter much more to me because I get to see other people succeed. I've coached MMA/Muay Thai, XC, track and field, and basketball.

• Basketball
  • 1 HS conference championship.
  • Never had a losing season.
  • From high school--4 kids on college rosters (maybe 3? I'm forgetting)
  • From AAU--probably a dozen kids D1, 1 professional player.
• Track and field--I coached sprinters and jumpers.
  • I believe 6 kids from track and field are on D1 rosters.
  • 1 state championship in track and field (boys)
  • 2 conference championships in T&F (1 boys, 1 girls)
• XC
  • 1 state championship in XC
  • I think 3 conference championships in XC
• MMA/Muay Thai
  • Nothing really exciting, but I did corner a UFC fight a few years ago.

In junior high/high school...
ran track against a future olympic gold medalist in the 4x400..(he had to give it back) Jerome Young
played baseball on the same team as a world series winning pitcher -Carl Pavano
played football against a future super bowl winning DB -Tebucky Jones
played little league against the Trumbull baseball team (Chris Drury) who won the LL world series

 

[Bezzz]

My Dad and me, about 25 years apart.

 

[diggerfoot]

I broke a twenty year old record to hike 80 miles on the Appalachian Trail in one day. Unfortunately, I had to stop when the crotch rot from a freak downpour slowed me down to a waddle. That left the door open for my record to be broken the very next year.

I also killed 73 deer flies in one day during a 50 mile hike on the AT. I’m pretty sure that’s a record.

I don't think anyone can beat that. Wow.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Just this last weekend, my brother-in-law and I dominated a bunch of college kids in cornhole on the beach in Brigantine. It was hot and the beers were hitting me but I fought through and we won about 15 games in a row. Then I was asleep by 8pm…

There are a bunch of high school, college multi-sport and slow pitch softball accolades years ago, but knowing I still have it tossing beanbags gives me a warm fuzzy.

I ran track back then. Jerome Young was ridiculous in high school, best track and field athlete in the country and had the second fastest 400 time ever in high school. The things Young and Tony Ortiz at Crosby were doing on the track back then were insane.

 

[BlueandOG]

I ran a team ultra marathon (30 miles each runner) with 3 other UCONN guys and we won for our age group.

Nope. The record is 74.
