Men’s Sprinter: Carl Lum (SR):

Rampart High School graduate Carl Lum is now a captain on the UCCS track team. He specializes in the shorter sprints, and is driven to succeed. "I have always been a competitive person and, for me, nothing is better than the start of the 200 and just running down whoever I can."

One of Lum's favorite memories came from his sophomore season. "The race I will always remember is running the anchor leg of the 4 by 100-meter relay in Memorial Stadium at Kansas University."

He also hopes to finish off his collegiate career well. "Hopefully I will have a good leg as a part of our 4 by 100-meter team and help set a new school record in the event," he said. Carl also said he was "hopeful our sprint crew can have a dominating performance in our individual races at conference and have a good 4 by 100-meter relay."

The team is currently working hard towards these goals, said Lum. "For the outdoor season we are working on our starts and speed training to hopefully improve our times and become faster and more powerful."
