NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...
Previous Day Nuggets...
Next Day Nuggets...
Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
Frasure
rewriting ECU record book
After setting a new school record in
the weight throw a week ago at the Husker Invitational, East Carolina junior
Eric Frasure eclipsed another Pirate mark over the weekend, this time in the
shot put.
Frasure, a junior from Charlotte, set
the new standard at the Sykes-Sabock Challenge Cup which was held at the
Ashenfelter Track Center inside Penn State University's Multi-Sport Complex.
Frasure posted a record-toss of 16.44
meters for fifth place in the event. That bested the 32-year-old record of
16.36 set by Dennis Moody in 1974. Frasure also captured his fourth weight
throw title of the season in the event, finishing first with an NCAA
provisional qualifying effort of 20.55 meters — his second longest
performance of the season.
From an
ECU Athletics release.
Another weighty matter for the Pirates
East Carolina's strength and
conditioning staff practiced what it preached by capturing the mixed men's
team division title at the 100% Raw World Powerlifting Championships at the
Beyond Fitness Gym in Raleigh over the weekend.
Directed by second-year coach Mike Goldent, the squad competes under the
team name "ECU Pirate Factory." The team's successful outing was reported on
the school's official athletics Website,
ecupirates.com.
In the Raleigh event, ECU Pirate
Factory accumulated the highest number of total points based on individual
performances throughout the competition, which included three basis lifts —
the squat, bench press and dead lift.
Individual champions competing in
different weight and age divisions were determined by the highest combined
sum of each of the three lifts. Each competitor was allowed three attempts
at each event with the heaviest successful lift counting toward each
athlete's total.
Golden was one of six ECU Pirate
Factory first-place winners, joining Danny Wheel (Director of Olympic
Sports), Nate Barnes (strength and conditioning graduate assistant), Jason
Spruill (intern), Mike Yartin (intern) and Kevin "Twitch" Ferelli (equipment
room) in the champion's circle.
Weight room volunteers John Fisher and
Bill Simmons each earned second-place finishes, according to ecupirates.com.

ECU Athletics release.
ECU
softball duo gets C-USA honors
After leading East Carolina to a 5-0
weekend record and the FAU Worth Invitational championship, senior Ashley
Quick and junior Keli Harrell were named Conference USA softball hitter and
co-pitcher of the week, respectively.
Quick delivered two game-winning hits.
Harrell was 3-0 with 21 strikeouts. Harrell shares her honor with Houston
sophomore Angel Shamblin.
From an
ECU Athletics release.
Sutton benched for season after DUI citation
The Tulsa World reported that Oklahoma
State basketball coach Eddie Sutton, cited for driving under the influence
after a
Friday traffic accident, has stepped aside
for the remainder of the basketball season.
Sutton was arrested but was not jailed
because there was not enough physical evidence to back up the citation,
Stillwater Police Chief Norman McNickle said Monday.
Sutton also was cited with speeding and
driving left of center in the 5:45 p.m. accident in the 3000 block of North
Washington Street in Stillwater.
The police report from the accident
says that a witness saw the prescription drug Hydrocodone in Sutton's car.
The unnamed witness also told police that Sutton didn't know the day or
where he was in Stillwater after the accident.
The police report also indicates that
Sutton said he couldn't remember the accident when he arrived at the
hospital.
A statement released by Oklahoma State
University on Monday tied Sutton's decision to injuries in the accident, but
did not address his arrest.
Sutton received a head injury in the
two-vehicle accident. McNickle said Sutton couldn't be given a field
sobriety test at the accident site because of his head injury.
Sutton initially refused to give blood
for a blood test, but the police ordered it under state law, McNickle said.
Although Sutton was technically arrested, charges in the case will be the
decision of the Payne County district attorney, a decision that isn't likely
until after the blood test results are available.
OSU's statement on the school's
athletic web site indicates that Sutton will be gone from the team for rest
of the season.
The statement quoted Sutton as saying:
"It has been an extremely difficult season. With my deteriorating physical
condition and other issues, I have been under a tremendous amount of stress.
I told (OSU President David) Schmidly I was close to making this decision
after the trip to Kansas State because the pain in my back was making it
very difficult to coach. After Friday's events, I know it is best to go on
medical leave the remainder of the season to address my future health."
The statement doesn't address the
arrest.
