Craig Stevens: Miscellaneous
built 220 days ago
Bevins was the surprise package of the day, even taking time out of Stevens during the epic 22km run around Moehau mountain, to trail the experienced winner by just 12min. Third placed Mark Struthers was ... a standout. The 50-year-old Aucklander filled third overall and won his veteran 50+ category while beating everyone in the younger 40+ category. In a small women’s field Dunedin’s Kyle Doel made her trip north worthwhile when she was the only woman to finish the full course in just over 10hrs 30min.

That may be, but Stevens is still attracting national attention. The Mackey Award, given to the tight end who best exemplifies the play, sportsmanship, academics and community values of NFL Hall of Famer John Mackey, was awarded to another Pac-10 student-athlete in 2005 - UCLA's Marcedes Lewis, now with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

While many in the AOC admire the way Stevens has handled himself, being paid for his announcement may have tarnished his public image. In the minds of sport fans, Stevens could be seen as the man who gave up his spot on the blocks for money. Thorpe is once again the favourite for the Olympics.

It is ... easy to over look Stevens' consistency. The fifth year senior hasn't missed a game since the 2004 season. Playing relatively injury-free throughout his collegiate career is due in no small part to the extra time Stevens spends in the weight room, focusing on extra arms, abs and core work.
