The
Hudson Reporter - By Jim Hague
SCOREBOARD:
Simply an amazing year for SPC's Mayers
It's
almost unfathomable to consider the magnitude of the
athletic year enjoyed by St. Peter's College junior
Sean Mayers. Quite frankly, it has to go down as one
of the most diverse and certainly most successful
years that a local college athlete has ever
accomplished.
Try putting these gems of brilliance together for a
second.
Last fall, while playing for the St. Peter's College
football team, Mayers was the No. 2 rusher in the
entire nation for NCAA Division I-AA schools. He ran
for a total of 1,546 yards (154.6 per game), playing
for the Peacocks, who weren't exactly world beaters.
The next leading rusher on the 3-7 Peacocks had a
grand total of 81 yards. Which means it wasn't
exactly like the Peacocks were spreading the carries
around. Mayers was the entire offensive package.
In
the spring, Mayers, a native of Marlton, N.J. in the
southern part of the state, turned his attentions
towards track and field and once again, had moments
of brilliance never before enjoyed by an SPC
athlete.
First,
Mayers was part of the Peacocks' 1600-meter relay
team that won the school's first-ever gold medal at
the prestigious Penn Relays. Along with teammates Mark
Anderson, Roman Zhnurenka and Carl Cowart,
Mayers ran a school-record 3:16.87, taking a gold
medal at Franklin Field in Philadelphia. Mayers ran
his 400-meter split in an impressive 48.75, moving
the Peacocks from fifth to second in the race.
Then, a week later, Mayers won a gold medal in the
long jump at the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference
championships at Rider University, setting a new
MAAC and school record in the process.
Mayers made a successful jump of 7.37 meters
(translates to 24 feet, two inches), breaking the
old mark of 22-10 set four years ago by Manhattan's Magnus
Ahlen. His leap qualified Mayers for this
weekend's NCAA Championships, which will be held at
Randall's Island in New York.
Mayers also finished third in the 100-meter dash at
the MAAC championships, breaking another school mark
of 10.87 seconds.
When you put it all together, it becomes one of the
most brilliant campaigns ever _ easily the most
diverse athletic year ever enjoyed by an athlete at
Harvard on the Boulevard.
Mayers said that he hasn't truly appreciated the
magnitude of the accomplishments and the diversity
of his achievements.
"I honestly don't know," Mayers said.
"I never really thought of stuff like that. My
mother keeps telling me how incredible it is, but it
really hasn't hit me. I'm just not that kind of
person. I guess I'm pretty fortunate to have the
kind of success I've had this year, setting school
records in football and track. I know what I can do
and I'm not surprised in what I can do, especially
with the amount of work I put into it."
Three years ago, when Mayers was a senior at
Cherokee High School, he was being recruited by a
few schools for football. When he received a call
from the coaching staff at St. Peter's College, he
had no idea where it was.
"I never heard of it, but that made it better,
because I wanted to go to a place that I didn't
think was well known," Mayers said. "I
like being the underdog and surprise people."
While he was recruited for football, Mayers received
a track scholarship to SPC, knowing full well that
he would have to compete in both sports _ a total
rarity among NCAA Division I athletics.
Mayers said that he's been playing organized
football _ "since I was in kindergarten,"
Mayers said _ and that he took up running track in
fifth grade. For that reason alone, he thinks of
himself more as a football player.
"I also think I'm a better football
player," Mayers admits.
Although after this spring's performance, that
argument may be up for debate.
Mayers, who will graduate next year with a degree in
business management, said that he's looking forward
to the NCAA Championships this weekend for two
reasons. One, because he wants to compete one last
time in his brilliant season. But the other is for
more selfish reasons.
"I'm the lone person on the team going, so I
want to do well, but I'm more anxious to get it over
with, because I need a break," Mayers laughed.
"It's been a long year. I need some time off,
then I can concentrate on football again."
Mayers said that he was surprised to be ranked among
the nation's rushing leaders.
"As the season was going on, I really didn't
pay much attention to it, until someone told me
about it," Mayers said. "Then, I really
wanted to lead the nation. I figured I was close and
wanted to do it. So I looked to see where I stood
after every game. When I finished second, I was a
little disappointed. I now have something to shoot
for next year."
Remarkably, it means that little SPC has two juniors
who ranked among the nation's best _ Keydren
"Kee-Kee" Clark, the nation's leading
basketball scorer and Mayers, the grid rushing
leader.
"I know him," Mayers said of Clark.
"I had a class with him. It's kind of funny if
we're spotted together, people say, `There goes the
two superstars from St. Peter's.' It's pretty
amazing we're both in the same school."
Mayers said that he was surprised to be able to
break the league record in the long jump two weeks
ago because the conditions at Rider weren't exactly
perfect.
"I didn't think I had a shot at the record,
because the pit at Rider wasn't good," Mayers
said. "But I was really hoping to win the
event, because I took second last year and was
second indoors. It just all came together for
me."
Even after some poking and prodding from a reporter,
Mayers still wouldn't budge and admit that he had a
special year. All he wanted to talk about was the
future and what he didn't accomplish.
"Every time I go into the football office, I
see plaques that prior St. Peter's teams did in
being No. 1 in the nation," Mayers said.
"They were No. 1 in defense and No. 1 in sacks.
I see those plaques and I want to be No. 1 myself.
That's what I'm shooting for. I also want to beat
Duquesne this year as well. We never beat them. So
I'm raising the bar higher."
