Roseboro Achieves College Degree by Running By DEBY JO FERGUSON Chronicl t Sports Wniw Danita Roscboro, according to Tri-Ciiy Relay Track Club Coach Lem Johnson, is a perfect example of an athlete taking full advantage of an opportunity to achieve a college degree by running for four years. Rpseboro achieved a bachelor of science in marketing from East Carolina University. She earned a track and field scholarship after run ning for seven years with Tri-City Relay. "J began my first year running with the Roadrunners, and the next year I ran with both," Roseboro said. ' "It wasj^hard decision which (team) to go with. My Roadrunners coach was also my coach in high school. Both teams helped me very much." "It was always exciting getting to the nationals," she said, "because you got to meet a lot more people and a lot of connections. 1 was offered a scholarship with several different colleges, but I decided to go to East Carolina because it was closer to home. I wanted to be inde pendent but not too far from home." During college, Roseboro let tered for four years and was named Most Valuable Player for three. She said the hardest thing about being a student athlete is to keep your focus on not only your sports but also your grades. At East Carolina, Roseboro broke several records including the 200-meter run and conference 200 meter run. She was conference champion last year in the 100- and 200-meter run, and this year she tied for first in the 100-meter run and won first place in the 200-meter run. Roseboro was also noted as one of the top female athletes competing in the CCA championship meet in the 100-meter dash, with a time of 11.7 seconds and placing second. Then she came back and demolished the field in the 200-meter dash with 23.8 seconds, which smashed her own conference record of 24.6. Roseboro is presently working part-time at Hanes Mall but is con sidering going back to school to earn her master's degree.
