Olivia McKoy Competing for 2008 Jamaican Olympic Team

Former Tech Star Gearing Up for Beijing

	McKoy with her bronze medal at the 2006 British Commonwealth Games

Aug. 7, 2008

BEIJING, China -- Louisiana Tech legend and two-time All-American Olivia McKoy will be competing in the 2008 Summer Olympics in the javelin representing the country of Jamaica.

This will be McKoy's second Olympic endeavor as she also represented Jamaica in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia.

Tech assistant coach Larry Carmichael was McKoy's coach during her years competing for the Techsters and has maintained close contact over the years.

"Olivia continues to train and compete at a high level and is an amazing athlete and person," Carmichael said. "She holds the distinction of being the highest finishing Tech woman track athlete ever in the NCAA Championships, and she finished runner-up not once, but two years in a row in 1998 and 1999."

McKoy currently holds the Jamaican National Record in the javelin with a 2005 mark of 200 feet, five inches (61.10 meters). In 2006, McKoy finished with a bronze medal in the javelin at the British Commonwealth Games.

McKoy was the Tech school record-holder in the javelin with a mark of 182-0 until fellow Jamaican Brenda Grace Hunt eclipsed that mark by winning the prestigious Texas Relays in 2005 with the current Tech school record distance of 186-8.

In 1999, McKoy led the javelin in the NCAA Championship until the final round of throws.

Carmichael said he remembers being in competition with McKoy fondly.

"I am not surprised that Olivia has continued to improve and do well," Carmichael said. "She has talent; however, it is her determination to succeed that sets her apart from most other athletes."

Grange urges athletes to stay 'drug free'
published: Wednesday | July 30, 2008

Elton Tucker, Assistant Editor - Sport

Beijing bound - Minister of Information, Culture, Youth and Sports, Olivia Grange, with the last batch of local-based athletes who left the island yesterday for the August 8-24 Beijing Olympics in China. Grange, in a meeting with the athletes at the National Arena, urged them to be extremely conscious of the important role they will play in carrying Jamaica's flag and the country's name abroad. Also seeing the athletes off was Nikolaus Price (fourth left) of sponsor Sagicor Life Jamaica.

Minister of Information, Culture, Youth and Sports, Olivia Grange, has urged Jamaica's athletes now pre-paring to compete in the August 8-24 Beijing Olympic Games to make a commitment to being drugs free.

The minister, who spoke at the Institute of Sports yesterday, just prior to the departure of the last batch of local-based athletes for the Games, said Jamaica's success on the track was breeding a lot of jealously.

"There are people out there who ... as we say in Jamaica are grudgeful and bad-minded and so they are going to spread all kind of rumours. They can't believe that Jamaica can be so great that we boast the two fastest men on earth, some of the fastest women and just recently the fastest young athlete in the world," she said.

Vigilance

Minister Grange called for extreme vigilance in the days ahead, in light of the recent revelation that a Jamaican athlete had tested positive for a banned substance. She added that "the little negatives" were minor compared to Jamaica's overall success but athletes needed to tread carefully.

"I use this opportunity to say to you that you have to be careful, you have to be vigilant and committed to being drugs free. Be careful what you take from anyone, be very observant and read the label on anything that you put to your mouth.

"We recently established the anti-doping unit and the legislation was passed in the lower house and the senate last week. Jamaica is now compliant.

"I want you to always be conscious that because you are so good that you have to be extremely conscious of the important role you play in carrying Jamaica's flag and Jamaica's name abroad. You are not only responsible to yourself in maintaining your self respect but you also are responsible to a nation ..." she concluded.

The sports minister will leave for the Games on August 11, three days after the opening ceremony and four days before track and field begins in Beijing.

Assistant manger Garth Gayle promised to 'fly the Jamaican flag high' in Beijing.

"We have an excellent coaching staff and a very experienced technical leader in Donald Quarrie. I am expecting all our athletes to do us proud and to represent us very well," Gayle said.

The local-based athletes leaving yesterday were Aleen Bailey, Rosemarie Whyte, Bobby Gaye Wilkins, Allodin Fothergill, Olivia McKoy, Anastasia Le-Roy and Herbert McGregor. They are accompanied by assistant manager Garth Gayle and coaches Bert Cameron, Edward Hector and Michael Clarke.

The athletes will be in camp at Tianjin on the east coast of China from July 31 until August 11.

They will then move into the Athletes' Village for the start of competition on August 15.

Larry Carmichael

	Last College: Kent State
	Email: throw_far@yahoo.com
	Graduated: 1968

Larry Carmichael brought an impressive resume to Ruston, and for the past 16 years, he has exapanded it while overseeing the throwing events for both the men's and women's teams at Tech.

With over 25 years of experience in track and field, Carmichael's reputation is known throughout the country by the throwers he has developed during his tenure at Tech. Carmichael coached 1999 All-Americans April Malveo and Olivia McKoy, who scored enough combined points to place the Lady Techster's 17th in the nation at the NCAA Championships in Boise, Idaho.

Since 1991, he has coached 50 conference champions and 18 NCAA Championship Qualifiers.

Carmichael has also tutored 10 NCAA All-Americans of which three were national runner-ups. Twenty-four Tech throwers have qualified for the Regional Championships since that event was initiated in 2003.

He has coached one Olympian, Olivia McKoy who competed in the 2000 Olympics for Jamaica in the javelin throw. Additionally, April Malveo (discus) was a 2000 United State Olympic Trials finalist. Shot put and discus participant Melissa Gibbons competed in the 2002 British Commonwealth Games representing Jamacia along with McKoy. Most recently, Nadia Alexander (shot put) and Jason Morgan competed in the Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and saw success. Jason Morgan represented Jamaica at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, Japan, in the discus. McKoy also represented Jamaica at the 2005 World Championship.

Carmichael lettered four years in track at Kent State University, where he graduated in 1968 and spent time as a graduate assistant under the legendary Douglas L. Raymond. He was also the head coach of cross country and track and field at Meramec Community College in St. Louis, where he developed All-Americans in the long jump and high jump.

After leaving Meramec, Carmichael spent time as a volunteer assistant at Michigan State University while completing his doctorate in education. From 1988-91, he coached throwers at Essex High School in Vermont, where he produced 10 state champions in just four years, before arriving at Tech.

My mother and father, my aunt sisters and brothers and all my family are my strenght and shield. In good times and bad times they are there for me. I was taught to be strong and to live a God fearing life. People have tried all manner of evil but they just backfire on them. My mother always tells me that if men/women should say ill about me I should live my life so that nobody will believe them. People will say bad and some will say good. I dont care what anyone think of me 'cause everybody to me is enemy exept Jah. I dont have friends and I do want any. Friend come as friend and pose as enemy. I am a loner and I love being that way. It has worked for me since I have known myself. And I am sure it will work until I die. God is my stenght and in God I will trust and depend for every thing.
