"Aaron is a highly motivated, hard working student athlete who is successful because of the time and effort he puts into everything he does. He owns every weight room record for throwers at EIU and is a member of our “Iron Panther Club”. He always has a great attitude and work ethic. He leads by example in the weight room, on the field and in the classroom. The EIU track & field team has won the conference in-door and out-door championship in each of his seasons at Eastern. Aaron was the 2004 Ohio Valley Conference Champion and NCAA regional qualifier in the Javelin. He is a two time all OVC team member. He also maintains a 3.8 GPA and has served as president of the student athlete advisory committee. I am sure Aaron will have a successful senior season and continue that success into whatever he pursues after college."
