Daily News | Hard work helped Marc Minichello capture the NCAA javelin championship: ‘None of this happened on accident’
Everything Marc Minichello does is calculated and measured.
“He was very interested in getting to know me right off the bat and getting to know my philosophy,” Brooks said. “He was asking questions that I couldn’t even answer at the time, but he clearly showed he was very interested in his future.” Each participant received three preliminary throws, and the top nine advanced to the finals for three more. It was Minichello’s third throw that earned him the title. He knew the distance had the potential but walked off the runway with an unsatisfied, deadpan nod.
Minichello wasn’t the most sought recruit because of his 5-foot-9, 185-pound stature. But he was pursuing Power 5 programs like Duke, Virginia, Wake Forest and North Carolina. Those four years were spent dedicating himself to his craft. Brooks says Minichello has become the program’s benchmark for what it takes to be successful. He gets to practice two hours early and is often the last one to leave.
From Minichello’s senior season in high school, his personal best climbed about 9 meters . Former Penn coach Jeff Pflaumbaum laid his foundation for three seasons. Brooks’ expertise in running and jumping during his approach helped propel him to national champion status.
