Phil Haig thought he was on the verge of doing something that doesn't happen too often in the demanding world of NCAA Division I athletics. Conditioning programs were preparing the former Henry Sibley High School standout to play football and baseball this year at the University of Illinois. Haig, an all-state quarterback and pitcher at Sibley, was optimistic about being a two-sport athlete in college until the rigorous schedule changed his mind.
"My body was starting to break down trying to do both sports," he said. So Haig eliminated football and put his energy into baseball at Illinois. He no longer was interested in waking up at 6:30 a.m. every weekday to lift weights for football, go to class and then report to Illinois baseball coach Dan Hartleb for more workouts. On some days, the 6-foot-3 left-hander had to participate in three-mile runs with his baseball teammates. Haig went through the dual workouts in January and February before dropping football. He made the decision after spring break in early March. ---full story on TwinCities.com--- |
