Dailey And Martin Tabbed Best All-Around Athletes At CMU
Football and women's basketball players stand out among CMU athletes.

July 18, 2002

MOUNT PLEASANT - Central Michigan University football player Jesse Dailey (Cincinnati, Ohio/Fr.) has been tabbed the best all-around male athlete at CMU.

Dailey grabbed the honor after a battery of tests conducted by the strength and conditioning coaches at Central last school year. The tests include the vertical jump, the three-step vertical jump, the 40-yard dash, the pro agility test, the Reaction Agility Test (RAT), the 300 shuttle, the bench press, the squat and the clean. The RAT test is an agility test with the added component of reacting to visual stimuli.

"Our athletes continue to demonstrate that hard work in the weight room is just as important as working hard on the court or on the field," said strength and conditioning coach Greg Halberg. "With our facilities, we are able to keep our student-athletes prepared to perform at their best."

The 5-8, 175-pound cornerback turned in a 33-inch vertical jump, a 4.80 in the 40-yard dash as well as benching 315 pounds, squatting 425 pounds and cleaning 255 pounds. Breaking down his weights, Dailey benches 1.74 pounds times his weight, squats 2.35 pounds per pound and cleans 1.41 pounds per pound.

On the women's side, Kendra Martin (Muskegon/Sr.) has been dubbed the best all-around female athlete at Central.

Martin, a 5-10 guard on the women's basketball team, had a 24.5-inch vertical jump, a 29-inch three-step vertical jump, a 5.47 in the 40-yard dash and also benched 150 pounds, squatted 255 pounds and cleaned 135 pounds. Pound-per-pound, Martin benches1.01 pounds, squats 1.75 pounds and cleans just under one pound.
