After flying more than 100,000 miles and competing in 23 meets, including the Olympic Games, NSU alumnus Kenta Bell is looking forward to Homecoming weekend.
He's been home in Atlanta (Ga.) with wife Lakeisha for more than a week now after his final Asian swing. His last competition was back in China, where he and other athletes were VIP guests at a swanky shindig hosted by China's superstar basketball giant, Yao Ming.
The Bells are planning to make it back to Natchitoches for Homecoming, and he plans to return in November to get in some training with NSU assistant coach Dean Johnson, whom Kenta considers his jumping guru. He said that he competes and trains by the WWDD rule -- "what would Dean do?"
Kenta also says the Bells are among those in the Atlanta metroplex making very careful plans about driving as there is a gasoline shortage there.
"But still, there's no place like America," he said. "Believe me, I know."
