NCAA Tournament Features: Home Is Where The Heart Is For Arkansas’ Nkosinza Balumbu - Jun 06, 2007
posted by: Michelle
Home is where the heart is and for Arkansas track and field standout Nkosinza Balumbu, home is the Bay Area. A three-time SEC indoor and outdoor triple jump champion, Nkosinza is originally from the Democratic of Congo, but his family has since relocated to California. The youngest of 11 children, the sophomore has quickly become a team leader for the Razorbacks. Last year, Balumbu qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Sacramento, but a pulled hamstring limited him to a 26th-place finish. The championships are once again in Sacramento this spring, but will not return to the Bay Area again for the foreseeable future. With his family just a short drive from the venue, the two-time NCAA indoor all-American is healthy and ready to perform in front of his hometown crowd one last time.

Sox-Yankees happens 18 times a year; this is Figgy's second major league start in four years. Always take the chance to see something you've never seen before.
