A UK student was killed in a hit-
and—run accident early yesterday while

ner‘s Office.

Connie Blount. 18. of Park City.
Utah. was walking west across South

of the Lexington Police.

Blount. a freshman. was taken to
UK Medical Center and pronounced
dead at 4:33 a.m.. said Sarah Davis,
deputy coroner at the Fayette County

Coroner‘s office.

“We’re devastated." said Jack
Blount. Connie‘s father. “We sent Con-
nie out here to get an education
and start her life. not end it.“

Davis ruled the cause of
death multiple blunt force trau-
ma due to the pedestrian being
struck bya avehicle and said
Blount sustained a great deal
of trauma to her whole body.

Police are investigating the
case as a hit~and-run incident
and are still searching for the
driver and vehicle.

Roller described the vehicle as a
light-colored Chevrolet extended cab

will not be available for one to three

As Blount's parents trav-

their oldest daughter Kelley
Krohnert went into labor in

age. She started riding when she was
IO years old‘and collected more than
150 trophies in her eight years riding.
Jack Blount said.

She was a “sweet but strong young
lady“ who was tenacious. just like her
father. said family friend Suzanne Ro-
driguez of Utah.

Excited to turn her love of horses
into a career. Blount came to UK to
study equine science and animal sci—
ence in the midst of Kentucky‘s rich
horse culture. Rodriguez said.

She brought her two horses. Luke
and Sam. to Kentucky and joined UK‘s
equestrian team.

“Connie really loved UK.“ Jack
Blount said. “She was really happy to
be here and knew a ton of people and

was really enjoying campus life."

Kathleen Reed. president of UK‘s
equestrian team. said Blount had an in—
fectious type of positive energy.

"Connie was so full of life and
would do anything for anybody." Reed
said. “She was so in tune with other
people‘s feelings. and she would sacri—
fice her sleep or her time to help out a
friend."

[Reed. a finance and business junior.
said Blount fit right in with her team-
mates. who often spent time together
outside of the stables.

Jenna Howe. also on the equestrian
team. said Blount was a dear friend who
brought happiness to those around her.

'Perlect
diving
coach'

dead at 51

By Leila Kelegi
|kalegi@kykernel.com

Mike Lyden. the UK diving
coach since 1993 who led the pro—
gram to its first national champi-
onship. died Friday after a two—year
fight with cancer. He was 51.

"Mike was the perfect diving
coach." head swimming coach Gary
Conelly said. “From the very begin-
ning he struck me as a guy with a lot

of passion (for
diving)."

Conelly said
he formed a close
friendship with
Lyden over the
years. both on and
off the pool deck.

“What 1 al-
ways admired
about Mike was
he was always a
straight talker."

Conelly said. “He'd talk to his ath-
letes. sit them down. tell them what
they were doing right or wrong and
in a way that wasn‘t offensive."

Former UK Assistant Athletics
Director and Olympic gold medalist
Micki King remembers seeing Ly—
den's relationship with his divers be-
ing more than just work related.

“He Could empathize with his
divers." King said. "He knew they
could do things they didn‘t know they
could do. That empathy transcended
most diver-coach relationships.“

However. the passion and love
for diving sometimes translated to
giving his divers some tough love.
even if he didn‘t always want to be
tough on them.

“He definitely pushed me," ju-
nior diver Justin Smith said. “He's a

School. Letters written by Scaife in
his teenage years and a video of his
accomplishments and interviews
with his colleagues helped reflect
on his life.

“Ross altered the way 1 write.
and 1 cannot approach classics with-
out including something 1 learned
front him." said Terence Tunberg. a
professor who worked with Scaife in
the Department of Modem and Clas-
sical Languages. Literatures and Cul-
tures.

Scaife served as the director of'

the Collaboratory for Research in
Computing for Humanities. which
provides UK faculty with technical
assistance on humanities computing
projects. He founded The Stoa. Suda

great ideas. but he has the enthusiasm
to make those ideas come to life."
said Christopher Blackwell. a classics
professor at Furman University.

The service ended with a prayer
by Rev. Norman Fischer.

“Where can anyone even be-
gin to explain how much of a
wonderful person Connie is,"
said Howe. a special education
senior. “Full of life and full of
love. I have never met anyone
who enjoyed life like Connie.“

Blount touched the lives of
“anyone and everyone“ she
met. Howe said. After neWs
spread of her death. dozens of
friends began posting Com-

!

ments on her Facebook wall
telling her how much she was
loved and how dearly she will
be missed. Her father said hun-
dreds of people had called the
family to offer their sympathies
and let them know what a great
person she was.

Erin Whitney said she knew
something was wrong when
Blount didn‘t answer her cell
phone yesterday. Holding back
tears. Whitney explained that
Blount never turned her phone
off in case a friend or family
member needed her. She was al-
ways willing to do anything for

anyone.

Whitney and Blount became
friends in Utah through work
and went to high school togeth-

spending time with one another.

appreciates all of the support
from Connie's friends at UK
and knows many of them would

love to be with Connie as she is

[YDEN

Continued from page 1

 

tough guy — fighting cancer
proves that. He just wanted to
make you the best diver you
could be."

In October 2005. Lyden was
diagnosed with lung and brain
cancer but continued coaching. A
few months later in March 2006.
then-junior diver Taryn Ignacio
- who Lyden first coached at
age 12 - eamed UK its first na-
tional diving title with a record-
setting dive on the platform.

Ignacio will remember that
victory forever.

“Mike wasn‘t at practice
every day." Ignacio said. “But
his voice was in my head and
kept me going. I was happy to
have him there with me. and
winning made it special."

Over the years. Lyden
earned the nickname “Iron
Mike" for his grueling workouts
and overall intensity.

“Mike made me mentally
tough and mature as a person."
senior diver Kari Retrum said.

Along with his grueling
workouts. Lyden‘s work ethic
sth)d out to everyone.

“Mike. to me, was one of the
best coaches in the country,"
Ignacio said. “He'd be at the
pool all day with practice in the
moming. doing work coaches do
in the office. then practice at
night."

Lyden‘s relentless work eth-
ic —— he ‘would practice five to
six hours a day in high school.
his brother said — eventually
earned him a full ride to West-
em Michigan University, where
he graduated in 1980.

Lyden then went on to coach
at Eastern Michigan University
and Louisiana State University
before coming to UK.

During Lyden‘s career. he
earned nine Southeastern Con-
ference Diving Coach of the
Year titles. including three con-
secutive seasons from 2005 to
2007. and was named NCAA
Women's Diving Coach of the
Year in 1996. Twelve of the
divers he coached at UK earned
5] All-America selections.

Even with deteriorating
health. Lyden insisted on travel-

ing with the team to the SEC
Championships in February in
Tuscaloosa. Ala. His younger
sister Katie Lyden-Hitow made
the trip with him.

"We had to take him to
SECs." Lyden-Hitow said. “He
wanted to go."

The highlight of the trip. she
said. was after Conelly called a
team meeting. When Lyden-Hi-
tow asked her brother if he
wanted to attend. Lyden said.
“Yeah. I‘ve got to be there."

Conelly started by giving a
speech thanking everyone.
Then, Lyden stood up and
thanked Conelly. the university.
Ignacio — who had been acting
as assistant coach — and the
divers. for doing the work even
when he wasn't there for them. '

The speech earned him a
standing ovation. When Lyden-
Hitow asked him where it came
from. her brother said he wasn‘t
going to let Conelly outdo him.

After Tuscaloosa. Lyden
traveled to Columbus. Ohio. for
the women's NCAA Champi-
onships. where the swimming
and diving team placed lXth
overall. He intended to then go

to the men‘s championships in
Seattle but was persuaded not to
by family members.

"He was driven to push peo-
ple to excel. even on his death
bed." said brother Patrick Ly-
den. “He was willing to go to
Seattle to support his diver.
Stephen."

Lydcn's divers said his over—
all presence and love for the
sport will be missed.

"I‘m going to miss him on
the pool deck. the nomial pan of
my life. him coaching me. and
seeing him every day." Smith
said.

Lyden is survived by his
wife. Emily. and his three chil—
dren. Jessica. Jack and Brittany.

A public viewing will be
held today from 5 to 8 pm. at
Kerr Brothers~ Funeral Home on
Harrodsburg Road. The funeral
mass will be tomorrow at l0z30
am. at Mary Queen of the Holy
Rosary on Clays Mill Road. A
funeral at Lexington Cemetery
will follow

A luncheon will be held to
morrow at l pm. at the Joe
Craft Center on the women’s
basketball practice courts.

 

PRAYER

 

 

Continued from page 1

sophomore and coordinator of the event.
Students who are interested in joining

the prayer at UK can sign up for a one-hour
prayer shift at the tent set up on South Cam-
pus on the sidewalk outside of the Kirwin-
Blanding complex. The shift will pass from
student to student to ensure there is one per—
son praying in the tent at all times. Rempfer
said.

The goal of the prayer tent is to unify
UK’s campus. but with the anniversaries of
two campus tragedies. students will also be
able to sign banners donated by businesses
in the Lexington community to be delivered
at the end of the week to Virginia Tech and
Columbine High School.

The effects of these tragedies are mani—
fold. Rempfer said. In a positive light. the
occurrences have led campuses like UK to-
ward more effective methods of preventing
incidents like these in the future. Yet the vic-
tims. those close to them and the country as
a whole have been left with an immense
amount of grief. he said.

“They are particularly painful reminders
of how deep the pain in our generation runs.
and the unspoken truth is that this world just
can‘t heal it but there can be healing. both
personally and corporately." Rempfer said.

Rempfer hopes the week of prayer will
help the campus and the affected communi-
ties progress toward healing. In this way.
prayer will act as a preventative measure in
its own right. he said.

Ex-UK golfers shine at Masters; lmmelman wins green jacket

KERNEL WIRE SERVICES

AUGUSTA. Ga. ., Final-round
pressure at Augusta National Golf Club
is said to be unmatched by any other
golf course.

While Trevor lmmelman was able to
fight off his final-round struggles at the
Masters for his first major title. Steve
Flesch. a fomier UK golfer. was unable
to overcome the pressure yesterday.

Flesch. who was looking to become
the first golfer from Kentucky to win
the Masters since Gay Brewer won it in
1967. entered yesterday's final round in
third place at 8 under. But a o-over-par
78 knocked the Boone County native
from contention. and Flesch finished
the toumaunent ill a tie for fifth place.

Flesch had his troubles on the back
nine after a steady even-par front nine.

He had a double bogey on the par-3
l2th hole after hitting his tee shot in the
water in front of the green. Then he had
a string of four straight bogeys starting
at the 14th hole for a b-over 42 on the
back nine.

Even with the strug-
gles. Flesch had his best
finish in a major touma—
ment. His third round 67
was the lowest of the en-
tire toumatnent.

"I played well all
week." Flesch said. “I
just played nine bad
holes. and that‘s the way
I‘m going to look at it."

Another UK gradu-
ate. LB. Holmes. fin—
ished in a tie for 25th.
Holmes. playing in his
first career Masters. con—
tinued his breakthrough
season with a 4-ovcr—par 292. The for—
mer Cat won the FBR Open earlier this
year by beating PGA Tour vetera
