8 GOLD AND BLACK ILLUSTRATED A.J. Hammons Boiler Index: Flaming Hammons is in rare company, one of only three Big Ten players in league his- tory to record at least 1,400 points, 825 rebounds and 300 blocks in his ca- reer. The others? Herb Williams (Ohio State) and Joe Barry Carroll (Purdue). As of Feb. 22, Hammons needed only 23 points, 34 rebounds and 24 blocks to become the first player in the Big Ten to have 1,500, 900 and 350 for a career. Savannah Carson Boiler Index: Steaming The junior is hitting her stride, with her best long jump distance of 21-feet, 0.50-inch- es, the second-best mark in Purdue history and the seventh-best colle- giate mark nationally during the indoor season. And she can run too; Carson's time of 7.32 seconds is a school record in the 60 meters and also ranks 15th in the country this year. Chad Welch Boiler Index: Smoldering Welch has had an outstanding senior season, putting together a record of 25-5 and climbing to eighth in the country at 165 pounds as of mid-Feb- ruary. He — and his two brothers — has helped the Boilermakers into the national top 25, sitting No. 23 as of mid-February, with their sights on making noise in the Big Ten and NCAA championships. — Kyle Charters Boiler Index Remember When … This cover in February 2005 high- lighted Joe Tiller's haul in the state of Indiana that year. Eight players were featured, and though stars J.B. Paxson and Selwyn Lymon never materialized into greatness, five made significant contributions to the program, including Joey El- liott, Frank Halliburton, Mike Neal, Jason Werner and Jared Zwilling. Not a bad percentage of success.
