Tim Seay:  

the National meet, but it would be the 1st year in 17 years that Harding did not win the chamionship. The National meet was AWESOME. Large feild and it was COLD (the race is held in mid to late November in Wissconsin). Track my junior year was up and down. I pushed myself really hard in the 800 meters, 1,500 meters. I placed 3rd in both events at the conference meet, which was a bit of a let down. I knew that I was good enough to win both events. By my senior year, I knew things were winding down. I really struggled in Cross-Country that year. The good news about that year was that Harding won the conference title back. And then there were ALL of the roomates. I had the worst luck keeping a roomate. Andrew, Chad, David, Joel and Damon. The best and longest roomate that I have had has been Beth. Going on 15 years this May. My sophomore year was a blast. Hanging out with Tony, Chandra and of course that was when I met Beth. Chandra was on the track and cross-country team and was roomate with Beth. My senior year at Hrading was tough, Beth and I were engaged and married for that year, both of us working part-time jobs and trying to finish out school. Workplace My first full-time job after college was at Pleasant Vallry Church of Christ in Van Buren, Arkansas as a Youth Minister. Pleasant Valley was like heaven on earth. What a great place to be working. The Church there was alive and growing and we absolutely loved it there. I really enjoyed working with the teens there as we went on trips together to youth events, retreats and camps. Summer of 1996 and 1997 we even made mission trips to Nicaragua. We had great friends there, Bear & Jill, Larry & Shelly, Mike & Susan and Daniel & Susan. Jim Bullock (Jimbo) was not only my co-worker but my mentor and best friend. We had great times together, especially on our days off (Mondays usually). On Mondays, Jim and I could be found on the golf course, eating Pizza or Chinese. May 1999 I began working for the Searcy Police Department. While living in Van Buren, I hung out a lot with Daniel at the Van Buren Police Department. After moving back to the Searcy area in May 1998, I decided to change my career. I have enjoyed police work since day one. Police Academy was 12 weeks long and I really enjoyed my time there studing and training but I did not like being away from Beth and Brennen that long. I worked out on the streets in patrol for 1 1/2 years before working at Searcy High School as School Resource Officer. The work as SChool Resource Officer allows me to do 2 things that I really enjoy, police work and working with kids. As school resource officer, I have plenty of opportunities to give presentations and do public speaking. Highlights in my law enforcement career include receiving the 2001 Humanitarian Service Award and 2004 Officer of the Year.
