Went
to Page High School in Greensboro, NC where he graduated in 1988 with a
slew of state titles,including: Cross Country (Class 4A) in 1987, the indoor
3A/4A 1000 meter title in 1987, the indoor 3A/4A mile and 2 mile in 1988,
(Still one of only 2 athletes in North Carolina history
to win all 3 titles indoors!!), and the outdoor mile in class 4A
in 1988.
Vince is known as the "Machine" in the Pantheon circle due to his running back stature.
Vince went on to run for the University of North Carolina and graduated
in 1992. The coaching staff at UNC was rumored to have been very glad that
Vince graduated because he was known as a big whiner and moaner, always
had SOMETHING to complain about. Probably stems from that UFC (Ultimate
Fighting Championship) attitude he has.
