Talk:Joel McNulty

Untitled
U. of Illinois intercollegiate American amatuer hurdler Joel McNulty won Big Ten Conference titles in his sport THREE times. Winning THREE Big Ten Conference titles in any event(s) is certainly an absolutely extraordinary accomplishment in the amatuer sports world. Winning one such competition is noteworthy. Mr. McNulty's record certainly well surpasses that of Eastonian amatuer hurdler Aarne Nirk, who is also not an Olympian, who also holds no World records of any kind, whose only notable competitions are 2 Universiade (2009, 2011), in which he didn't come close to even placing, and, yet, who warrants an entry in the Wikipedia. Mr. McNulty's accomplishments in the amatuer hurding world are not incomparable to those of another Wikipedia entry, that is U.S.C. intercollegiate American amatuer hurdler Dick Attlesey, who was also active in the 1950's and who was also not an Olympic competitor. While Mr. Attlesey set 2 World records in lesser Pan American Games, he failed to win a single Big Ten Conference intercollegiate title. He only once placed second in a Big Ten Conference hurdling competition. These comparisons should establish that Mr. McNulty is notable enough historically as a world class amatuer hurdler to warrant an entry in the Wikipedia. That Joel McNulty is already included in Wikipedia's List of hurdlers is also noteworthy. I would think that the comparisons also go a long way towards justifying the citizendia remark that Mr. McNulty is "one of America's great amatuer hurdlers"; however, as such an endorsement could be considered by some few as too arbitrary/subjective, I have removed it from the article.
