Hall of Fame
Tickle was one of Radford's top cross country competitors ever, leading the team to an ultra-successful transition to Division I in the mid-80s. He was third at the 1983 Division II Southeast Regionals after winning the Virginia state championship as an individual and guiding Radford to a second place team finish. Behind Tickle's strong showing, Radford was second at the regionals as a team. In 1985, his second place finish at the Big South Conference championships paced Radford to the team title, and his fourth place showing in 1986 led to another Big South team championship for the Highlanders. The Dublin, Va., native won the Virginia state championship as a sophomore in 1983, was third in the regionals and competed at the NCAA Division II national meet in 1982 and 1983.
