ROLLA, Mo.
Those of us who watched Chantae McMillan grow up here in Rolla already knew her to be a beautiful young lady.
Now that beauty is being featured in ESPN The Magazine’s 2015 ‘Body Issue.’
An All-America at both Rolla High School and later the University of Nebraska, McMillan is a track and field athlete who represented the United States in the 2012 Olympics in the heptathlon.
She graces one of six covers for ESPN The Magazine’s seventh annual ‘Body Issue,’ which was to be available online July 6 and was to hit the newsstands on Friday.
The issue’s five other covers feature Washington Nationals’ Bryce Harper, Olympian Amanda Bingson, Cleveland Cavaliers’ Kevin Love, Olympian Natalie Coughlin and New York Giants’ Odell Beckham, Jr.
McMillan’s photos in particular highlight an athletic frame that has the definition of a bodybuilder.
She is no longer that cute girl on the track or basketball court. She has indeed grown into a beautiful woman.
Pilz All-Star Saturday
Several area players are scheduled to participate in the 21st annual Gerald A. Pilz & Friends All-Star Games Saturday, on the campus of College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, just outside of Branson.
The girls’ all-star games are to begin at 6 p.m. Between the girls and boys games, inductees to the Pilz All-Star Games Hall of Fame will be announced, followed by the start of the boys’ event at around 7:30 p.m.
Competing in the boys’ event will be 5-11 guard Carter Wands from Rolla.
And on the girls’ roster includes the St. James guard duo of 5-6 Ashlee Marlatt and 5-7 Alexis Uffmann.
Also slated to play is Licking’s all-state forward Lane Duncan.
Wands helped lead the Rolla Bulldogs to one of their greatest seasons ever in 2014-15, as they finished 26-3, tied for the Ozark Conference championship, won the district tournament title and moved on to the Class 4 Quarterfinals.
Wands averaged 8.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists, shooting 80 percent from the free throw line. He will play basketball at Westminster College in Fulton.
Marlatt and Uffmann were four-year starters in the St. James Lady Tiger backcourt. This past season St. James finished 27-3, won the Four Rivers Conference title, captured the district tournament and moved on to the Class 3 Quarterfinals before falling to Buffalo in overtime.
Marlatt was a two-time all-state selection for the Lady Tigers and last season was Four Rivers Conference MVP. She averaged 19.9 points, 3.7 steals, shot 51 percent from three-point range, 81 percent from the free throw line and averaged four three-pointers per game.
Uffmann led the St. Louis area in assists for the second-straight season, averaging 8.9 assists in 2014-15. She also averaged 8.6 points and 3.8 steals.
