2007 OUTLOOK: George has had his best off-season. He turned in a huge off-season in the weight room clearing 300 pounds on bench-press, power-clean, and over 500 pounds on squats. George is dedicated to improving on the success that he had last year and should be ready to breakout on the national scene.

2006: Pincock, a team captain, has been leading the sprints team as he has done the 200 and 400-meter dashes and is part of the 4x400-meter relay during the indoor season. Pincock raced pr’s in both the 200 and 400. He recorded a mark of 21.60 in the 200 in the preliminaries at the Air Force Invite. He placed fifth in the event the following day (21.75). In the 400, he earned a time of 47.94, also at the Air Force Invite. He took second in the race. At the Big 12 Championships, he took sixth in the preliminaries, but failed to score for CU as he was pushed in the final turn. As a member of the relays, he helped CU to a second-place finish at the AFA Invite (3:18.05) as the final leg. At the league championship, he helped CU to an eighth-place finish in the 4x400-meter relay (3:15.36). During the outdoor season, Pincock continued to concentrate on the 200 and 400, as well as the relays. He once again recorded pr’s in both events.

As a member of the 4x100m relay, he was part of a team that came within eight-tenths (40.3) of a second from breaking the school record of 39.5.
