For weeks, Lakewood hurdler Tim Holmes did his best to keep his college decision a secret. But his wardrobe gave it away as soon as he walked into the school’s cafeteria Wednesday morning for his signing ceremony.

Holmes was sporting a Baylor T-shirt and hat. His entire family also had on Baylor shirts. So it was anticlimactic when Holmes sat at a table, grabbed a microphone and announced he would become a Bear.

“I already had my mind made up, so I might as well let it be known where I was going,” Holmes said.
