THE STORY BEHIND THE NICKNAME:
During the spring track season of my senior year of high school, I ran some decent 3200 meter times which ranked myself with the best of the State of New York. A State-wide ranking is then sent out across the State to the Coaches of every high school track program. When this publication came out, my Coach pointed out that they included my nickname. Upon hearing so, I said "Coach, I don't have a nickname." and he replied, "Well, you do now 'Ramjet'!". Either my name was butchered severely or the editors of the publication were having some fun with me. My name appeared as "'Ramjet' Rickart". Ever since then I have been known by my close personal friends as "Ramjet".
