Hey! Anybody else remember Samantha Litten?

It is coming up on ten years ago that the above photo was taken outside of an Orlando, FL, bowling alley. Here’s the story behind it.

The girl in the middle is Samantha “Sammie” Litten. In 1993 she was a Sophomore at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, having transferred from the University of Kentucky. She was a member of the cheer squad at UCF, and at 4′ 7½” tall she was the tiniest girl on the squad.

One day in August after a practice, the cheerleaders decided to go to a local bowling alley . They went there, not knowing that the school’s women’s volleyball team was going to be bowling there as well. Someone noticed the tremendous height difference between the tallest volleyball players (6′ 5″ and 6′ 4″) and petite Sammie, and thought it would be cute to take a photo of the three women, Sanatha staning between the gargantuan volleyball players.

Thephoto went viral at the time, showing up on a slew of sports sites. The three girls appeared on a local TV norning show to share the story of the photo going viral: one of the volleyball players reported that a teammate from Israel was contacted by friend in her home country and tp;d, “Hey, two of your teammates are here on a website with a really short girl”, making it clear the photo had gone viral around the world.

There is sonething about this that I had to wonder about, and still wonder about to this day.

The University of Central Florida has a football team, but it is not exactly known for championship teams (in fact, Samantha’s senior year, the team went winless). The year this picture went viral wa a MAJOR exception. The Knights won games right and left, including  their game against big bad conference rival Penn State. In fact, their only loss that season was a 3-point loss to South Carolina. UCF qualified ti okay in a post season bowl game, and (in what was regarded as an upset) they won against Baylor.

I’m not saying that the school’s 5½-foot-ta;; volleyball players or their 4½-foot-tall cheerleader were some sort of good luck charm. But I have to wonder, the photo caused a lot of people (myself included) to pay a lot more attention to a school that was usually considered an also-ran among college teams. Could all of that attention and positive energy been just what the Knights needed to push them from a “pretty good” team to a championship calibre team?

The above photo spawned a few replies, by the way. Someone photoshopped it to make Sammie the same height as the volleyball players. There was also a photo of the three women in formal dresses as they prepared to take part in the UCF sports banquet that year. The original picture is still on the Internet, though not as much “all over the place” as it was in 2013.

Here’s another photo of teeny-tiny Samantha Litten in a teeny-tiny bikini, holding a REALLY teeny-tiny shark:
