Season Wrap-up
WOW! Isn't it funny how sometimes one simple word can capture the essence of everything you want to say. We entered the season with pretty high expectations because we returned some very talented boys from last year but to have things play out the way they did was just.... WOW!Watching Orlando McKay, Joe Tyler, Johnny Jones, Matt Bakke, and Glenn Rogers prepare the boys from lower school to varsity each day with a passion for excellence was and is...WOW! Getting to receive the Coach's Award at the State Track Meet for the team winning a championship in your 25th year as the head coach is...WOW! Having the opportunity to witness three of our guys (Barret Folk, Stephond Allmond, and Jared Davis) go 1-2-3 in the state decathlon, something that has never been done before is...WOW! Watching Barret competing simultaneously in the high jump and pole vault at the state meet with a joyful competitive spirit was...WOW! Just watching Stephond compete through 2 decathlons and the regional and state meet with a cast on his arm and a dogged determination to fight through that obstacle to compete and help the team was...WOW!
Barret and Stephond were our leading point producers throughout the year accounting for over 350 points so for the second year in a row they will share the Robert Hussey Track Most Outstanding Award. Close behind these two were Jared Davis, Keith McBride, and Elliott Bryant each scoring over a 100 points for the year.
A final WOW goes to this group of seniors for not only their physical efforts but for their heart. WIll Benton, Kyle Brown, Jared Davis, Virgil Deanes, Michael Delugach, Barret Folk, Michael Folk, Matt Grisham, and Taylor Reed were a very special group of guys and will be missed but never forgotten. Thanks does not seem to be a word that says enough.
