Student Spotlight; DJ Holman
May 15, 2023
For this weeks Student Spotlight we are focusing on a our track and field members. I have asked Junior DJ Holman that is on our varsity team a few questions on his track experiences.
- When did you start Track?
- “I started Track in 7th Grade and have been on the High School Track Team since Freshman Year.”
- What is your favorite event in Track?
- “My favorite event in Track is Javelin.”
- What was one of your biggest strengths this season?
- “One of my biggest strengths was remaining positive under adversity. I sprained my shoulder early on in the season and my throws were suffering because of it, but I remained positive and focused throughout the rest of the year.”
- Are you wanting to further your track career in college? If so, where?
- “ I do want to further my Track career in college. Whether that means going out of state or walking on to a program doesn’t matter to me as long as the college would accept me. My dream school would be Kansas so hopefully they would.”
- Do you have any pre meet rituals?
- “I actually do have a couple of pre meet rituals I do before throwing. Before each throw, I’ll jump around and loosen up. It looks awkward to some people but I think it does help. I’ll also eat a bag of Gummy Bears and beef jerky between each event to fuel myself.”
