Student Spotlight; Walker Thompson

Hadlie Brady, Writer

For this weeks Student Spotlight we are focusing on a our track and field members. I have asked Senior Walker Thompson that is on our varsity team a few questions on his track experiences. 

  • What has highschool track taught you so far?
    • “High school track has taught me that even though you don’t see success at start doesn’t mean you should give up. Keep working because by the end of the year you’ll see improvements.”
  • How do you prepare for your meets?
    • “I prepare by listening to music and try to get locked in.”
  • What do you believe was one of your weaknesses this season?
    • “I feel like one of my weaknesses was setting the expectation that I was going to be at the same place I was at the end of last year.”
  • Do you have any advice for younger kids wanting to start Track and field? 
    • “I would tell them that it doesn’t matter what events you’re doing but you need to give it your all and you need to do it everyday.”
  • What is a favorite memory you have from this year’s season? 
    • When we ran at league for our 4x400m team. We said that we wanted to compete and get a good time. Every single one of us got a PR and we were all excited because we did something together as a relay team.”
