I had no idea about the story behind your amazing competitive drive. You have played a major part as a leader in building the Westlake team this year. This season was a start to a team that will continue to grow and add to this legacy you have helped to start. Rock it out at State tomorrow!

Thank you Ms. Donaldson for an excellent article. Thank you to Coaches Robison and Durham for your examples and leadership. DIllon, you are an inspiration. The beautiful thing about running is that you can do it your whole life, but even more beautiful is that it is something that you'll always share with your dad. When you're sixty and you miss him, just go out for a run. What a neat story that's just beginning....
