The milesplit records don't really tell the whole story.

Luke Woods runs a leg on the school record 4x400 relay team. He has run a 53 split in the relay. He also provides great leadership to the team. Luke hates running 400s but saw an opportunity to help the team and stepped up and is a quarter of a relay that will have an opportunity to go to state and is ranked a close 3rd in the region and 31st in the state. Luke also competes in the 100 and two relays. He can pretty much compete at a high level at whatever he wants.....Oh yeah he is a GSP kid along with competing in three varsity sports.

Sean Hickey was improving and his times falling and the 4x100 and 4x200 teams were highly ranked before he was injured and his season ended. Once again this does not tell the whole story. Sean still attends practice and supports his team by traveling to every meet.

Safe to say that the leadership qualities that these two young men exhibit will translate well to the football field and there is not a coach alive who would not love to have these types of kids on their teams.

These two kids are just a very small sampling of the type of kids that Whitley is developing to build a winning program. Coach Chappell sees that sharing athletes and football players competing in track and other sports makes them better football players. This is going to a fun season for the Colonels. A challenging schedule, a bunch of hardworking kids, a dedicated coaching staff.....really looking forward to football season.
