Our Athlete of the Week is Track & Field athlete Cooper Neal.

 

Cooper reset his school record and won the pole vault event at the Bluejay Tune-Up Invitational last Saturday. He vaulted 4.10 meters (13' 5.25").

 

"Cooper saved the best for last," noted Coach Amanda Milewski. "In a short season that included the pole vault cancelled due to inclement weather at our second meet, Cooper's talent, hard work, and mental fortitude all combined for an event-winning vault and school record. He has set the bar high for future Lynx vaulters but in doing so, left a legacy and a blueprint for the future."

 

"Cooper brought so much energy to the track and field team," affirmed Coach Justin Metzger. "Whether in practices or meets, his passion for the pole vault was apparent. His hard work and confidence in his training meant that he was well-prepared to vault at this level and beyond. We will certainly miss the excitement he brought to training and competition."

 

Congratulations Cooper!
