Coleman Prom King and Queen- Conner and Lexus!
Throwers don't often find themselves in running events larger than a 100 or 200 meter. This did not stop sophomore Matthew MacPhee from challenging himself to the two mile race at the Central Montcalm invite Friday. His determination was noticed by all in attendance, not just our Comet fans. Lap after lap he drew increasing encouragement, celebration, and eventually ecstasy as he powered his way through the run. Matt broke into a sprint for the finish line during the final 100 meters of the race, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Teams from over a dozen schools raced to meet him at the finish line. Matthew became a sensation as the celebrating crowd took pictures, begged for autographs, and joined in on the excitement of seeing someone push themselves to and past their limits. Congrats on your epic race, Matt! Pictured is the crowd still surrounding Matt a good while after his race ended.
