Since sixth grade, Argonia’s Dalton Morrison has been a part of the track team.
Now as a senior, he has done his fair share of everything and for his last hurrah, he has focused primarily on the javelin, discus, the 400 meter dash and 4×100 meter relay.
“Dalton is a heck of an all-around student athlete, he will go out of his way to help other students-athletes excel,” head coach Jon Mead said.
The senior was able to take that next step in his leadership and as an athlete.
“I’m the type of leader that isn’t afraid of failure and can adapt to anything,” Morrison said. “My seriousness for track comes from my competitiveness in anything I play, whether it is on the football field, basketball court, or on the track. My mindset before a throw or jump is to trust my practice and give it my all.”
This mindset is exactly why Morrison is successful and why he is loved in Argonia.
“My goals coming into this season were to better myself in each event and to eventually make it to state in any event,” Morrison said. “I ended up setting new PR’s for myself at almost every meet and ended up with a 152 foot throw in javelin, a 130 foot throw in discus, and a 40 foot jump in triple jump.”
