May 7th – May 13th -Clay Peyton of Wamego High School |
|
It’s that time of the year where high school athletes from around the spring sports nation compete for the opportunity to get into the state tournament in their respective sports. It’s not all about the guys you may expect to be at a higher level then some. However it’s about the athletes who show up to practice everyday and give it there all to be the best athlete they can be. Clay Peyton is a senior at Wamego High School and for four years he has been on the track and field team. His head coach, Rick Patton, calls Clay an outstanding individual who has been a consistent four year athlete. In his senior year, he was shut down for a little bit of time because of a shin injury, but he came back strong and is now competing at his best preparing for a chance at state. In the NCKL meet, Clay got first place in both the long jump and the triple jump and is now competing at his highest level at the right time of the season. Congratulations to Clay Peyton of Wamego High School, the McDonald’s / KMAN “Student Athlete of the Week!”
