Proud of that boy

Posted On June 3, 2008 | Filed Under Family

Last night was Senior Awards night at Paw Paw High School. Russell was presented with a Four Year Academic Honor Award. In order to get that award, you needed to be on the Honor Roll (3.5 GPA or above) for 7 consecutive semesters. That’s Freshman year, Sophomore year, Junior year and Senior year. What an accomplishment.

Russell’s had a wonderful and accomplished High School career. He lettered in Cross Country 3 years in a row. He was Captain of the Cross Country team his Junior and Senior year. Although to be fair, he was only in Cross Country for 3 years. Russell received the “Most Valuable Runner” his senior year in Cross Country. Russell also lettered 3 years in track, and became the first person in 7 years to get below 11 minutes (a 10:56) in the 3200 meters in track this year.

I know Russell is going to succeed in what ever career path he chooses, because that is just the way he is. I’m very proud of him.
