After finishing second in the 200 meter sprint at the 4A state meet, Stuttgart’s Danyelle Poole competed at the Meet of Champions last Saturday at Harding University. Competing against high schoolers from all classifications in the state, Poole finished fifth overall.
While a fifth-place finish against the best runners in the state is certainly an impressive feat, Poole’s accomplishment is even more jaw-dropping as she competed this year as a freshman.
“We are expecting a lot out of Danyelle over the next three years,” said Stuttgart Ricebirds track coach Alex Holt.
Poole missed becoming a 4A state champion by a mere .01 of a second, losing to Ozark’s Anna Woolsey. Woolsey ran a 26.25 at the 4A meet while Poole ran a 26.26.
Nicholas Watson was 6 years old before he formed a complete sentence. However, fast forward 10 plus years later and he currently holds the at Arkansas High School for the highest GPA of a 4.8!
We ve seen a lot of press about Watson, and to be honest. I may be just a bit star struck to meet this young man. Not only did he set an ACADEMIC (heavy on the academic) record at AHS, he also received $1.5 million in scholarship offers that included SMU, Baylor, TSU, LSU, Fayetteville, and of course
Harding University, where he chose to attend and study electrical engineering and play basketball, which he admits in an interview with Fox Sports is his first love.
