STEPHEN IS A FAMILIAR FACE IN THE
weight room at Columbia Falls High School and his dedication paid off this year as he excelled in both football and track. He’s competed in the sprints and jumps since junior high and this spring marked the first time he earned a medal at the state championship meet. In the long jump competition, he overcame nerves to land his best jump of the weekend on his first leap, 20-5.5. It held on for fourth-place. “It was intense. I had a lot of adrenaline going,” he says. He also ran on the 400 relay team, which placed fourth. Now he’s back in the weight room preparing for football season, when he hopes to develop into one of the Wildcats senior leaders.
