Former Husky, Ian Brooks qualified as an NCAA DII All American yesterday. Ian placed 8th in the NCAA DII track and field championships in Bradenton, FL. Ian is the second Husky trackster to earn the title of All American since I've been at HHS, the first was Lucais MacKay, who won the NCAA DI hammer title at University of Georgia.Ian had a very good 4 years at Hughson, but was often slowed by illness and injury at exactly the wrong time. Despite being on 2 teams that qualified for state, he never got to toe the line in Fresno. For those of you who would like a little inspiration to keep working hard, here are Ian's times at HHS.
Cross Country 5k - 17:12 @ Legion Park
800 - 1:56.34 @ the Golden West Invitational
1600 - 4:32 @ Brett Harte Invitational
His 800 time is pretty good :), but I'd say we have a number of boys capable of matching his best cross country times this year.
Congratulations to Ian and to all of the Stanislaus State athletes. Those guys are killing it!
