In field events, look for senior David Leong in the discus, where he finished ninth in the state. Junior Mike Applegate and senior Gabe Sipple are the shot putters, and Applegate backs up Leong in the discus. Eleven Bluebirds return from last year's regional champs, but coach Dan Baker isn't sure how he will top that. That's easier said than done. Distance and field look real strong.
Sprinters are real young.
Relay teams shouldn't be a problem. Junior Brent Grover was fourth in discus and seventh in shot put. Boone County will build around seniors Greg Threat and Jason Adkins and juniors Timmy King and Charles Clifford. Seniors Andy Seitz and David Luckhardt lead Scott. Newport Central Catholic's Williams brothers, senior Ben and sophomore Mike, should lead the team.
