REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 10, 2015 indoor state in the 4 by 2 relay. We actually won that, which is the first time that Washington High School ever did that before. Then we had a tremendous year sprinting both in the 100, 200, 4 by 1, and even took the long jump to state this year. The good thing I like about it, is all of these guys are coming back next year with one more year left. We had a young man get injured this year and believe it or not he's just as fast as John. We expected to be faster than what we were last year. We not only won the regional championship and the 4 by 1 but we set the regional record. So again we appreciate you recognizing us and we appreciate these gentlemen. They are not only doing a good job on the track but a good job on the football team and in the classroom as well. Colleges are already after these gentlemen. They have done a tremendous job and we look forward to them doing a good job this upcoming year. Please pray for us and we look forward to an exciting year this upcoming year as well.

Council President Tim Scott — I agree with everything that has been said up here. There is one other thing, I know on this Council there has been back in our day some very good athletes on this Council. One thing I took away years later, didn't realize it when I was your age, was there are kids in your grade, kids younger than you, kids in elementary, and junior high that are watching you and paying attention. I didn't realize that until a couple of Christmases ago when I went back and met a younger gentleman who was following me when I was an athlete. So think about that, you are setting a great example and we are very proud of what you have done. Remember that other people are watching and following in your footsteps. Thank you so much, 0
