The greatest runner to ever come through McMinn County High School was Powell Grisham. He ran a 15:00 (3 mile) his senior year, which is a school record. He won Optimist, Region, and placed 3rd at State. He ran 16:13 or so at State on a very windy and rainy day with lots of mud. He also holds the school record in the 3200, placing 3rd at state with a time of 9:26. He graduated in 1989.

 

Tray Hurst and Josh Hicks (the sub 16:00 duo who led McMinn to their state title in 2002) were also great runners. Their senior year, they placed 3rd and 4th at State with times of 15:39 and 15:42. They still weren't as dominate as Powell was. Tray Hurst holds the school record in the 1600 with a 4:24 and Josh Hicks holds the 800 record with a 1:57 (he also ran a 1:55 relay split). These two also helped McMinn win the state championship in the 4X800 meter relay in 2003. They ran a 7:54 vs. Baylor for the school record and a 7:55 to win at State. Expect their school records to be broken this year!

Austin Weaver! Most dominant runner of his time. I dont think he could have beaten Bumbi, actually not even close to Bumbi, but i think if he ran against Bumbi he could have broken 15. His best was 15:19 in CC and won i believe 3 state championships. In track he won 4 state titles in the 3200 and the 1600.

 

Rob Bates would be the best athlete. Two time state champion in the decathlon and other state titles in the hurdles and long jump. Maybe Kevin Patterson if he didn't get hurt his senior year, but he is also my brother so i could be being nice to him. Another 2 time state champion in the decath with a partially torn hamstring his senior year so he couldn't perform at his best. Yet he still beat Michael Joyner. I'm going with Bates

Oh yea, I'm sure he is just going to show up in one of your classes and "diss" you. I agree with him, though. You have been all talk your whole career. Not saying you won't do it this year, I'll believe it when I see it though.
