His primary events are the pole vault, javelin, 100 hurdles and 300 hurdles. He has also participated in the high jump and is interested in the long and triple jump events. Garrett and some of the other high school athletes have also been helping some of the junior high athletes with their skills.” – Coach Joe Weymouth Become an Eagle fan today!
