The Rundown
Some on this list might start their careers hot out of the gates, running sub-16 as a freshman. Some may begin slowly and have a massive leap. Sam has had the more boring approach, and by boring, I mean he’s been able to rack up medal after medal, honor after honor. The past two years have contained plenty of them as he’s worked his way from the mid-16’s to the high-15’s. High placings at Portage, wins at Shepherd and Sparta, have all led to championship seasons where he’s picked up a regional championship and two All-States. What’ll happen next? We know he’s got championship experience and everything is on the table…
