Salute to Seniors- Chris Lewis

 

Name: Chris Lewis
School:Austin St.Michael's

What was your most memorable race? 

My most memorable race was the 4x4oo meter relay we ran last year when we had set the state record and ended the perfect season with the perfect win.



Who would you consider your biggest competition over your four years?  

The biggest competition over my four years was competing at Texas relays and the tapps state meet.



What was your greatest accomplishment?  

My greatest acomplishment was last year when i broke three state records and was named the most outstanding male athlete.



If you could do it all over again what would you change about your running career in high school? 

 I would have came to Saint Michael's sooner because being here has allowed me to grow so much and get a taste of what greatness can be like

.

What were the most difficult obstacles you had to overcome? 

This year in track i was not having the success in my jumps as i did last year so bouncing back from that has helped me a lot and i ended the season defending my state titles.



What will you miss the most? 

 I will miss competing with my team. This has been the best two years for track and i could not have asked to do it with any other team then the one from smca.


What advice you would give to younger athletes? 

To the younger athletes i would say always work hard and never let anything hold you back. The sky is the limit and if you dream big you can achieve big. No matter what happens always keep a positive mind and always bounce back from the worse. Always have fun because when i'm competing that is when i am the most happiest.



What influence has your coach had with respect to your performance and overall life goals?  

They have always expected great things for me. The ways in wish they have pushed me has allowed for me to strive to accomplish the goals in which they set for me. I always wanted to make them proud and do them proud. Give it all i have and leave everything out on the track and field.

 

What are your college plans? 

 I will be attending Boise State University Go Broncos



Who would you like to say thank you to?.

I would like to say thank you to everyone who has supported me and to all the coaches who have dedicated their time to help the athletes. I would like to thank our team parents because without them a lot of things wouldn't have been able to happen.
