Athlete Name: Evan Franklin
School: Hoover High School
What was your most memorable meet and why? My most memorable meet was the Mt. Sac Relays because I was out there with my boys but it was sad that Nonnie could not make it because it was too far ):
Where did you face your biggest competition? I would definitely say the Mt Sac Relays just for the simple fact that everyone there was so good and Nonnie gave me a good pep talk before I left so I knew everything would be okay.
Out of all of your high school accomplishments which stands out the most and why? When I won the Finley award because Nonnie knew that I could do it
If you could do it all over again what would you change about your running career in high school? Nonnie told me that I could have worked harder at a younger age which I agree with.
What were the most difficult obstacles you had to overcome? I got injured during the season but I really wanted to finish out the year but it was extremely hard to continue to run.
What will you miss the most? I will for sure miss hanging out with some of my best friends a practice everyday but not being able to go home and see Nonnie after a hard workout is up there for sure.
Do you have any advice for younger athletes? Just have fun while you're out there gettin' it with your boys
What are your post-highschool or college plans? I have committed to the University Of Montevallo and will be carrying out my running career there
Who would you like to say thank you to? I would like to say thank you to Coach Devon Hind, my Mother and Father and my grandmother Nonnie:)
