Dawson Klein

Winfield High School

What was your most memorable meet and why?
My 8th grade outdoor state meet was the most memorable for me because I medaled in the 1600 and the 4x800 and our team won the title as well

Where did you face your biggest competition?
Any of the state meets that I've been to.

Out of all of your high school accomplishments, which stands out the most and why?
I'd say being a part of 5 team championships because many people can't say they have won any and I was lucky enough to contribute and win 5 of them.

If you could do it all over again, what would you change about your running career in high school?
I wouldn't change any of it.

What were the most difficult obstacles you had to overcome during your HS Track career?
Lots of injuries during my senior season.

What will you miss the most?
I'll miss being able to complete and the I'll also miss my friends that cross country and track gave me throughout high school

Do you have any advice for younger athletes?
Always stay positive even when things aren't looking great because if you work hard enough things will pay off

What are your post-highschool or college plans? Who would you like to say thank you to?
I plan to go to college and pursue a career in engineering. I'd like to say thank you to all of my coaches, teammates, and family for supporting me and being there for me throughout my career!
