Senior Mike Valle was dubbed Wareham High School’s “most athletic” this year for senior superlatives, and for a very good reason. Mike has played football for our school for four years, two years of basketball and has been running spring track since 8th grade and winter track since last year.

Mike began running track in eighth grade because “Ray Brown and Darryl Foote said it would be fun. Then, I found out I was good at it.” said Valle. But the makings of a track star were apparent all the way back in fourth grade when Mike won first place for the 100 meter dash. When I asked Mike what he does to prepare before a race he told me, “I like to talk trash to the opponents.” Apparently, it works for him. Mike placed 2nd in the conference sophomore year and junior year got first place in the 200. Mike hurt his knee last year, but it wasn’t enough that could stop him from running.

Mike is in student council and Best Buddies. His future goals are to win the conference, be top ten in states and break the school record for the 200 meter dash. Mike also plans to continue running once in college.
