Danny Conlisk
Student Board Member

Danny Conlisk

Danny is a Senior, Class of 2019, who has ran his way through high school going to STATE 4 times so far in Track & Field and Cross Country. His plans are to continue running in college as he pursues an engineering degree. His favorite subject in school is chemistry.

"I have enjoyed being a student representative thus far, it has been a good experience. I provide information from our school to the school district board meetings to keep them up to date. I am spending this summer traveling Washington by competing in Track & Field Club competitions, the goal is to make Nationals which will be held in North Carolina." My favorite part about participating in HS Track & Field besides running, are the people! It's not just getting to run with GREAT people, I get to meet a lot of fun people at Track Meets.
