Junior set three state marks at Para-Athlete State Championships
The most decorated athlete at the 102nd California State Track and Field Championships in Clovis wasn’t a national record setter, a super sprinter or a high-flying pole vaulter.No one else among the best track athletes in California captured three individual gold medals in state-record time.
“I was a wheelchair basketball player until at the end of my freshman year in high school when I went to a little track clinic,” said the 18-year-old Ettore. “I really didn’t think about him, I just wanted to win and get a PR . I’m on fire now. There’s a Junior Olympic event in Denver in July that my dad and I are looking into.”
Off the track, Ettore is pretty well known not because he’s a state champion but because he’s the only student allowed to use a skateboard to get from class to class. “It was a nice recognition, and the other students love him,” said Newman. “He sits on that board and it’s amazing. He’s so skilled moving around. You can imagine how difficult that is with so many students.”
