Selby Showcase: Stockton Looks for Return to Podium

(May 14, 2022 9:00 AM) As a sophomore Grass Lake High School sprinter Andrew Stockton saw the top of the podium at the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 3 state track and field finals.

The trick is to get back there.

Stockton is one of the top sprinters in Jackson County, currently fourth in the James R. Selby listing in the 100-meter dash (11.44 seconds) and third in the 200-meter dash (23.24). 

He is also part of the Warriors’ top 10 400- and 800-meter relay teams. But the junior knows that what happened last year has nothing to do with 2022.

“I learned last year (from the senior class) to push myself to get better every day,” Stockton said. “After the first meet of the season (in 2021) we knew we had something special.”

The Warriors won a number of invitational in 2021 and eventually won the regional and state meet – doubling the number of points by the second-place team in the D-3 finals. 

“We knew we could achieve something more each week,” Stockton said of 2021.

Stockton was on the state-winning 400-meter relay team and medaled in the 800-meter relay team.

But this is 2022.

“I got a slow start because of the weather,” Stockton said. “I keep getting better every meet.”

The junior would like to get his sprint relay teams back to the state meet.

Look for Stockton and the Warriors to be near the top in Cascades Conference, regionals, and the Selby meet in the near future. 

The 2022 James R. Selby Track and Field Meet will be held at East Jackson High School on Tuesday, May 31. Pole vaulting begins at 4:30, field events at 5 p.m., and running events at 6:30 p.m.
