State Champion spotlight: Trever Gray Waterville HS
Waterville senior Trever Gray repeated as Class B shot put champion with his throw of 52-7 3/4. Gray went on to finish as the New England runner-up 2 weeks later. We caught with him to talk about his preparation, winning states back to back, an his goals for the outdoor season.
What were your preparations leading up to the state meet?
How did you deal with the pressure and emotions that come along with competing in a state meet?
I didn't feel pressured heading into the meet, I know I am capable of big throws. I just knew I needed to stay relaxed.
You lost the KVAC Shot Put the week before the state meet, but came back to win your second straight indoor title at the state meet. Did you do anything different at the state meet that helped you out? What does it mean to you to be a two time state champion?
Coming into the season what were your goals and did you achieve them?
You have dominated Class B throwing over the last year winning indoor/outdoor shot put titles, plus the discus. At the New England Championship you finished as the runner-upon the shot put. What did it mean to earn All-New England? and Heading into your final season what are your goals?
