The SB REPORT: The Jack Kelly Award

 
 

 

 

 

The Jack Kelly Award is given to the top boys runner in the state

Previous Winner

2010: Silas Eastman Fryeburg

Christian Bale starred as lead Newsie Jack Kelly in the Disney film The Newsies. The film follows the life of the Newsies as they make a living selling news papers in New York in the year of 1899. Jack Kelly is the main vocal leader of the group. His dream has always been to run away from the refuge and live in Santa Fe where he can reunite with his parents. He and the Newsies form a strike against Joseph Pulitzer and William Hearst because they raised the distribution price of the papers, and the Newsies make a living off of selling papers. Jack Kelly gets every Newsie in New York to turn against Pulitzer and Hearst to try to make a stop with this. With the help of his friends, and his singing voice, Jack Kelly beats Pulitzer and Hearst and they lower the distribution price. Kelly has the option to go to Santa Fe at the end of the movie, but chooses to stay in New York because he felt like he was a part of a family there. Jack Kelly is the true definition of a leader.

Matt McClintock Madison

SB: 15:38.00

 

Matt McClintock of Madison was flat out the most dominant runner in the state this year. His season was highlighted at the Class C state meet as he became only the seventh athlete to tun under 16 minutes on the Twinbrook course running a time of 15:52. McClintock rolled through the competition this year. At the Festival of Champions, McClintock pulled out a twenty second victory running a time of 16:08.07 on a day where the conditions were horrible. Last week at the New England Championships, McClintock placed third running a very fast time of 15:39. If McClintock plans to run at the Footlocker North East Regional, he may have an outside shot at a top ten finish.
