“I really felt a bigger purpose,” Dadeville High School senior Antojuan Woody said. “I was running for my friend and my team. I felt like I had wings.”
in the final day of the Class 1A-3A State Track and Field Championships came to a close at Cullman High School’s Woodard Stadium.Woody’s teammate and track team leader Philstavious Dowdell was the defending state champion after winning the 100 and 200-meter dash titles in 2022. Dadeville finished third in the state in the outdoor championships last season.
“It was really tough leaving for the section meet last week without them on the bus. Our kids are truly amazing though. Antojuan stepped forward and has been the leader, the one who really emerged in this role. Had Phil been here, we could have finished first and second in the 100 and 200. That isn’t important though. What is important is that these kids, Antojuan especially, came in to the state meet with a bigger purpose.
