Monroe High School track star Stephen Blunt has been named the Region Boys Track and Field Athlete of the Year by the Monroe News.  So what did he accomplish to earn the honor?  According to the Monroe News, “He set a school record in the 100-meter dash. Won the 100 and the 200 in the team state meet, was a Regional champions, won Track Athlete of the Meet honors at the Mason Invitational, ran anchor on the state champion 800 relay team that set a Monroe County Region record and was part of a state runner-up 400 relay that also broke the record.  The secret to his success?  Stephen told the Monroe News “he usually listen to slow hip-hop music until about a minute before a race ‘just to calm myself down and not get overly excited.” He plans to run track in college, study criminal justice and possible become a border/customs agent.  His teammate Corey Goodloe also was considered for the Track Athlete of the year honor.
