LET'S GO MORTON!

Join us this Friday at 7:00 AM at Morton High School as we send off two of our outstanding student athletes, Michael Walker Jr. and Jaron Jones, with a special Hammond Police Department es**rt as they head to the IHSAA State Finals!

Michael and Jaron have earned their place among Indiana's best, competing in the 100 Meter Dash, with Michael also qualifying for the 200 Meter Dash. Both athletes enter the State Finals as top seeded competitors after posting some of the fastest times in Indiana this season.

Michael's remarkable year has already included:
🏅 New Balance Indoor Nationals All American
🥈 Indiana Indoor State Runner Up in the 60 Meter Dash
🏃‍♂️ Qualification for New Balance Outdoor Nationals this summer

The excitement extends beyond this season. School City of Hammond has a rich track and field tradition, yet only two boys track and field state championships have been won in the past 40 years. Since Morton High School opened in 1968, only one Morton athlete has captured an individual state title: Tim Sirbek in the 3200 Meter Run in 2005.

This weekend, Michael and Jaron have the opportunity to make history.

From Lafayette Elementary School to Irving Elementary School, from Scott Middle School to Morton High School, these are OUR students, OUR athletes, and OUR pride.

A special congratulations to Head Coach Gardner and the entire coaching staff for their dedication and commitment to restoring Hammond track and field to the state's biggest stage.

We are proud of you, Michael and Jaron. The entire School City of Hammond community is behind you!

❤️💙 Good luck at State! Bring home the hardware!
