Year: Junior

Season recap: Trying to keep the Bulldog tradition of great jumpers going, Trey Lewis was the only Bulldog to leave the 2010 Class 3 MSHSAA Track & Field State Championships with a gold medal. Lewis had the third best long jump in all classes at the state meet with a leap of 22-feet, 10-inches. He also finished second in the triple jump with a length of 46-feet, 8-inches after being pre-ranked as 11th in the event following the sectional meet. The junior's leap from being ranked 11th to a second place finish was a key component in Sikeston's fourth place finish as a team.

Lewis' comments: "That was a highlight for me. With our team placing fourth and me placing second in triple jump, I was seeded 11th and that was kind of out of nowhere. First in state in the long jump was my goal and I was happy when that happened, but second in triple jump, that was good too."

Coach's comments: "He brought a lot of excitement. He'd get the other kids pumped up and he fell into a leadership role when he started jumping well towards the end of the season. It was just an exciting time when he won state in the long jump and what he done in the triple jump. That's something about that state track meet. You find out who's going to rise to the occasion and whose going to compete. When it came time to get after it he did a tremendous job." -- Sikeston coach Terry Flannigan.
