Prometheus Delacerda
Senior, Key West
Cross Country
“He has big goals and has no problem putting in the work to get there.” – Keara McGraw, Key West cross country coach
Key West’s Prometheus Delacerda wanted his final season with the cross country team to be a positive one, so instead of waiting to hear his marching orders, he took matters into his own hands. Delacerda quietly set about putting his team in position to be the best this season, and head coach Keara McGraw could not be more grateful.
“He’s a gem. Outside of being one of the hardest workers I’ve coached, he’s a great student athlete who has stepped up as the leader on the team this year to help guide the younger athletes,” she said. “The best part about Prometheus is that he is unapologetically his own person at all times.”
Delacerda’s talents, according to his coach, are diverse. Described as the team’s lead motivator, workhorse, photographer, designer and inspiration, the senior has made a lasting impact in a year which began as a rebuild and ended with success. On the course, his times dropped all season long, and off the course, his leadership helped steer the team in the right direction. For his positive contributions to the team, unwavering support and dedication and impact during the season, Prometheus Delacerda is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.
