Junior Mikkel Ross is a resilient athletic star at Marathon High School. A multi-sport athlete, she just returned from the Florida state championship weightlifting meet with some hardware, claiming a fifth-place medal in traditional lifts for her weight class. Listen as coach Sean McDonald sits down with Ross to discuss her journey to a state championship medal, how cross country has helped her attain this goal and her ability to bounce back from a devastating knee injury 13 months ago. In addition to providing a Keys-wide roundup of the start of spring sports action, McDonald opens the podcast with a heartfelt moment of remembrance for Garrett Hughes, a former Key West High School athletic standout who passed away in a tragic shooting earlier this month.
