Mike ‘Mr. Marathon’ Puto’s name will be forever attached to Friday Night Lights at Marathon Middle & High School. On Jan. 27, the Monroe County School Board voted to name the school’s football stadium the Michael H. Puto Stadium after the local celebrity and long-time school booster, pictured left center. Puto, who grew up in Marathon and attended MHS, has long supported and raised money for local schools, the school district and all things Marathon. ‘As board members, we are asked to vote on a lot of different things,’ wrote board member Sue Woltanski in a social media post announcing the honor. ‘Nothing has been easier to vote ‘yes’ on than tonight’s vote.’ CONTRIBUTED
