If there was a Mt. Rushmore of Ames High, Dan Flannery would be on it.
For anyone who knows the history of the school, that statement is monumental. If anything, it shows how significant the loss of Coach Flannery is to everyone associated with Ames. You will be missed coach.

Yes it’s going to be hot this week, but don’t cancel an opportunity for kids to compete when next week isn’t guaranteed for any athlete or team. If meets are allowed to happen, it may be smart to have them while it’s possible.

Maybe you should write how his recruitment should spike after high jumping 6’7” and 21-03 in Long Jump at the state meet this weekend. He was the only large class athlete to place in both events. Don’t forget about the power of multi-sport athletes.
Ames' 6'7 wing @jjkellogg3 is running with one of the nation's best teams, @adidasD1MN, and could see his recruitment spike in July as a result - report (FREE) @TravisHines21 prephoops.com/2018/05/prospe…
