This has been a popular feature in years past and now that the season is over, we want to invite all seniors to participate in our "Salute To Seniors" interview series. These Q&As highlight the Senior class as they move on to bigger and better things, and give seniors in the state a chance to share their stories and experiences.
You can send in your answers a few ways, either by answering the questions below in a Q&A format, writing out your own responses in a story, or even by shooting a short video to say "thank you" to the people who have impacted you the most.
E-mail your responses along with some pictures (with credits) to irv.is.009@gmail.com. Pictures should preferably be from MileSplit or ones that we have permission to use from whomever took the photos.
If you are an Arizona high school senior cross county / track and field athlete, feel free to participate.
