Diego De León
Class of 2016
STAPLES HIGH SCHOOL
Westport, Connecticut
9th grade
Diego De León is definitely a long distance runner, for he ran the 1600 meter and the 800 meter races for the MacArthur 2016 Track and Field. Diego applied for A Better Chance, and was accepted into the A Better Chance Community School Program of Westport, where he attends and now runs for Staples High School, coached by the Track Legend Laddie Lawrence (look him up, he's like famous or something). He had a great first season of high school Cross Country, in which he PR'd in the 3K race (10:45). Staples overall had a very successful season. All three boys teams (Frosh, JV, and Varsity) won first place for their division at the end of the season, with Varsity making it to Nike Nationals. Now, for Indoor Track and Field, Diego runs the 1000 meter (PR 3:23) 1600 meter races (PR 5:37), where he is slowly but surely making progress.
