Sitting in the East Aurora gym prior to a Tomcats basketball practice, Mike McCallister said that he thought track would be the sport that his son, Ryan Boatright, would excel in.
As Boatright hit the court and began lofting jump shots, McCallister noted Boatright's family tree of track stars, including current Arkansas All-American and aunt Tominique Boatright.
Also an accomplished junior high running back, the Tomcats' freshman point guard decided against suiting up for the football team this past fall in order to get ready for varsity basketball. But McCallister said if his son wants to return to the gridiron in the future, he's all for it.
Boatright will continue to compete in track however, high jumping, long jumping and running the 400-meter dash for the Tomcats this spring.
