HIGH SPOTLIGHT
Th
pursue
port athl -to
r at Western
By DEAN SIEMON
Shelton High School senior
Michael Millard is set to grad-
uate as a three-sport athlete
with a 3.92 grade point aver-
age.
Millard said he chose to
attend Western Washington
University in Bellingham to
study for a possible career in
the medical field. His father,
Allen, and his mother, Ken-
dra, beth work as doctors in
the area. "He [Allen] made
me want to be a doctor," Mil-
lard said. "But they told me to
go into dermatology or as a specialist."
Millard was also accepted at the Universi-
ty of Washington in Seattle, but chose West-
ern Washington to walk on the men's soccer
team.
"I think it would be fun to play college soc-
cer," Millard said. He jokingly said that his
medical studies are a fall-back option if"play-
ing professional soccer fails through."
"My dad alwa 's said if I could Go pro in a
sport, I should drop school and go make mil-
lions," Millard stated.
The Shelton senior student-athlete let-
tered in boys tennis, boys basketball and
boys soccer.
Millard said he used to play baseball up
until junior high school when he and a friend
had a quad accident the sum-
mer after sixth grade when
Millard's quad launched off
his friend's.
"I flew offthe quad, landed
on my shoulder and it rolled
over me," Millard said. "Broke
my clavical, I couldn't throw
a ball as well as I could." His
friend, who jumped off his
quad just in time, had some
good news for Millard.
"Funny thing is the first
thing he said to me was 'Good
news, the quad still works,~
Michael Millard Millard said.
Outside of sports, Millard is a member of
Shelton High School's DECA, a student orga-
nization for students interested in business
administration and economics.
The one thing Millard said he will miss
about life in Shelton is the community.
"The interactions I had with the whole
community," he said. "The people are so
friendly here."
Millard said one of the best memories
about his high school days was tt Avgli
through Europe with tennis teammate, Shel-
ton senior Morgan Moran.
"But if we're going to win state [in boys
soccer] this year, that would by far be a defin-
ing moment," Millard said.
