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.
