It was a cool Saturday evening in April when students and families gathered by Wyman Lake’s pier to take pictures before prom officially kicked off at 8:00pm. Having spent nearly twenty minutes taking pictures of all varieties, four track relay teammates came together for a photo. Seniors Easton England, Owen Hussong, Hayden Moody, along with sophomore Johnny Iacobazzi stood smiling as the 4x800m relay team.
After several pictures were taken, a voice from the side said, “Now let’s get one with the number one alternate.” It was Rhett “Cowboy” Lehman. As he took his place in the middle of the four, he said, “I’m always ready at a moment’s notice.” Lehman’s mom, Erica Lehman, turned to the other parents and said, “It’s true. He is always ready.” With his signature cowboy hat, Lehman grinned at the cameras with his four other teammates.
