One of the stars of the Tioga Bulldogs’ high school athletic program, senior Jayson Stogner, signed his letter of intent to continue his athletic career at the next level Tuesday.
The current Tioga ISD pole vaulting record holder was honored in front of his family, friends, coaches and peers as he committed to joining the track & field program at Baker University in Baldwin City, Kansas.
“This is a pretty proud coaching moment and proud family moment,” said Jayson’s pole vaulting coach, Chad Andrews of Texas Express Pole Vault. “… It’s really re- warding to see the kids come in the gym, flying around sideways, doing helicopters, and then figuring out the sport of pole vault, and Jayson was one of them. We’ve traveled around the country with him and his family, and it’s kind of a bonding process, so it’s not all about pole vaulting. At the end of the day, you get to grow with them, so this is a very proud moment to see him have an opportunity to keep moving forward.”
