Windham Tech Student is All-American

Matt Alexander(June, 2008) Senior Matt Alexander achieved All – American honors at the Nike Outdoor Track and Field Nationals held in Greensboro, NC June 21-22.  Matt finished tied for 3rd in the pole-vault with a leap of 15 feet 8½ inches for both a personal best and school record.  It was an amazing and improbable feat in that Matt had attended graduation the night before, boarded a plane at 6am, arrived in Greenville at 10:45am, was driven to the venue by 11:05 to warm-up, competed at Noon, and accomplished his best jump by 1pm!

This was truly an unbelievable ending to his high school career.  For those of you who have followed his efforts these past four years, you have witnessed the greatest athletic performance in the school’s history as well as one of the top in the Connecticut Technical High School System.  Matt garnered 7 state titles, 2 state records, earned All-New England honors in track, as well as All-State honors twice in soccer.  Matt will be attending UConn in the fall on a partial track scholarship.

Much of this success is owed in no small part to the support of the Windham Tech community.  The teachers, coaches, administration and support staff have all contributed on some level.  Your flexibility with Matt and I made it possible to prepare him to compete at the National level the way he did.  I will always be grateful and want to thank you.
