Norwich High School senior Blake Allender is a standout amongst his peers lettering in multiple sports for his first three years of high school.
Allender lettered in football as the starting quarterback and will letter again this year as a senior. He led the team to the playoffs for the first time in 11 years.
“It was great to get Norwich back in the playoffs but the road there was tough. Many hours were spent on the practice field as well as in the weight room by the whole team. Hopefully, the great season will lead to more success in sports as well as in the classroom,” said Allender.
The senior also lettered in basketball (3-years), track (2-years) and powerlifting (2-years).
“It means a lot to me to be recognized as the All-Seasons Sportswear Letterman of the Month as there are a lot of deserving athletes,” said Allender.
But it’s his love for sports and his teammates that really keep him going.
“My teammates mean the world to me,” said Allender. “They are my brothers on and off of the field. Being the quarterback, without all of my teammates, I would not have been able to get nominated for this award. They have pushed me to become a better athlete.”
After high school, his plan is to attend Kansas State University and major in Agribusiness.
