Stuttgart sophomore athlete Jaidan Strange’s athleticism has stood out since junior high, and Ricebirds football opponents are starting to see that.
“I think as an eighth grader he tripled jump like 44-2,” said Stuttgart coach Josh Price. “He would’ve won the state track meet in high school.”
Strange, 6-1, 170 pounds, won the high point award two springs ago at a track meet in Conway that featured teams such as Conway, Russelville and others compete. Price believes Strange has recorded a sub-11 seconds in the 100 meters.
“He won the 100 meters for eighth graders at our district track meet," Price said.
