Dorsey senior Adam McKinney is a dual-sport athlete, playing football at Santee and joining the Dorsey Dons in time for track season.

The talent of his teammates inspired McKinney to push himself while track coach Ken Matthews advised him to commit to the process of improving.

“I always struggled with confidence as an athlete, coach Ken he taught me to love myself,” McKinney said.

McKinney noted how other students look up to athletes for excelling in their classes while competing for the school.

His coaches at Santee and Dorsey were there to help McKinney get through problems that would arise.
