"This is what I'm going to focus on (the sprints)--no more rugby, no more football," Leed Smoole, a sophomore at La Jolla, announced to a sportswriter at the La Jolla-Canyon Hills-San Diego High School tri-meet at SDHS Thurs., April 18.
"This is what I do. You can't make a lot of money from it. Well, maybe you can. But this is what I'm going to focus on," elaborated Smoole, as he warmed up for an imminent race.
The statement carried a little zing to it, because the flowing-hair Smoole (a brotherly trait he shares with his since-graduated brother Wyn) played a critical role on the Viking varsity football team's defensive platoon in Fall 2023. This was kind of the flowering of the younger Smoole's athletic career, as he got--and continues to get--much bigger, lifted weights, matured, and began to come into his own.
