4 Quotes by Michael Zajac

I was the No. 1 seed the last two years in the discus at the state meet and didn't win. My sophomore year, I wasn't ready. I was kind of awe-struck. Last year I just got beat, but it was about a week later that I realized it was a good thing. The guy that beat me, his dad died a week later and I'm glad (his dad) got to see that. This year I'm going to win.

South Carolina was the first school I took my visit to and it just felt like home. They called me Mike and really made me feel welcome.

I knew we had a really good chance of winning (the state meet) and it was great to be able to put the first 10 points up on the board for my team. It would be the icing on the cake to win a second state championship. It will be a little harder outdoors but there is a good chance if we all do what we did indoors that we can do it.

You won't hear anything from me for a while. I am training really hard right now, but it's going to be a climb to get to where I want to go.
