ogan McDaniel and Brock Thompson
made quite a name for themselves
last track season.  Logan was a Denton
High Bronco that could jump out-of-sight,
earning the district championship in the
long jump.  Across town at Guyer High,
Brock sprinted his way to a spot at the
regional meet in the 100 and 200 meters.  
Next year, Denton ISD’s track superstars will
take their talents north to one of the best
12
schools in America - Columbia University.  
“I went up to my official visit in New York
City and I just loved it,” Brock said.   “The
more I see it and the more I think about it…
I’m excited. New York City with the number
of internships and everything there, that’s
what really drew me to it.  While college is
only four years, those experiences and the
people that I can meet will last a lot longer.”
