December 2006

Fork Union's Track team capped off one of the school's most decorated seasons in dominating fashion Saturday by winning the State Championship for the eighteenth year in a row. Leading the way for the Blue Devil's was Brandon Caleb, who won four events in the meet and set a State record in the triple jump with a jump of 46 feet 4-1/4 inches. Caleb also won the long jump and both hurdle races. Caleb, soon to be a rising senior has now won nine State titles in his career at FUMA. For his efforts, Caleb was named the meet's M.V.P. FUMA had a big day in the distance races as well.

Recruiting website Rivals.com writer John Talman reports that Brandon Caleb may have narrowed his college choices down to a final three schools... Those three schools are Oklahoma, Georgia Tech, and Virginia Tech. Caleb, who will report for football practice at FUMA next week, has been visiting college campuses and gathering information as to how he might fit into each school's program.
