It was a solid high school career when you leave your name on four classification records, as Sierra Williams did when she graduated in 2012. Photo by Alan Versaw.
3A is the classification where a few big names have left a lot marks on the board--names like Sierra Williams, Alex Mead, Bret Schoolmeester, Mason Finley, and Alexa Chacon. And, you will also find the name of 2004 Olympic silver medalist Matt Hemingway on the 3A classification records.
Unlike 2A, 3A seems not to be plagued by any records that don't seem to fit as 3A records.
