Spencer Marvin, a ninth-grade student at Salem Junior High School, has organized the construction of a track and field discus ring at his school as his Eagle Scout Project. “I was really impressed with how he just took off and went,” said SaJHS Head Track and Field Coach Jordan Blanchard. Spencer organized the discus ring’s design, measured and surveyed, secured donations and materials, and oversaw skilled labor to complete the project properly. He was introduced to a cheering team of 200 SaJHS track and field athletes last Monday who thanked him for his efforts. Throws Coach Rockie Beatty added, “The great thing about his project is that it will benefit so many athletes for years to come.”
