First Track Meet of the season
March 5, 2020
While doing a handoff in the girls varsity 4x200, senior Mikala Fletcher was second leg in the event receiving the baton from junior, Bryanna Anderson. “The 4x200 is a really fun event because it only happens on relay meets so it’s fun to do it when I get the chance,” Fletcher said. “This is my last high school track season and I’m pretty eager to finish strong.”

As her time at Downey High draws to a close, Senior Arely Macedo hopes to finish her fourth and final year on the school’s track team on a strong note. With an eye for photoshop, Macedo joined newspaper at the insistence of her photography teacher and she hopes to capture a side of Downey High that is rarely seen with her pictures.
With no plans for college, Macedo plans to jump straight into the workforce as a real estate accountant. “I don’t really want to continue with school and that [an accountant] is a good job you can get without a college degree,” Macedo said. “My family has also been in that field of work for a while, so I have some experience.”

![The Commissioner of the CIF Southern Section, Rob Wigod, came to Downey High School to talk to the 1,300+ student-athletes about “Pursuing Victory with Honor” on February 13. “I came to talk to all student-athletes to make them aware of the strong impact you [they] have on any younger/upcoming student-athletes,” Wigod said. “If a child comes to your game and sees the determination and persistence in your performance, what do you think that child will do? They would want to be like you one day.”](https://www.thedowneylegend.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/sports.assembly-316x475.jpg)
