The 5-foot-8, 130-pound sophomore raced to the Class 6A individual state championship this past season with a time of 16:01.4, leading the Patriots to the state title as a team. Stone also won the Crimson Classic, the Hoover Invitational and the Section 3 championships.
Stone has maintained a 4.12 GPA in the classroom. He will begin his junior year of high school this fall.
A devoted member of his church youth group, Stone has volunteered locally on behalf of the Bell Center for Early Intervention Programs. "Will is extremely hard-working and focused," said Homewood coach Lars Porter. "He's obviously gifted athletically, but it's his mental approach that separates him."
