“Daniel didn’t start out being the best when he was in middle school. But now he’s the top runner in the state and most likely our school’s valedictorian. He’s successful because he’s talented, hard-working and very clear-headed. I’ve been more impressed by him every year I’ve had the opportunity to work with him.”
