EDUCATION 'Staisioot ^toJent Student Profile: ► Warner Ray ► Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School, senior Warner Ray’s passion for running started in sixth grade. That passion has paid off. In high school, Warners run for both the cross country and track teams. He earned all-state honors in cross country for four consecutive years. In the state cross-country competition Nov. 9, he finished sixth overall, with a time of 17 minutes and 22 seconds, and the Holy Innocents’ boys team finished fourth in Class A, its highest place ever. The school’s girls’ team finished sixth, the school said. Warner has finished first among Holy Innocents’ runners in every race in which he’s competed during his four- year career, school officials said. “He and [teammate Ross Waters] have re-writ- ten our record books,” Holy Innocents’ cross-country coach Dunn Neugebau- er said. Which kind of competition is his fa vorite? “Cross country, because of the trails,” Warner said. “You are not con fined to run around a track.” That reflects what he likes to do when he’s not competing. When he’s not run ning, Warner likes to be outside. He lists his favorite activities as mountain biking, riding motorcycles and fishing. He says his favorite memo ry is the time he and his dad rode horses to Yellowstone National Park and then spent day fishing. He also enjoys hanging out with friends and doing “normal teenage stuff’ such as listening to music by country performers such as the Zac Brown Band and Keith Urban. Warner plays guitar himself. “Warner is the full package — some body who has the talent but also has one of the best work ethics on the team,” Neugebauer said. “I’ve coached him for four years now and I know him to be a rare breed that doesn’t come along often. A true joy.” Coach Stephen Jayaraj, who has coached Warner for both cross coun try and track, says that in the time he’s known Warner, he’s been “an amazing student-athlete and even better leader,” who has helped take the team “from an also-ran to a state championship con tender.” “Warner has helped to revolution ize our whole cross-country program,” Jayaraj said. “We have grown numbers, depth and overall speed of the team un der his leadership. ... Last year was the best year in our school’s history, and this year we are even better. Warner has been a huge reason why.” s Next: Warner hopes to continue running cross-country in college. He is looking at several schools, incluidng the Univer sity of Mississippi, Belmont College and College of Charleston. Do you know a standout high school student?
