Awesome for Derby!!! Good for the school!!! Nice job kids and coaches.
Some future DHS HOF contenders…great job, Big Red!
That boy shouldn’t be running against girls unless he is tested for testosterone levels. He’s going to be setting records and stealing medals from the girls for 3 more years. Completely unfair.
Congrats to the Derby athletes. Awesome what Coach Nick is doing there with such a small enrollment.
