I believe it's spelled Aidan Goltra (that's to say, with an A instead of an E).

Just a note that DO moved up from D-III to D-II this year (1/2 way into the season), for the first time in the School's 50 year-history, and was Section Champ, with the Girls D-II Section Champion and a very good State Meet performance.

Jordon, thanks for the correction. It's all good now and I linked to a more recent picture.

I have never worn arm warmers but those that do, swear by them.

No problem Anthony. 15:30 at state as the #2 man is pretty impressive.
