Sitting in a classroom all day can be hard for students and for most students they just need to find a way to release the energy. For this week’s senior spotlight, Wesley Saltsman, running is the way to exert that energy. Being a part of the track, football, cross country and basketball teams helped run off that energy. While being a member of the Bray-Doyle academic team and band, Saltsman got to use his brains and creativity. Saltsman took a minute to answer some of our questions.
