His father, Joseph. Sports is what they have done together and bonded since Colton was a very small boy. They have spent almost every day out in the yard or at a field doing some type of physical activity, whether it’s running, throwing the baseball, practicing tackling drills, or javelin. He knows that his dad will always be down to drop everything and take him out in the yard or down to the field and put some work in. They do research together, looking at stats to figure out how to win.
Colton decided to exchange baseball training this year so that he could make it to Nationals for USA Track and Field. Not only did he qualify, but his first year throwing shot put he medaled at Regionals and PR'd by several meters.
