After an Illinois Class 2A state championship last year in the triple jump, a runner-up finish in the long jump and third-place finish in the high jump, Deloach has returned hungrier than ever to secure a "triple crown" for jumpers this year.
"Of course," Deloach said. "I'm trying to get that triple crown this year and improve on what I did last year."
"He's a very mature kid who listens," Millsap said. "He follows things and you don't have to repeat things to him over and over. When you say it once, he's got it. He's a very hard worker."
Deloach, who already has signed his letter of intent to play football at the University of Missouri, was an all-conference football standout and an all-state wrestler, finishing fifth at 170 pounds in Class 2A.
While he was honing his football and wrestling skills, Deloach always had an eye on track knowing his team could be on the verge of competing for a state title.
