This future Army athlete has plenty of motivation to serve his country and compete for the Black Knights.
Adis Hamidovic, a senior at Bloomington North High School in Indiana, has committed to throw for the Army track and field team. He's determined to follow in the footsteps of his mom, Sara, who played multiple sports for Army in the early 2000s. He'll join a Army track program led by coach Mike Smith, who has been named Patriot League Men's Coach of the Year five times since coming to West Point in 2014.
Hamidovic is one of the best throwers in Indiana and could be set up for a big performance this weekend at the IHSAA track and field finals. He took first in the discus (185 feet, one inch) and third in the shot put (56 feet, 7.5 inches) at last week's regional meet. He enters Friday's finals ranked third in the discus and 11th in the shot put.
Sara is bursting with pride over the choice her son has made about his future.
At the same time, it's hard to keep from crying when she talks about exactly where his decision could lead him. She knows firsthand — and it scares the ***** out of her.
