South Burlington High School to Sponsor Second Annual Nick's Run and Walk
Saturday

Former Catamount Student-Athlete Honored With Event

BURLINGTON, Vt. – The South Burlington High School community is sponsoring the
Second Annual Nick’s Run and Walk on Saturday, May 14 at Dorset Park at 8:30am.
The registration fee is $20 on race day and includes a T-shirt.

The 5K event is being held in honor of former South Burlington High School and
University of Vermont men’s cross country student-athlete Nick Methot. Methot
died unexpectedly two years ago at the age of 21.  The 2005 event features a
new half-mile kids run at 10:00am

All proceeds from the event will benefit the Nick Methot Memorial Scholarship
Fund, which will serve to benefit future student-athletes at South Burlington
High School.  Last year’s event raised over $4,000 for the fund and included
267 runners and walkers.

Registration forms can be obtained online at the South Burlington High School
Athletic Department web site (http://sbhs.sbschools.net/athletics). For more
information please contact Mike O’Day at 802-652-7005.
