Vitals: Buchanan, senior

Need to know: The student-athlete so bright he could have passed on his senior year to attend USC on academic scholarship placed fourth in the section (15:47) and 31st in the state (15:44).

He’s a repeat Bee All-Star, having placed fifth in the section (15:53) as a junior.

The word: “He’s the most intelligent kid I’ve ever had a chance to coach. USC has a special program they offer to students because of high scores on the SAT and PSAT. He said, ‘No,’ to USC because he wanted to be with our team. I did have high expectations for him, but I didn’t want to put too much pressure on him after he got hurt as a freshman. He’s such a talent he doesn’t realize how tough he is.” Buchanan coach Marty Simpson said.
