Grayson County High School’s Raigan Cave and Chandler McCrady have been named winners of the KHSAA Triple Threat award.
The award, which began following the 2017-18 season, recognizes students who participate at the varsity level in KHSAA sanctioned sports during the fall, winter, and spring.
Cave was a member of the GCHS volleyball, girls’ basketball, and softball teams. McCrady took part in football, basketball, and baseball.
“In these days where some people erroneously believe that a student needs to participate in only one activity year-round to succeed,” KHSAA Commissioner Julian Tackett said about the award in 2019. “The Triple Threat Award allows us to counter that myth with nearly 1,900 great examples of kids that represent their school all year long as multi-sport student-athletes. Every study published continues to prove that much more damage is done by sport specialization than benefit is gained, and we will continue to emphasize that point.”
The pair of graduating seniors become the third and fourth winners for GCHS respectively. In 2019, Laura Vincent and Kaylee Masden were both recognized for competing in three sports.
