Noah Malone, a junior at Hamilton Southeastern High School, set new track and field records for the Royals in 2018. That is a big story in itself, but there is much more to this story.
Noah Malone accomplished all this while legally blind, after being diagnosed with Leber hereditary optic neuropathy in 2015. Noah splits his time between attending the Indiana School for the Blind and Visually Impaired and Hamilton Southeastern High School. He is a member of the U.S. Paralympics Track and Field Team and was named as one of the 2018 U.S. Paralympics Track and Field High School All-Americans and Male Track Athlete of the Year.
Noah Malone answered questions from board members, and when he was done, the large crowd in attendance at the meeting gave Noah a standing ovation.
