When Kyle Haskell’s legs begin to ache, and his lungs start to burn as he pours his all into another grueling mile or 2-mile race, the Andover High star calls upon the training that has instilled in him perseverance and, above all else, the resolve to finish every job.
“I’m a rising Eagle Scout,” said Haskell. “The life lessons from Scouts has translated to success in track in a major way. Through Scouts I’ve learned the importance of dedication and continuing to work no matter what. Ranks and badges didn’t come at the snap of my finger. Working through the younger ranks of Scouting is just like building up your endurance at the start of your running career, it’s slow and it takes a ton of work, but once you start to accomplish your goals, the eagerness only grows.”
