Albaugh happy as 4-sport athlete

Wed - 23 Mar Written by Jim Ecker

Dusty AlbaughDusty Albaugh likes getting the baton for the anchor leg of a relay in a tight race. For him, it's the best part of running for the Marion High School track team.

"When the third guy comes around and it's really close and then you get the baton, I like that feeling," he said. "I like being the guy that has to run last and has to catch up or has to keep the lead. It's kind of nice."

Albaugh also likes the change of seasons. That's kind of nice, too, especially for Marion High School. He's one of the top four-sport athletes in the state and has starred for the Indians in football, basketball, track and baseball.

He's had his share of bumps and bruises - a hip flexor problem last spring, a shoulder injury last fall - but he takes little time off between seasons.

"Either I'm in an ice bath or the hot tub, most of the time," he said, laughing. "And this summer is going to be even more hectic."
