Congratulations to Dave Sykes!
Congratulations to Dave Sykes, professor of physics, who is one of four being inducted into the Fort Atkinson High School-Wisconsin Wall of Fame during this Friday’s ceremony at PremierBank Gymnasium!
Sykes was a two-time Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) Class A State high jump champion,clearing 6-feet, 9-inches his junior and senior years. He went on to earn a track and field scholarship to Drake University where he competed four years in both the high jump and triple jump. Sykes set a personal high jump mark of 7-2 1⁄4 — a Drake record he still shares with Paul Allard — but went as high as 7-3 after college while competing in open invitationals. Sykes was named Field Event Outstanding Athlete of the Year all four years at Drake, and qualified for the NCAA Track and Field Championships his senior year.
Sykes placed third in the prestigious International Prep Track and Field Invitational in Naperville, Ill., high jumping 6-10. He also ran cross country, and was named MVP after setting the school record. Read his interview with the Daily Union.

Stalking Awareness: Myth vs. Reality
MYTH: It is only considered stalking if the perpetrator is physically following you. REALITY: Stalkers use a variety of methods to monitor, harass and threaten their victims. In addition to being physically followed, stalking can include: someone learning your routine and waiting for you in places you frequently visit and the use of technology such as phones, computers, social media, GPS and cameras. Join SAVE Taskforce’s efforts to debunk common and dangerous myths by discussing the facts you learn from the LincIn posts, table tents and bathroom posters.
