New track named after legendary Dave Klicker

School board members approved naming the new new track at Walla Walla High School the Dave Klicker Memorial Track and Field. Last month, board members were presented with two options from a pool of eight to consider. Approximately 72 percent of the 637 survey participants voted to name it after Klicker. Walla Walla High School Principal Pete Peterson facilitated the nomination process. A ceremony will be conducted in the spring to honor Klicker. Klicker was a standout athlete at Walla Walla High School. He also taught and coached in district for years.
