He’s a senior at South Whidbey.
He’s a son to Ann Votova and Mike Myatt.
He’s a brother.

Berger, a sophomore at South Whidbey, finished fourth in the shot put at the 2A state track and field meet on May 27 at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma. Her coaches suggested for her to focus on her aim, not throwing her farthest.
