My son Jesse Maye

Question
Should I try to get my son Jesse a high school track scholarship?  Jesse is running with our local YMCA summer team, and he is have a great season.  this is Jesse first time ever running on a team, and he has placed 2nd or 3rd in all of his races.  Jesse is only thirteen, and he can run the 800m in 2.17, 1500m 5.03, and 3000m 11.30.  Also, the high school that he will be attend this fall does not have a track team.

Answer
Well, first of all, his education should come first.  If there is a high school (I'm assuming a private one) that offers scholarships & has a track team, try to pursue it.  I would say he has good potential, but don't put a gold medal on him just yet.  A lot of factors come into play with athletic development.
