He d also like to see more expansion of the weight room, particularly for cardiovascular equipment. Hehe 103-pound class. Coach Olliff compares Kacey s upper body strength to a 171-pounder s. Although he recently got a weight set installed at home, Kacey s awesome strength and muscular physique have been developed from relying on his upper body for mobility the past nine years.<br>Kacey also races in the 1500 and 3000 in track. He uses a special racing chair and pulls up the school s best times in the 3000, although under Oregon School Activities Association guidelines Kacey can t score because of the racing chair. However, he is philosophicl about such awkward times. For example,last year during a wrestling match, a frustrated opponent yelled to his coach,  How do I wrestle this freak? The remark generated penalty points, and the wrestler s coach immediately pulled him from te match.<br> That s the only kid that had that bad of an attitude, says Kacey.  Instead of shutting up and figuring out how to wrestle me, the kid just said someting stupid. He just showed very poor sportsmanship.<br> I ve heard that a lot of kids are kind of scared of me at first. I understand---I m a little careful around the handicapped to, a little reluctant. It s a normal reation to something differnt, until you get to understand it better. <br><br>Inspiring Others<br><br>Kacey has plenty of other activities besides sports. He sings in the school choir, is active in the Boy Souts and is proving himself to be quite the actor as well. Last year he played the minor part of Montague in the school s production of Romeo and Juliet. This year, however, he plays the pivotal role of Puck i A Midsummer Night s Dream, another Shakespeare classic.<br>He also visits nearby elementary schools to talk about his disability and his accomplishments. It s a great way to educate and acquaint people with the fact that  disabled doesn t mean  unable. It s always uplifting to see people awed by Kacey s accomplishments and deciding to raise their own levels of achievements.  I ll probably always give the inspirational talks; my story lifts people s spirits, and I enjoy that. <br>Kacey plans to stick with wrestling though high school, maybe even college. He says he ll be looking into the Special Olympics programs and getting more involved in racing. Finishing last year with a 3.66 GPA, Kacey is academically able to have a choice in colleges, but first he plans on d get the necessary national exposure.<br><br>BFS: With the WAC having expanded to 16 teams, how has this affected track and field?<br><br>LJ: The Rocky Mountain schools have always been traditionally good in the field events and the distanjust the way you go about handling them. The important thing is how you react and deal with the problems, that's what makes you a better person. I could have used my Da
