In the storied history of Ringgold athletics, there have been some amazing athletes to come along.
Among them are Joe Montana, Ulice Payne, Ken Griffey Sr. and many others.
However, could Ryan Pajak be the greatest of them all?
There is no doubt of that in the mind of Pajak’s coach in cross country and track, Jennifer McMichael.
She doesn’t mince her words at all.
“He is one of the greatest athletes to ever come out of Ringgold,” McMichael said. “And I have no doubt there are even greater things ahead for Ryan.”

He is proud of his accomplishments and said it means a lot that his coach believes in him to that degree.
