Meet the Athletes: Bryce Micklon, a leader on, off playing field

Bryce Micklon is one of five Fryeburg Academy seniors to play three sports all four years of high school.

“Bryce is a gifted natural athlete with great hands and great speed, stuff you can't coach,” said FA Athletic Director Sue Thurston. “When he plays you always notice him! High school sports have been rough as he blew out his knee as a sophomore in football, missed hockey and returned to be an All Star catcher. He was varsity in all three sports as a freshman. Last year, he would not have been able to play baseball in the spring as the knee (was injured). COVID-19 really hindered this process. He finally was able to have his knee redone in July in Pennsylvania, but once the doctor got in there he decided it needed more than he thought and it would require too many visits back and forth. He was sent to Boston for the repairs. This fall while he awaited a second surgery, he remained in football, on the sidelines as a valuable team member.”
