Allow me to intoduce Patrick Flanagan

Patrick is 9 years old and was in Mr. Jordan's 3rd grade class at St. Marks last year. Patrick is holding the All-American plaque of his great grandfather, Chris Flanagan, who was an All-American running for Notre Dame in 1927. The plaque is signed by Knute Rockne and Glenn "PoP" Warner.

Patrick and his sisters also received a special shirt this summer this is autographed by Roger Federer. It was one of the shirts that Federer wore during this years 2014 Wimbledon.

Congratulations Patrick on both your plaque and your shirt.

Another great Nick's kid.
