Student Athletes!

Here are some student athletes who received "Athlete of the Week" recognition through May! These student athletes have displayed outstanding athleticism, improvement, team spirit, and sportsmanship throughout their games.

Clare Burda (Track and Field): Clare set a personal best in the discus of 114’5” at the Pike Invitational to be the event champion. Clare has been the even champion at the Marion Invitational, the Noblesville Miller Invitational, and the Pike Invitational. This is an impressive feat! As a member of the throwing crew, Clare leads by example. She is competitive and assets the standard in the kind treatment of her coaches and teammates. Clare’s improvement as a thrower has been outstanding.

Ryan Parker (Golf): Ryan is our team captain he volunteered to clean the bus after our match because our JV team was very successful. He would not have had to. Also, Ryan showed up with very sick symptoms and decided to tough out a cold day of practice and a cold and windy day at Sandy Pines. He tied for 2nd individually in a field of 16 teams. He never complained about his illness and tried his best. Strong kid.

Macy Parker (Tennis): Macy led the team this season with a record of 10-2 on the season at #1 singles! Her leadership on and off the court are to be admired. Her positive attitude keeps everyone's spirits high.

Bryce Acree (Unified Track and Field): Bryce has worked really hard this season and has been crucial for us in the 400m race and the 4x100m relay. These are two tough races, and he always gives his everything each and every time he gets out there!

Ellyana Hyder (Softball) : Ellyana leads by example on how to be a good teammate. She is always eager to help her teammates when coaches are instructing others during practice and in between games. She is having an outstanding year on defense and at the plate.

Caden Baker (Boys Golf) : Caden won the IHSAA boys state preview at Prairie View winning by 3 strokes and tying the individual school record shooting -6 66!

Jace Trevino (B Track & Field): Jace ran in the Middle Distance Showcase at North Side High School and finished 3rd in the 800, but broke a 30 year old school record in the 800 running 1:52.19!
