October 2024 Winners:

Hannah Thompson, Sr. - Volleyball

"Hannah has been a positive leader on our team. She leads our team in set assists and has a great serve. She recently surpassed the 1000th assists in her career. She doesn't get down and always encourages teammates. She represents our school well." -- Coach Laurie Bohnhoff

Alex Gordon, Jr. – Cross Country

"Not only is Alex our #1 runner for the boy’s team, he possesses great leadership qualities in practice and on each cross-country course. Alex earned a spot to the sectional XC meet by placing as the #1 individual. He has high expectations to advance to the state XC meet this year. He will most likely be a qualifier which will be his first opportunity to run at the state XC meet since jr high. Alex also earned All Apollo Honors as a top 10 finisher. So far his best time for a 3-mile course is 15:35." -- Coach Jennifer Kirk
