More nominated athletes for Fall Athletics Week 1
Kaylee Kuehner and Nathalie Fuentes-Dimas (Tennis): Kaylee and Nathalie have been paired together as first doubles partners. They have learned each other's skills and needs, are great communicators, and an incredibly hard team to beat. Nathalie dominates at the net, while Kaylee can get to any shot at the baseline. It's almost impossible to get a single shot past them! I cannot wait to see how much they will grow as the season progresses.
RJay Rivera (XC): RJay is a new addition to the team this year who has worked hard since the summer to become a top runner. For the 2 league meets that we have had so far he has placed first averaging a 6:00 minute mile pace in both that has helped his team overcome BP and Scotia in team standings.
Moises Morales (Soccer): Moises has stepped up as a leader his senior year. Working hard in practice and pushing his fellow teammates, Moises had a great game last Wednesday against Scotia, with 1 goal and 1 assist.
