Braydon Ortiz - Braydon had a career high 20 strikeouts against Centauri, and recorded all 21 outs on his own in the 7-0 win. Braydon also had a good weekend at the plate going 7 for 9.
Kree Wallace - Kree also set a new career high in stolen bases in a game where he had 5. On the weekend Kree totaled 10 stolen bases, and was 7 for 9 at the plate.
HS Track:
Boys: Kevin Nevland decided to try hurdles this year and it has become something he really enjoys. At Harrison, Kevin fell over his first hurdle earning some awesome road rash, got up, finished his heat in third of eight, and ran a :55. On Saturday, Kevin’s goal was to not fall, attack each hurdle, and run sub :50. He did all of that and ran a :49.2. Kevin has also led the team thus far in warm ups, made tremendous gains in his other events, and been a tremendous leader as a senior and as Mr Trojan on the track.
Girls: Audrey Busenitz has started her Trojan track and field season strong. She has grown in each practice and has learned a lot competing both on nice days and in 50 mph gusts. Audrey has been a staple for us in the 4x200 Relay and has been an amazing competitor in the 400m Dash. We look forward to Audrey’s growth, competitive spirit, and optimism each day.
HECTOR of the Week:
Staff - Mrs. Kailee Hines has the opportunity to teach one of the subjects that makes an impact on students. Thanks to her sacrifices to make her class better, her attention to detail, and her enthusiasm to learn more she has made a tremendous difference!
JH - Sylvana Adame-Sylvi is a fantastic example of HECTOR in junior high. She is an outstanding student-athlete. She works very hard in her classes as well as in sports. She helps her classmates and teammates. She is not afraid to try new things. She maintains a positive outlook on school and extracurricular activities. We are all very proud of how Sylvana shows HECTOR in our school!
HS - Logan Servaes is our choice for Hector of the week. Logan is always working diligently on his college classes. He is an outstanding athlete and is never disrespectful towards staff.
