The team for January was the Junior High Boys Basketball Team! Coach Taffe appreciates their effort and attention to detail in the weight room. This team's high level of effort allows them to push one another to be at their best.
For the Winter Strength and Speed Program, Nolan Myers and Anika Berscheit were named. Nolan is a sophomore who rarely misses a morning of training. For the last couple of years, Nolan has dedicated his time and energy into his athletic performance, and has been rewarded for his efforts, making great progress!
Anika is a junior, and another athlete who has been a regular to morning lifting sessions. Anika has spent a lot of time dedicated to improving her athletic abilities. Her consistency has been paying off, in an increase of strength and power.
Congratulations to all these athletes!
