The Road to the Gossage Cup

When our Advisory had finished cleaning the gutters, J’Ericson Newby and Malcom Musinguzi offered to go back with me to check for trash. As we checked, they also went along and checked that all the screws were tightened and tightened any that were loose. Thank you for your KINDNESS!!

Sophie Pittman demonstrated KINDNESS when she cleaned out the cubbies in our Advisory space.

Our very own Senior, Teri Pridgen, wrote her name in the history books by winning a National Championship in the 60m Hurdles at the Adidas Indoor Nationals in Virginia Beach. Not only did she win, but she won in a meet record time of 7.65 seconds!

On top of that, she threw in a 4th place finish in the 60m less than ½ hour later for a second All-American designation!

WATCH HER RACE HERE!!
