The March Athletes of the Month are:
Baseball-Gus Schubert-"The kid gives 110% every play. He has never played baseball before and I have seen him get hit by 100 baseballs already this season, and the kid just keeps going after his goal".
Softball-Ellie Schlieper - Ellie has been a huge asset both on and off the field. She has assisted teammates with their studies and helping them be academically accountable as well as helping the newer teammates develop the fundamental skills of softball. She has a great spirit, has shown tremendous growth physically and mentally since last year and has had solid pitching performances in both games this season. All around solid athlete for the program!
Boys Track-Austin Wike. Austin, who is new to track and field, took on the first meet of the season with a smile on his face. He had no experience in any of the events he participated in but still performed well with no complaints. Austin understands the importance of effort, attitude and being a team player.
Girls Track- Alexis Wike. Lexi has been the standard of excellence for the Blue Ridge girls track and field team these past three years. Alexis works hard at her craft not only in practices but club practices and meets as well. Alexis leads our team in total points and excels at the HJ and sprints. Lexi teaches younger girls helpful tips on starts and handoffs.
