Ben is on the Varsity Tennis Team and his coach is Dave Zalewski.

Ben is an athlete who never stops trying. He isn’t the most talented player on the team, but he tries his hardest to improve and strives to do his best. He comes to practice with a good attitude and a willingness to learn.

The Middle School Athlete of the Week is Alyssa Tincher.

Alyssa is on the Middle School Track team and her coaches are Lynn Czerneski, Dave Hickman, Clarice Zimmerman, and Carla Wissbroecker.

During the Banana Relays in Mosinee, Alyssa had to give up something and she was awesome about it. Alyssa could not run a throwers relay because she was the only girl. She handled it so well and continues to be very kind and respectful. She continues to work hard and improve at shot and disc. She is a great teammate and very coachable.
