Its time again to honor some our awesome athletes, artists and Tigers! This week's 'of the weeks' are athletes Stephen Metcalf & Olivia Bullinger; artist Olivia McKinney and Tiger Jaxon Kerans.
Stephen is a member of the boys cross country team and has been putting a lot of work in on the off season, according to head coach Mitchell Furtkamp.
"Stephen enters this fall season in the best fitness I have seen throughout his four years as a cross country athlete," Furtkamp said. "He showed a lot of commitment in the summer to be consistent to the training load we presented to him. He is representing our boys team as an Ambush captain this season. He is hopeful for not only individual success but great team accomplishments this season. I believe Stephen has done the work to set himself up for a great senior year. He will be a big contributor to what our boys team can accomplish this year. Be on the lookout for Stephen and the Ambush this fall season."
