He is excited about his running career and has goals of running even faster times in the future.”

He is a role model for anyone on our team and an excellent example of how consistent work pays off for anyone new to a sport.”

Coach Yarborough shares the following about her student/athletes: For the JV athlete of the month –
Jane Taylor #19 “As a sophomore, Jane does an extraordinary job of juggling two AP courses and two honors courses, all while leading our JV team as co-captain and starting middle blocker. She makes the most of every moment on the court, leading by example with her coach-ability, determination, natural instinct, and inspiring work ethic. She is an insightful, humble, and compassionate person, who consistently supports and lifts up her teammates with her positivity. We are grateful to have her as a member of our program. She is beyond deserving of this honor.”
