From the Sideline

“I have nominated Chalyse for athlete of the week because of her commitment to her teammates and her contagious positive attitude. She has had a strong start to her junior season. She comes in the gym each day and works her hardest leaving everything else outside the door. She led the team in blocks in our first match against Mt. Si and is working hard to support her teammates each day.”
