Putting in the effort and taking responsibility for our actions is still incredibly important. This summer and the first quarter of our training sessions have been super productive, and it's great to see so many student-athletes reaching significant milestones. Recently, a few of them were awarded their weight club shirts, which is a fantastic recognition of their hard work. The weight room isn't just about lifting weights; it's a space where athletes can really push their limits and discover more about themselves in the process.

A big shoutout to those who earned their weight club t-shirts: Alex Toigo with an impressive total of 1,200 lbs, Isaiah Hawkins and Dominic Scott both hitting 1,000 lbs, Aidan Mattox, Lyle Harrington, and David Whiting each reaching 800 lbs, and Gage Wirtz at 600 lbs. These achievements reflect not only their physical strength but also their dedication and commitment to improving their athletic performance. Keep up the great work, everyone!

I would like to express my appreciation to the committed student-athletes who took part in this year's annual Trash Bag fundraiser. Each autumn, we encourage our student-athletes to engage in fundraising efforts that are crucial for updating and replacing small items and equipment in our weight room and for obtaining reward items that recognize their accomplishments and advancements in athletic performance. Although our target was to sell 300 rolls this year, we did not reach that goal; nonetheless, the outstanding contributions of twelve individuals resulted in the sale of 127 rolls, with each athlete averaging over ten rolls sold. This initiative yielded nearly $700 in profit, which will greatly enhance our program.

I would like to extend acknowledgment to the following student-athletes, who represent various athletic programs offered by South Newton: Dominic Scott, Allison Whitson, Liam Kollman, Hannah Snodgrass, Matthew Armstrong, Sophie Diruzza, Thomas Applegate, Evelyn Nunez, Trinity Barricks, Lyle Harrington, Nathaniel Hersberger, and Brock Durham, for their diligence and dedication. Their efforts not only demonstrate their commitment to enhancing what we can offer our student-athletes in the Athletic Performance program but also embody the spirit of teamwork and community that we aim to cultivate. Collectively, they have made a significant impact, and we eagerly anticipate how these funds will improve our facilities and support their ongoing development as athletes.
