Week 10: Eagle of the Week - Jill Amo

Focused and determined, sophomore Jill Amo has earned this week's Eagle of the Week honor! According to strength and conditioning coach, Chris McComb, Jill's hard work this semester, and particularly in the last week, is truly beginning to show. Her squat max has increased, her running form is significantly improved, and her flexibility is better than ever. This continued work ethic is certainly going to take her places...and keep the team heading in the right direction! Keep up the great work, JAmo, for yourself, your team, and the season that lies ahead!

Week 9: Eagle of the Week - Brittany Wilton

Taking her individual evaluation to heart and making it a priority to prove to the coaching staff and her teammates what she is truly capable of, freshman Brittany Wilton has earned this week’s Eagle of the Week award! There is no question Brittany has raised her level of focus, intensity, hard-work, and play in the last week and her determination has not been missed. During our team skill instructions and conditioning sessions, she clearly is taking it upon herself to raise the bar and she must be commended. We are looking forward to seeing this continued progress (and more!) from Brittany in these final weeks before winter break, and we are certain this competitiveness will carry over come the 2009 season! Congratulations Brittany – keep it up!

Week 8: Eagle of the Week - Katherine Caufield

Reports from strength and conditioning are that freshman Katherine Caufield has been doing all that is asked of her and more over the last week! She has been focused on her running, working on her form, pushing herself in the weight room, and even more impressively, she has asked to do extra to work on all that needs to improve. This type of work ethic is what enabled her to get herself out of stretch club last week, and what will certainly lead to great things ahead! Keep up the excellent work and congrats on earning your GOLD TEAM another point!
