Alex Kumler Girls' Lacrosse Soph.
Alex has improved greatly over the course of this season. She had an exceptional last two weeks, with 1 goal against Miamisburg and 2 goals against Princeton. She has such a positive attitude and she is always interested in how she can get better. Her grit and drive on the field is what makes her stand out.
Sydney Lehman Girls' Track Fr.
Sydney is the top point scorer for Oak Hills so far this season, and she is only a freshman! Sydney specializes in the short sprints, boasting current season bests of 12.45 in the 100m and 25.80 in the 200m. At the Harrison Invitational, she finished 3rd in the 100m and 200m and was part of the winning 4x100 relay team.
Tyson Watt Boys' Track Fr.
Tyson has proven himself to be one of the most reliable guys on the team, even though this is just his first year. At the Harrison Invitational, he was asked to drop an individual event to fill a spot on a relay, and at the end of the meet was asked to join the 4x400 relay in the last minute. Tyson gladly helped the team and did an amazing job. He was part of the 1st place 4x400, 2nd place 4x100 and 4th place 4x200 relays. He also added a 6th place finish in the 200m dash.

His positive attitude and unwavering work ethic make him ready and eager to take on any workout. Owen leads the team in the 800, 1600, and 3200 meters, and ranks among the top three in the 400. His impressive range and versatility allow him to excel across events—from the speed of the 400 to the endurance of the 3200.
