Highlander GMC Athletes of the Week

Highlander GMC Athletes of the Week

Congratulations to our Highlanders who were named GMC Athletes of the Week!

 
Joe Helmes       Boys' Cross Country     Fr. 
In his second varsity race, Joe was just the guy we needed. He ran another huge PR this week, running in the 17's for the first time and crossing the line as our 4th runner. But the moment that really impressed the coaches happened just before the one-mile mark. The course required racers to make a tight 180 degree turn around a pole. Joe charged into this redirection with a bit too much speed, slipped, and fell hard on the ground. Joe was back up in less than a second, with a look of calm determination on his face. A setback like that can mentally break even the most experienced runners. However, it has the opposite effect on a real competitor. 
 
Debra Brogan           Girls' Golf        Fr. 
Debra is a phenomenal freshman golfer on the Varsity Girls' Golf Team. She came into Oak Hills as a 2-time winner of middle school GMC golf. She's been a medalist in 6 of our 12 matches thus far and placed 2nd in 2 of our 3 multi-school tournaments. She is currently ranked 5th in the entire GMC! She is a great influence on our team and is motivating all of our players to be better! And she is accomplishing all of this while enrolled in 4 honors courses and maintaining straight A's.   
 
Riley Broughton         Girls' Volleyball          Jr.
This week's matches (2), Riley tallied 50 assists, 17 digs, and 8 serving aces. She is leading the conference with 234 total assists for the year and she is also tied for 4th in the conference with 18 serving aces. She has been the starting setter for the past two years. Riley serves on Student Council, Key Club, and YoungLife at Oak Hills.
