Las Animas School Board Meeting Agenda for April 22nd
Athlete of the Week for Girls Track and Field is Audrey Buscenitz. Audrey is slowly but surely recovering from a lingering injury and was finally able to run in her first event on Saturday in Cheyenne Wells. We are proud of her for taking her time in recovery, being patient, and working to compete in the appropriate timeline. (not pictured)
Athlete of the Week for Boys Track and Field is Scott Banister. Scott continues to make improvements in all events. He is ranked in the top 18 for shot put and is knocking on the door in discus as he continues to improve there as well. Scott is also a key member in the boys’ relay that improves each week.
Jesus Lopez - Jesus has been a reliable resource at first base. His growth in digging off target throws has helped produce outs and save runs. He is also on a tear at the plate, hitting .523 with 14 RBI's. He is 4th on the team in runs scored and stolen bases. Keep up the great work!
