ATHLETES OF THE MONTH - JANUARY 2010
Jake Larsen
Bob Jones High School
3.7 GPA
Sports: Football, Track & Field
When Jake Larsen graduates from Bob Jones High School, he will have left his footprint behind for future students to look at and say, “He did it the right way.” Jake keeps the focus in the classroom by boosting a healthy 3.7 GPA. He has made a name for himself on the football field, being a Varsity letterman for the last three years. He was voted “Most-Improved – Defenseman” by his teammates, as well as being nominated for All-Region at his position. Jake manages time to be a member of the National Honors Society. He also was pegged for the National Youth Leadership Forum as a Medical nominee and was invited to the Congressional Student Leadership Conference. In his community, Jake is everywhere. He’s an Eagle Scout, peer-helper, volunteer and active member in his church. Jake can’t go wrong. Congratulations, Jake!
Amanda Chu
Huntsville High School
4.17 GPA
Sports: Softball
Amanda Chu walks the halls of Huntsville High School with a lot of weight on her shoulders. She carries a 4.17 GPA and has been a straight “A” student all through high school. She works hard in her advanced placement classes; scheduling as many as she can handle her junior and senior years. It pays off with a #1 class ranking. Amanda not only knocks it out of the park in the classroom, she’s been known to do the same on the Lady Panthers softball team. A bout with the injury bug has slowed her down a little, but not enough to stop her from lettering two years. You can find Amanda all around the volunteer circle. The Huntsville Hospital Foundation, National Honors Society and the Miracle League baseball team are but a few groups Amanda is actively involved with. Congratulations, Amanda!
