Girls Cross Country: Megan Los
Our first meet was full of rain, lightning, and lots of mud. Megan actually lost her shoe during the race. She did not stop, she did not give up, and she finished the race. Determination is a key trait to being a Hawk.
Boys Cross Country: Liam Peters
Liam worked hard all summer trying to better himself and improve his time. His efforts definitely revealed themselves after our first meet. Liam finished first overall; completing his mile in 6:07. Being a Hawk means putting in the extra effort to be successful.
Cheer: Lucy Grist
Lucy is a 7th grader on the ITMS Cheer Team, and this is her second season cheering! Our coaches have had the privilege of watching Lucy grow as a cheerleader since the beginning of her 6th grade year, and we couldn’t be more proud of how far she has come. She has grown so much and continues to amaze us every day!
Lucy shows up with a smile and always gives her very best, no matter what. She is willing to do whatever is asked of her without complaining and always puts in the hard work to help make our team better.
What we love most about Lucy is her kind heart, her strong work ethic, and the way she supports her teammates. And, of course, we can’t forget those AMAZING dance moves! 💃 She always brings a little extra sass and personality to her dancing and cheering, and we absolutely love it!
Lucy, you are an incredible cheerleader, teammate, and all-around amazing person. We are so proud of you and so lucky to have you on our team! ❤️💛📣
Dance: Ella Schreiber
Ella is an 8th grader on the ITMS Dance Team, and she is an amazing teammate and leader! Ella is always willing to step in wherever she is needed to help lead, encourage, and support her teammates.
Whether she is helping during stretches, working with a teammate on a dance, or simply lending a helping hand, Ella is always there. She is smart, dependable, encouraging, and an all-around great teammate and dancer.
We are so proud of Ella and everything she brings to our team. She is truly AMAZING! ❤️💛
