The PEAR Department is taking this opportunity to recognize and celebrate the seniors on our spring sports teams. While we are sad that we were unable to watch them compete this season, we are excited about what the future holds for each of them. Keep checking back in the coming weeks as we take the time to highlight each of these individuals. Click here for our Senior Spotlight archive.

Quote from Coach Dave Ricks:
"Liam was a hard worker. He put in a lot of time over 4 years working on Decathlon events. He was also the go-to guy for music during the entire winter. He was a Renaissance man and I'll miss working with him. I just wish that he would have gotten the chance to compete in one more Decathlon."
