Taylor Baykin and Miles Grossberg Earn Student-Athlete Recognition

Submitted by Rob Rainville, Chelan School District

Each week, Coaches nominate Student-Athletes in their programs that excel in their sport that week. Those Nominees are voted on by the Principals at both schools.

We would like to recognize our Student-Athletes for their efforts and appreciate them representing the Lake Chelan School District wearing the “Chelan” uniform. Each Student-Athlete of the week winner this week will receive a “Lake View Drive-In Gift Card” from Michael and Jamie Mack. Thank you to the Mack Family and the Lake View Drive-In for their support of Chelan Athletics and the Lake Chelan School District.

This week’s winners are Taylor Boykin and Miles Grossberg. Here’s what their coaches had to say about them.

Taylor Baykin

Taylor Baykin–Softball

Taylor at third base, is one of the best in the league that we have seen. She dives to stop balls, makes accurate throws to first base from the dirt, and has smart game play sense, often helping the team execute successful double plays.

Miles Grossberg

She throws hard, swings for the fence, steals bases, and is anall-around valuable player on the team. So far this season, she has scored 21 runs for the team on 14 hits. — Coach Slagle

Miles Grossberg–Boys Golf

Miles shot a sizzling 1-over par 37 on the back 9 at Gamble Sands and finished with a 7-over-par 79 on a course that he had never played before. He also continues to lead our varsity boys in the #1 position. — Coach Einspahr/Coach Finch

Congratulations to Taylor and Miles and great job to all the Student-Athlete nominees listed below.

Brennan had a great week -getting on base via 3 hits, 3 walks, and 1 hit by pitch in a three game week. He has overcome a serious medical condition in the off-season to produce offensively and defensively all season long. He is one of are hardest workers and is a constant inspiration to all. –Coach Papasedero

Lucy performed well in the Triple Jump at the Nike Eason Invite in Snohomish. She has been battling some injuries and was still able to jump close to her Personal Best from last year. Her jump of- 30 feet 11.25 inches from a field of over 40 competitors from 2A to 4A schools was a great effort. She also helped our girls’ 4×100 meter relay team. Great work Lucy! –Coach Romero
