The following Brookwood students were named athletes of the month for May. Coaches’ comments follow the students’ names.
• BASEBALL — Evan Wang: “Evan has played well this month and also leads our team in batting average. He is also a great center fielder and plays first base.”
• SOFTBALL — Vanessa Anderson: “Vanessa has started and completed every game as our pitcher this season so far. Most games she has given us a chance to win, working through errors and miscues many nights. She has continued to get better on the mound with more accuracy and even a few change-up strikeouts recently. She has hit around .380 so far this season in the top three in the order. Vanessa also has recorded 93 k’s and 74 walks so far.”
• BOYS TRACK — Dan Peterson: “Dan got a late start in training due to the altered football schedule. He shows up at every practice, determined to make up for the shortened training time. He works hard to continually beat his personal records at each meet.”
• GIRLS TRACK — McKenzie Woods: “McKenzie is willing to perform in a variety of events. She never complains about workouts. She balances her busy schedule to maintain her high level of performance.”
