Announcing Our Athlete of the Month: Emma Bustos! 

We are thrilled to shine the spotlight on one of our exceptional track athletes, Emma Bustos, as our Athlete of the Month! Amidst a field of talented contenders, Emma's dedication and remarkable progress have set her apart in the realm of discus throwing.

From the outset of the season, Emma's commitment to improvement has been evident. Starting with a solid mark of 31' 9", she wasted no time in pushing her limits and refining her technique. Through sheer determination and relentless practice, Emma's performance trajectory has been nothing short of impressive.

Her recent achievements speak volumes about her prowess on the field. Emma has soared to the impressive rank of #8 among all Canyon Athletic Association throwers in the state! What's more, among freshmen athletes, she currently holds an outstanding third position.

Emma's journey to success reached a pinnacle as she secured her spot in the state championship with a phenomenal throw of 54' 04". This accomplishment not only underscores her talent but also reflects her unwavering focus and drive to excel.

Beyond her stellar performances, Emma embodies the spirit of a true team player. Her consistent presence and active participation in practice sessions serve as a testament to her dedication and willingness to go the extra mile.

As we celebrate Emma Bustos as our Athlete of the Month, let's applaud her remarkable achievements and wish her continued success in her athletic endeavors. Congratulations, Emma, on this well-deserved recognition! Keep reaching for the stars! 

Congratulations to JD Parsons on being named the Athlete of the Month.  As a leader on and off the field, he is dedicated to improving his skills while giving 100% in every practice and game.

Congratulations to Zach Sarzoza on being named Roosevelt’s Athlete of the Month.  This award is given to an athlete who has exemplified the mission and purpose of Roosevelt Athletics.  Zach has been a part of every athletic season here at Roosevelt.  He played football in the fall, soccer in the winter and basketball in the spring.  Not only is he a three-sport athlete, but he has also volunteered his time to work with the Archway students by volunteering to help coach the Amateur Aces Training sessions this past winter and spring.  You will seldom see Zach anywhere around Archway students without at least one of them calling for his attention by the nickname they have given him, “Curly Fries”.  On top of this he has also stayed diligent in the classroom.  Zach is setting a high standard for Roosevelt students through his athletic participation, volunteer work and studies.

Congratulations to Gabriel Solem on being named the Roosevelt Prep Aces Athlete of the Month.  This award is given to an athlete who has exemplified the mission and purpose of Roosevelt Athletics.  Gabriel Solem has distinguished himself by the inspiration he provides other athletes on the track. Not only do teammates inquire about his performances, but athletes from other schools seek him out at their track meets.  Gabe also demonstrates a sincere focus and effort with respect to practice drills. He remains the sole athlete on the track team who can listen to an instruction, watch its demonstration, and immediately physically apply what he learned to his own effort. The culmination of this effort has resulted in him being the highest-ranking 7th grader in each sprint distance (100m, 200m and 400m) for the Great Hearts Middle School League Championships.

She is a positive example for others in the way she conducts herself during competition and in the classroom, setting a standard for all our athletes and scholars.
