Our second star athlete of the week is yet another runner, and was nominated by Arya Bharti. Arya told us that “Alex Fernandez should be Athlete of the Week because he works hard and supports everyone on the team. He has had massive success in both XC and Track and to be honest, he carried the whole Cross Country team. Alex honestly deserves this as he barely gets any recognition for his amazing abilities. Alex is kind and compassionate and truly is an amazing friend. Currently Alex holds the school record for fastest 5k, 3k and 2 mile and even though he’s just a freshman, he’s been a leader for everyone in our Track & Cross-Country family.”

Alex, congrats! It sounds like you are not only a phenomenal runner but a fantastic teammate.
