2008 State Championship Swim Meet




















Matt did an amazing job at the State Championship Swim Meet. Although he did not place he broke all of his district times. It was awesome to be there!

Winter 2008 Spirit Week

Spirit week kicked off today with a traditional Torch Lighting Ceremony. I was 1 of 25 that was selected to be a torch bearer. I was nominated by my peers and professors because I examplified "The Spirit of Ricks". I will also be attending a special lunchen on Friday where I will find out more specifically why I was nominated and be given a plaque. It was really an honor!
