He is a dedicated, hard-working athlete whose leadership and outstanding character make him a standout student-athlete.

Taylor Bryant of the girls track team achieved seasonal bests in both the 100m and 200m, while also excelling as a relay specialist. A highly talented athlete with great potential, big things are expected from her next year.

Taylor Scott is a captain for STUNT, and is also in AVID, ASB, Link Crew, BSU, girls water polo, Key Club and is a cheerleader. “Taylor is a strong athlete who puts others ahead of herself, said her coach. "As a captain, she is always looking for ways to make her team better, and leads them by first setting the example herself. She has a positive attitude both on and off the mat, is easy to talk to, and is someone the rest of her team looks up to.”
