EPIC Teammates of the Week: Nadine Benson and Henry Padalecki, 6th Grade

This week we are pleased to recognize 6th graders Nadine Benson and Henry Padalecki as the EPIC Teammates of the Week!

Nadine Benson is a member of the Spartan Track and Field Team. She is a well-rounded track and field athlete who competes in the 100m dash, the 4x100 relay and the long jump. Although track is considered an individual sport, Benson makes the most of the team environment by cheering for teammates and bringing everyone together. Her passion for and commitment to the sport make her this week's EPIC athlete!

 "Nadine has been a pleasure to coach this season,” said Coach Kelton Malone. “She always showed up with an upbeat, positive attitude and played a huge part in the 6th grade girls' success this season."

Henry Padalecki is a member of the inaugural Spartan Middle School Water Polo Team. Padalecki is a vocal leader who takes great pride in being a Spartan. He is always the first to celebrate the success of his teammates. His knowledge as a basketball point guard and floor leader certainly helped him adapt quickly to the game in the water. The team had a truly EPIC first season, finishing in third place at the state tournament in early May!

"Henry has a consistently positive attitude and makes sure to include all members of the team, whether it's passing drills, scrimmages or leading the team in assists at games," said Coach Tom Andrew. 

Congratulations to both of these outstanding young athletes who both have an EPIC future in Spartan sports!
