If people say you don't learn how to become a better student while playing a sport, they don't understand that what students are learning may not be considered secular knowledge, but it will help them in their future. Yet, students can also take the knowledge they learn in school by becoming a more successful athlete. To have the opportunity to be able to be both successful on the academic and athletic fronts during high school, I feel that I'm better prepared for what life has to throw at me in the future. I also have an amazing sense of satisfaction in knowing that I can still be successful without having to sacrifice one thing for another. People can succeed at whatever they want to as long as they are prepared to put the work they need to accomplish those tasks behind them. People don't just remember what you did, they remember they type of person that you are."

These girls earned the prestigious Utah High School Activities Association honor by maintaining a minimum cumulative grade point average above a 3.75 beginning their freshman year and were regular starters on the varsity teams. Each of the girls responded to the honor. Erin Redd said, "Being chosen as academic all-state is a goal I've always had. It shows that there's more to being an athlete thari just sports. Maintaining a high GPA when involved in extracurricular activities can be difficult but it's very rewarding in the end. When you've finished with sports people are going to remember how you represented yourself and the school not only on and off the court but in the classroom also.
