Kristen Allred is an outstanding student athlete. She works hard in the classroom and is a leader on the volleyball court. She pushes her teammates as well as herself to a higher standard.

Carley Guymon is the "Prep of The Week." Carley's pitching has helped the lady Golden Eagles stay near the top of the region 8 standings. She has an 11-4 record on the mound while also swinging a strong bat at the plate. Her efforts have been a big reason the team has a very respectful 16-5 overall record.

Congratulations Elzi!

Congratulations to Haley Andrew and Cassie Knapp for being chosen as this week's MMHS Prep Athletes of the Week! They are the Varsity 1st Doubles and have gone undefeated through the season winning some tough matches against Timpview and Springville. Their strengths compliment each other as Haley has great groundstrokes and overheads while Cassie's serves and backhand volleys are the best in the Region. These teammates are great friends and add so much to the MMHS Tennis Team. They are also both Academic All-Region recipients.
Tarin Strosser has been selected as a MMHS Prep Athlete of the Week for her outstanding performances over the past several weeks. Tarrin has recently set school records in the shot put, high jump, and javelin. She also won the BYU Heptathlon title last weekend beating the nearest competitor by nearly 300 points.
