Liz Eaton was selected by Preps Magazine this week, along with 4 other girls basketball players from other schools, to compete for the first round of Preps Magazine Edge MVP award.

Preps Magazine Editor, Kurt Johnson, explains, "Each week, we select five candidates, alternating weeks between male and female athletes, as nominees as that week's athlete of the week. Voting will take place Monday through Sunday night on our website at PrepsMag.com and the winner will be announced Monday on our website when five new candidates will be announced for the next week.

As the alarm goes off at 4:30 in the morning, students on the swim team groan and stumble out of bed with baggy eyes and dragging feet.  Half asleep, they drive to the Springville Pool to begin practice.  

Last weekend Grant LaMont not only represented Maple Mountain and Utah, but also represented the U.S.A. at the World Championships in Greco Roman Wrestling in Baku, Ajerbaijan. Grant placed 10th in the world. Congratulations, Grant!

Maple Mountain shows Utah Valley that it has the best fans again by winning the Battle of the Valley. The Daily Herald has a fantastic article that you can read here.

Let's be sure to continue our winning streak and vote for MMHS in this fall's competition.

Chloe is a great asset to the MMHS swim team. She shows up to practice everyday and tries her hardest. She took 3rd in the 200 yard freestyle and also took 3rd in the 500 yard freestyle at our region championships this last weekend. She has a great chance of making state (Feb 3rd and 4th) in several different events. Congratulations Chloe!
