Two Northgate athletes were recently considered for “Athlete of the Week” by the East Bay Times due to their outstanding achievements in their sport:
Mikayla Kelling- Grade 11
Mikayla qualified for State Finals for her California High School Rodeo Association District 4 in Barrels and Poles. They only take the top 6 of each district to compete against the other 8 Districts in a 10 day Rodeo in Bishop, CA in June. The winners of State will head to Wyoming for the World Finals in the National High School Rodeo Association Finals. Mikayla has worked so hard while still maintaining a 3.6 GPA.
Sven Grant- Grade 11
Sven just finished an incredible season competing for the USA in the Junior Olympics for slalom, giant slalom and downhill, and competes the final races this weekend April 12-13 at Mammoth in Super Giant Slalom. He finished 2nd at Sugar Bowl, and qualified as first alternate for the regional championships in his first FIS competition at Palisades against the likes of Norway, Finland, Canada, France and Great Britain.
