She doesn’t think that her role as the eldest daughter affects her closeness with her siblings, but she thinks that there is a change in the dynamics between her and her siblings. “I feel like it affects it with the oldest son.

Senior Monica Flores plays flag football and basketball and picked the number 23 for both jerseys. She has played basketball as the center post whose main responsibility is rebounding, since freshman year. When Flores took her first jersey home, her brother commented that LeBron James and Michael Jordan wore the same number as her. She appreciated the connection and it solidified 23 as her permanent jersey number. Flores hopes to end her last high school basketball season well and offers advice for underclassmen to stay dedicated and passionate about their sport. “If you’re willing to put that in and give your all then enjoy it,” said Flores.

Cross country: Alexander Escalante

Alexander Escalante is a four year cross-country athlete and current varsity runner and team captain.  Cross country is one of the only sports that has a team that trains year round, causing many to shy away.  For him, cross country isn't just a sport, it's a test of strength, discipline and heart, and has taught him that although the sport is painful, he can work through its difficulties. "Some things I like to look back on are honestly all the races I've had throughout the years and how I've come to grow from them, learn from them. They're really great experiences," said Escalante.
