Congratulations to Junior Carter Hayward for receiving the Athlete of the Week award. Hayward is a dedicated two-sport athlete who has earned recognition during his basketball season for both his performance and leadership. When asked how it felt to be chosen, Hawayrd said, “it’s pretty cool to be recognised because we have so many amazing athletes”. Hayward was appreciative of being honored for the support he’s received from his friends, family, coaches, and parents.
Hayward’s hard work is not just seen on the court but also off it, as both a student and a student-athlete. Teachers and coaches describe Hayward as someone who pushes themself and shows up ready to work and puts in a lot of work. He strives to be the best version he can be by showing effort through the way he practices, competes, and shows his skills in the classroom.
Hayward also said, “trying to be the best for my team and trying to win”. For him and the boys’ baseball team, that is the type of mindset and core of everything they do. They focus on improving teamwork and taking what they have with the opportunity they are given.
When asked who his biggest role model is, Hayward said, “my biggest role model is my mom, she does such a good job at balancing her work life with her home life and always being there and supporting me.” Hayward really appreciates his mom and everything he can do for him.
