Congratulations to the PCJH Athlete of the Week, Javan Bazzell!
Javan is a 14-year-old 8th grader from Fairbury, and is the son of Mark and Tania. Javan was nominated by Coach Sattler, who wrote, "Javan's been crushing it on the track this season. His dedication, attitude, and leadership are off the charts, pushing the team to new heights. He's always the first to step up for stretches, push through tough workouts, and lend a hand to his teammates. No matter the situation, Javan's always giving it his all.
At the Livingston County meet, Javan faced rain, shine, and even a lightning delay. But did he let that stop him? Not a chance. He ran his leg of the 4x4 relay, only for it to get cut short. No biggie though, because when it was time for a redo, Javan was ready to go. He helped his team secure a first-place finish. At the end of the day, Javan was part of two winning relays. Plus, he snagged second place in the 100m dash and discus events.
Javan's not just a star on the track; he's also a fantastic student. His positive energy and never-give-up attitude inspire us all to bring our A-game. Congratulations Javan for all of your hard work!"
Javan is also involved in football, band, choir, and FFA.

Violet is a 13-year-old 7th grader from Forrest, and is the daughter of Laura & Chris Kerber. Violet was nominated by Coach Sattler, who wrote, "Violet has been a real standout runner this track season. She uses her go-getter attitude to get everyone pumped up, whether it's during a hard workout or before a race. She's always there to lift others up during practice and cheer on her teammates before and after their events, no matter what they are or the outcome. When it comes to putting in the work, she doesn't hold back - always giving it her all and motivating those around her to do the same.
At our meet in Eureka, Violet showed her true colors by jumping into a relay at the last minute. She didn't just do it, she did it with a smile and helped us secure a solid finish. Her dedication to being a top-notch athlete and student doesn't go unnoticed by the coaches and the team. We're excited to see her step up even more as a leader, both on and off the track." Violet is involved in student council, band, FFA, basketball, and track.
Congratulations to the PCHS boys and girls track and field teams!! Both teams took 1st Place at the PC Invite today!!
