A KEY TO THE WELL-ROUNDED PERSON ATHLETICS Athletes at QHS strive to be the best they can be, whether involved in individual or team competition or in boys' or girls’ sports. Approximately 60% of the student body participates in athletics although some students are in more than one sport, according to athletic director Lonney Evon. Competition challenges athletes to set goals for themselves and that carries over into the classroom. Competitors learn mental toughness which can also be used in other aspects of life. Students also participate for enjoyment, recreation, physical activity, and recognition. Pride is another factor affecting competition because athletes are competing not only for the team and themselves, but also for the school. Coaches contribute greatly to the athletic program. They enjoy seeing the improvement of the athletes, and they relish the contact with the students outside of the classroom setting. Knowing they’ve had an impact on students, sometimes more so on the athletic field than in the classroom, is also an important factor to coaches. The thrill of competition and recognition of their efforts are important to coaches and athletes alike. Whether athletes and coaches experience the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat, QHS is proud of them all! 4
