In her first season of indoor track and field, Hailey Brewer is making an impression.

“Like outdoors, she is one of our top sprinters. She is reliable, dependable, and demonstrates great work ethic,” Lake Region varsity coach Mark Snow said. “Hailey keeps the sprint group on task at practice and at meets while making it a fun experience. She is very supportive of her teammates and their achievements.”

In recognition of her strong work ethic, determination, commitment and good sportsmanship, Hailey is this week’s Boosters and Hancock Lumber “Player of the Week.” Each week, a Lake Region athlete is recognized for his/her dedication (does more than what is asked), work ethic, coachability and academic good standing. Recipients receive a specially-designed t-shirt, sponsored by Hancock Lumber.

Q. Why did you choose indoor track? I’ve always wanted to get better at my running and keep up my endurance throughout the year. 

Q. Complete the following, “I know I’ve had a good if…” I know I’ve had a good meet if I feel good at the end of the race and I’ve met or exceeded a previously set goal.

Q. What goes through your mind before a big meet? How I would like the events to go and if it were to go bad how I would deal with that.

Q. If things are not going well, what do you do to rebound and clear your mind to be more positive? I either put myself with my close friends to distract myself or I go off and to a good cool down to relieve some stress.

Q. How has sports changed you as a person? I feel like it has made me more disciplined, with the workouts we are given each day.

Q. What is the biggest reward you get from competing in sports? It pushes me to be a better person and sports give me the ability to achieve goals I didn’t know I could ever reach. I become closer with my teammates and gain more confidence and friends as the year goes on.
