This week's Alumni Spotlight is Tri-Point's Kaitlyn Poe! Poe was a Cross Country and Track runner for the Chargers. Today she competes and studies at Judson University.
In her own words: I am a mid-distance runner for cross country and track at Judson University. This season I’m looking forward to see how much I accomplish and grow as an athlete. Our first meet is at Wheaton, on September 21st; I happened to make a pr with a time of 27:38; and we’re going to keep on working to cut the time down! I recently made a switch to psychology with a concentration in criminal justice. I am currently trying to apply to be an army reserve while still in school. If all follows through, I plan to become an officer for the army.
Tri-Point UE/JH students and staff would like to wish good luck, to our state runners for Cross Country this weekend!! Students and Staff participated in a building clap out yesterday! State cross country meet will be run on Saturday, 10/19, at Maxwell Park in Normal. Lily Polcen will run at 9:15, and Dustin Damron will run at 10:00.
Best of Luck!!!

Position on the KCC vball team: Defensive specialist
Major: Undecided but I want to transfer to a 4 year school after KCC
Tri-Point helped me academically for the next level by preparing me in my AP classes and extra curriculars while also having good connections with my teachers.
Athletically, Tri-Point allowed me grow throughout the years by getting experience from the girls who were older than me and allowed for me to focus and get more reps in because of our smaller team.
