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!!!
