A day in the life of this week’s Athlete of the Week includes a schedule full of AP classes, a two-hour practice, and of course, lots of laughter.

Junior golfer Theresa Beckett recently helped the golf team place second in their last tournament at Brentwood Country Club, proving her talent and contribution in the sport.

“I have improved my game of gold tremendously from last year,” Beckett said. “What really pushed me was when we made it to state last year as a team. We worked very hard and are still striving for the same goal this year. Every tournament I am improving my score little by little!”

Beckett first joined the team her freshman year, looking for something new.

“I wanted the aspiration to challenge myself and still be able to participate in a team sport,” she said.

Beckett said she likes making memories with friends while playing golf, especially when she makes new friends at golf tounaments.

“What I love about it most is the golf is a wonderful lifetime sport,” she said

Beckett and the rest of the Lady Bear golf team will participate in the Wildwood tournament on Feb. 29.
