By Samantha DePriest
Trinity Christian School is honored to have Mike Fitzpatrick of Fitzpatrick Ford in Newnan recognize several of our Spring student athletes with the “Athlete of the Week” Award. We join Mr. Fitzpatrick in saying that we are wholeheartedly proud of these athletes who demonstrate qualities of leadership, character, and determination in their sport and on their teams. Below are our most recent recipients of the Fitzpatrick “Athlete of the Week Award”. Way to go Lions!!
Porter Haire
Track
5/1/23 - 11th grade
Porter is currently a junior who competes in the long, triple, and high jump events. Additionally, Porter now shares the high jump record (6-2) and broke the long jump record (22-8) this season, a record previously held since the 2017 season. As Porter competes at a high level he also leads by example through his actions, motivating and encouraging his teammates to compete to the best of their abilities. Porter will compete at the GHSA 4A Region 4 event in all his events for a chance to qualify to the GHSA Sectionals event set to take place on May 6th. Recently, Porter was baptized in front of his peers and family at TCS during a night of celebration!
Abigail Arrington
Tennis
5/8/23 - 10th grade
Abigail is the type of player that a coach loves to coach. She has so much natural talent and is very coachable. For the past 2 seasons she has played line 1 singles and has played some of the best competition in the state. She gives every match her all and is very consistent on the court. We know she is going to do amazing things for the TCS tennis program the next couple of years.
Mary Kathryn White
Track
5/15/23 -11th grade
Mary is currently a sophomore student athlete who competes in the shot put and discus events. Mary truly is a servant leader who leads by example both on and off the field as a thrower. She inspires her teammates, including the throwers group, to achieve their personal records during practice and in competition. As Mary is not competing in the GHSA 4A Region 4 event she is at practice each day, working alongside her teammates at practice. Mary is also devoted to her small group at church that meets on Wednesday after practice which is a foundation of her daily walk.
Jessalyn Sutton
Golf
5/22/23 - 10th grade
Jessalyn is a sophomore who started playing competitive golf last year. She is the most consistent golfer in our program. She is one of the leaders on our girls golf team. Our girls team finished 1AAAA runners up and will be playing the GHSA State Tournament. Jessalyn is a leader on and off of the course. She excels at a high level in the classroom taking advanced courses. She is also a hard worker on the golf course. She is constantly working at improving her game. GO LIONS!
