The Windham Eagle athlete of the week
goes to Kiana Clark, a junior at Windham High School. Kiana is on the cross
country team and tennis team. She lives with her mom, dad, brother and two
dogs.
Kiana enjoys reading, hiking and tennis.
Her sports heroes are Serena Williams and Sarah Packard.
She finds it difficult to balance sports
and school “because I want to challenge myself in school as well as in my
sport,” she said. Teamwork isn’t as obvious in cross country. “Even in an
individual sport like running, support and encouragement is important,” she
added.
“Junior Kiana Clark has finally
experience the pivotal moment in a runner’s journey, a breakthrough moment
beyond compare. A week ago, Kiana was our seventh to ninth place finisher, now
she finishes third on our varsity team and has literally changed the game for
Windham High School cross country,” said coach Jeff Riddle.
Kiana would like to go to college to
study journalism.
