“I definitely have room for improvement, especially if I want to go to college soon,” Westgate said. “I was going to win that but he just caught me, he made me a better wrestler by knowing what i need to improve on,” Westgate said.

Fisayo Afonja another Senior at Baldwin high school is a Volleyball player who recently played in a national volleyball tournament. She has a full ride scholarship to Brown University Located in Providence, Rhode Island. 

“I chose Brown University because it was the best option for me athletically and academically. I loved the coaches and team dynamic,” Afonja said.

To be able to get into Brown University you have to have a 4.1 GPA or higher.

“I decided that volleyball would be my main sport when I was in middle school. From there I knew that I wanted to play at a high level in college and that made me put in the work,” Afonja said.
