Athlete of the Year: Melanie Peters

Athlete of the Year and Wallace Middle School student Melanie Peters shows off her many medals she received while at the University of Central Oklahoma Endeavor Games this summer. She was named athlete of the year while there.  Melanie said she could not decide which sport she liked the best, naming track and field and volleyball among her many pursuits. She was joined at the Hays CISD Board of Trustees meeting by her triplet brother and sister, and her grandparents. (Photo by Cyndy Slovak-Barton)
