Head Coach Samantha Pemberton: “Savannah earned All-State recognition this season through years of dedication, leadership, and top-level performance in track and field. 
“A four-year track athlete and solid contributor to our team, Savannah is a five-time state medalist in discus and shot put. She is the back-to-back 2A state champion in discus for 2024 and 2025, showcasing her consistency and dominance in the event.
“Savannah’s athletic journey reflects not only talent but also relentless work ethic and grit. She privately put in many extra weekends and countless hours practicing and training outside of the standard season and practices.
“Savannah has a great focus and competitive spirit. She is an excellent supporter of her teammates and leads by example. She balanced her athletic success with deep involvement in other areas, serving as a senior captain of the cheer team and maintaining academic excellence throughout her high school career.
“Savannah’s determination and discipline on the field make her a standout among her peers. She exemplifies what it means to be a student-athlete – competing at the highest level while representing her school with integrity and heart. 
“Congratulations Savannah. Through hard work and dedication, your recognition is well-earned.”
