What does it mean to be a good teammate? Why is it important to your success? What is one thing you do to help others around you?

Being a good teammate means allowing others to develop while doing my part to support the team. It is important to our success because when we are there for each other to celebrate accomplishments it creates bonds that are stronger than any award you could get. I share my knowledge and experiences with others to help the team.

It would be Michael Jackson to see if we are related.

From the sidelines:

King has been doing a phenomenal job as one of the Boys XC team captains. King has been our top scorer throughout the season and has led the team to a lot of success this season. Most recently, King had runner up finishes in our meets against Enumclaw/Decatur and at the All City Championship. King successfully led the boys squad to their third consecutive All City Championship this past week. The team will continue to rely on King’s leadership as we move towards the post season. Go King!
