After a couple of weeks off as we have been transitioning into the spring sports season, we are happy to bring back our Athlete of the Week. This week’s Athlete of the Week is Cassie Solheim who competes on the Crookston Pirate Girl’s Track & Field team.
The junior has been participating in Track & Field since her 7th grade year. This year Solheim has gotten off to a great start both in the Track events, and Field events that she competes in. So far this year she has run in the 200 and 100 Meters and has also had strong showings in the Long Jump placing in that event at both meets.
Solheim stays busy during the school year also playing Soccer, Hockey, and Golf. Outside of school and sports, Solheim enjoys being at the lake tubing, wakeboarding, and relaxing. The Pirate Track & Field teams will be competing again this Friday at UND Fritz Pollard Center in the East Grand Forks Invitational.
