GTHS Athlete of the Week - Audrey I. Figueroa

At just 17 years old, Audrey, a Senior at Grand Terrace High School, stands out as an exceptional student with a remarkable 4.0 GPA. Despite her busy schedule, Audrey has not only excelled in academics but also in sports.

From the age of 5, Audrey has displayed her passion for soccer, dedicating five years to Club soccer before a brief hiatus during the challenging COVID period. Since 2021, she has been a key player on the GTHS Varsity Soccer team while also actively participating in Club soccer for E64, AYSO's Elite team in the Inland Empire. But that's not all - Audrey is also a valuable member of both the Varsity Cross Country and Track and Field teams, specializing in the 800m and 4x400 events.

Beyond her athletic pursuits, Audrey enjoys reading, outdoor activities, music, spending time with friends, and engaging in various crafts. Her list of accomplishments is nothing short of impressive, including her recent title as League finalist for the 800M in Track and Field. As a Scholar Athlete and Principal's Honor Roll awardee since elementary school, she consistently showcases academic excellence.

Audrey draws her motivation from the verse, "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength" (Philippians 4:13). Looking ahead, she aspires to make her Senior year memorable and plans to pursue a major in Engineering at college.

Audrey expresses her gratitude for this nomination and extends heartfelt thanks to her coaches, teachers, and, most importantly, her parents, family, and friends who have supported her throughout her journey.

To commemorate Audrey's remarkable achievements, dedication, and hard work, she will receive a certificate and a gift card from the Senior Legacy Committee. We wish Audrey all the best in her future endeavors, knowing that the best is yet to come!"

An October announcement highlights how investigative technology and cooperation among law enforcement agencies can help solve crimes affecting Grand Terrace neighborhoods. For residents of Grand Terrace, home is more than an address. It is where families gather, children grow up and neighbors build relationships over many years. When a residential burglary occurs, the effects can extend beyond the property taken or damage caused. A crime inside someone's home can undermine the sense of security that makes a neighborhood feel safe.
