Wildcat Nation, Here s the Lawrence North athletics weekly update for the week of Monday, August 29, 2016. Lawrence North Athletics Community Partner of the Week The Indiana Army National Guard is proud to support Lawrence North Athletics! (For information on being the next Community Partner of the Week, email Athletic Director Mike Penrose at michaelpenrose@msdlt.k12.in.us) Lawrence North Student-Athletes of the Week Matt Manner, Tennis Anslyn Freije, Soccer Senior tennis player Matt Manner provided the spark the Wildcats needed to beat Noblesville last week. With the team score tied 2-2, Manner s match
would decide it. Down 5-2 in the first set, Matt went on an 11-0 run to win his match 7-5, 6-0 and seal the win for the Wildcats, 3 matches to 2. Matt has a GPA of 4.3, so he is pretty clutch in the classroom as well. Sophomore Anslyn Freije scored two goals in the 4-0 win over Warren Central and played the entire game at defensive center mid in the 1-0 win over Westfield. She has a GPA of 4.5! These two really know the meaning of student-athlete. Congrats, Matt and Anslyn! The Lawrence North student-athletes of the week! Cheerleading: Thanks again to the LN cheerleaders for getting us hyped at the games and providing spirit signs at school. Great shot by Varsity Views!
