August 30, 2012

Welcome to Week 1 of the high school football season. The offseason passed by rather quickly for Chick’s Picks.  Shortly after last season’s championship games, she began training to run her first 5K.  This, after rehabbing from ankle surgery, Chick’s Picks thought would be a lofty goal to set for herself.That chilly March morning arrived, and accomplish that goal she did.  It certainly was not pretty, but nonetheless, Chick’s Picks crossed the finish line.  Now nearing her fifth 5K this weekend, she approaches each race with the same mentality—crossing the finish line is the most important part.

Scholastic Notebook – 04/08/2012

April 8, 2012

It is most certainly one of the oddest sports combinations you will see in the WPIAL. You’ll be scratching your head trying to figure out how many times you have seen a championships golfer who also is one of the best shot putters and discus throwers in the district. As odd as it sounds, Katerina Luttner is living out the combination at Fox Chapel High School. She won the WPIAL girls golf championship in 2010 and was the runner-up in 2011. She also has been a medalist at the PIAA level and has a golf scholarship to the University of Mississippi. But in the spring, she throws the discus and shot put for Fox Chapel. This spring, Luttner is the No. 1 discus thrower in the entire WPIAL with a mark of 111 feet, 8 inches. She also has the fourth-best shot put at 34-10.
