This episode features 3 amazing coaches and 2 outstanding high school athletes.

First up, Coach Christian Rhoten is in the studio to accept the MESPY for Girls Swim Team of the Year. Coach Rhoten describes "the best season in the history of the program," which included a 13th place finish at state tying a program high, multiple records broken, and team-high number of medals won at state. Rhoten is joined by star swimmer Karis Chen, who was part of 3 EHS swimming records including the individual 100 m breaststroke and 2 relays. Chen talks about how she started in the sport, and she mentions what she'll miss about swimming at EHS next year after she graduates.

Next up, we visit with retired Coach Sharon Petty, who began the Edwardsville HS Field Hockey team in 1973. Petty describes the earliest days of organized team sports for women and the role she played compared to the opportunities enjoyed by women today. Petty, who will be inducted in the EHS Athletic Hall of Fame this February discusses the honor and how she looks forward to sharing the experience "with all the great girls" who played for her.

In the last segment, we recognize the Alton High School Wrestling Program as our Integrity Spine and Joint Center Team of the Month. Coach Eric Roberson is in the studio to accept the honor alongside one of his guys, Marquez Singleton. Roberson shares his thoughts on being inducted in the Illinois Coaches and Officials Wrestling Hall of Fame later this year, and he shares his thoughts on working with Singleton, who has become a "team leader" in just two years of being on the program. Singleton describes working with Roberson as "an honor," and he discusses his goals for the remainder of the season and beyond high school.
