Congratulations, Hazel: 2014 State Champion!

Those of us at Saturday's State meet got to witness history:  Hazel not only repeated as Wisconsin State Champion, she did it by shattering the State record! What a pleasure it was to watch Hazel jump, tuck, and point her way to a score of 576.45!

  Is there anything more awesome than watching someone accomplish their goals?

"Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months, and years they spend preparing for it.  The victorious performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character." (T. Allen Armstrong) Hazel has truly reflected this quote over the last four years while competing for NHS.  She is a wonderful role model of a champion:  hard-working, dedicated, determined, and humble.

 I think it's safe to say that we all couldn't be more proud and happy for you, Hazel!

We know your success at Neenah is only the start, and we can't wait to watch you compete for the University of Wisconsin!

Enjoy this special time, Hazel!  We are so proud of our repeat State Champion!!
