Noah Aiken, a hard-working, dedicated athlete and student, is this week’s Sensational Sophomore!

Noah’s Extra Curricular activities include football, basketball, and track and field. He has been playing football since he was seven or eight years old. Noah started playing basketball two years ago, and he started track last year as a freshman.

If Noah had to choose a favorite sport he would choose football because he fell in love with it since day one. Football pushes him to his limits to become mentally and physically stronger so he can be a better competitor in all three sports.  He likes being able to meet new people and hangout with his teammates.

Besides being a successful triathlete, Noah enjoys school. His favorite class is science because he thinks it is fun and very interesting.

Noah is proud to be a student of the Bellwood-Antis High School because of its reputation for having very successful sports programs. He is happy to attend a small school where everyone knows everyone.
