The dog days of summer…

Well I hope everyone liked our awards series that ran for the last month, if you missed any of them here are links to the Web versions of the stories:

Male Athlete of the Year – Jamie Meyer, Bear Creek School

Female Athlete of the Year – Jessica Elliott, The Overlake School

Team of the Year – Girls’ Golf, Redmond High School

Coach of the Year – Bob Bristol, The Overlake School

I really enjoy doing these stories and think they’re a unique part of our coverage here at the Redmond Reporter.

But now it’s the dreaded down time… summer!  No high school sports to write about, so what’s a sports writer to do in order to stay local?

Now is when I rely heavily on submitted ideas for story material, so if you have something newsworthy that has to do with SPORTS in REDMOND (not just one or the other, must have both) run it by me via e-mail and we’ll see what we can do.

Everyone enjoy the weather, stay hydrated and take the time to enjoy some of Redmond’s fine parks while the sun is shining, as we all know it will not last forever!

Hi there! I graduated from the University of Washington in 2007 with a degree in Journalism and have been the sports writer for the Redmond Reporter since May of 2008. When I'm not covering the local high school sports scene I enjoy bowling, anything related to African lions, and performing as a lion mascot for community and charity events.
