Fundraiser started for 18 South Tahoe High track and field athletes heading to state championships

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Eighteen track and field athletes from South Tahoe High School (STHS) are heading to the 2023 NIAA 3a State Championships May 19-20 at Liberty High School in Henderson, Nev. Giulia Lancellotti, Evelyn Bennett, Lyla Landy, Chloe Waskiewicz, Noosa Higgins, Emily Banks, Arya Saini, Leslie Pulido, Rose Friedrich, Kalea Paine, Eva Moyer-Pirie, Brody Defranco, Evan Habaradas, Ian Lomeli, Levi Hernandez, Ayden Keck, Minh Nguyen, and Tommy Morton will be making the trip. They are coached by Coach Rod Canny III.

Some of the kids are missing the STHS Senior Prom, so there is a fundraiser on GoFundMe to help create an experience the athletes will never forget. Organizers wanted to generate a fund so they can go over and beyond what the Lake Tahoe Unified School District is already paying for. The money raised will go toward extra snack food and hydration support equipment since temperatures will be in the 90s all weekend long in Henderson. The goal is $3,000 and as of Monday night, they are at $1,815 (donate here).
