Striding away from the Belvedere building complex, junior Addie Johnson and Senior Cooper Johnson pose for a family picture in Vienna, Austria. The Johnson family lived in Austria for six years and while living there, Cooper said he enjoyed the freedom provided by public transportation. “I liked just the overall city and the public transportation,” Cooper said. “It gave me the ability to go anywhere I wanted whenever I felt like it.”

DEN, a 35-minute-long free period students are given, is used in many ways for a variety of purposes. Students use this time to work on homework, make up missed tests and sometimes catch up with friends. Lots of students use DEN to run “errands,” as well, whether that means picking up an assignment from a teacher, visiting with a student teacher or asking the librarian about a tech issue. Students can no longer leave their designated classroom during DEN, even to go to the restroom.

To combat the growing price on fast food, my family uses fast food apps. There are five apps we use the most: QuikTrip, Sonic, Chick-fil-A, McDonalds and Whataburger.

Swimming to Glory

The dedication of the swim team cannot be underestimated. Squeezing in their practices, school, homework and meets, as well as having to get up super early to get to their three hour practice is no easy feat.

Up by 6 a.m. or earlier every weekday morning, the swimmers have “dry land” exercises, which include crunches, butterfly kicks and other hard-core activities that strengthen their abs and legs for the water. Then, they get in the pool  for warm-ups and swim 12 75-meter freestyle laps.

“For the first part of the season we’re working on long-distance and endurance,” Head Coach John Baltzell said. “Then we’ll move on to working on their speed and fundamentals in the different strokes.”

Their first meet is Oct. 4 at Roy and Jean Potts Swim Center against Belton Dual followed by the Round Rock Invitational on Oct. 11. The team is working towards the district 17 4A Championships in January and the Regional 5 4A championships in February.

“I’m competing in the 100-meter breast stroke and the 200-meter IM, where you do all of the strokes,” freshman Victor Wu said. “I think I’ll do well, and I hope to make it to region.”

The team consists of 11 freshmen, eight sophomores, four juniors and five seniors.  

“We have a couple swimmers who are among the top in the state,” Baltzell said. “They will definitely be able to go to the state championship in late February.”
