Olivia Wakeham
Senior, Golf
Over the course of her three years at Trenton High School, senior Olivia Wakeham has managed to raise the bar both academically and athletically, even when it didn’t seem there was any room to improve. Sporting a 4.0 grade-point average over her first three years, the Trenton Public School District’s move to a weighted grading system would push her GPA to a 4.2. As the Most Improved Player on both the softball and golf teams during her junior year, Wakeham has been on an upward trajectory all throughout her high school career. A member of the Quiz Bowl team, Student Council and the National Honor Society, Wakeham will have a vast array of options at her disposal as she looks beyond this year and into college. She hopes to continue her softball career at the collegiate level, and with whichever school she winds up with she is leaning toward majoring in kinesiology or exercise science. She was driven to this field after an injury in softball led her to visiting a physical therapist, at which point she realized that career path may be one she wants to follow. With one year left to go Olivia’s parents, Rod and Alexis Wakeham, are looking forward to enjoying all of the moments her senior year will hold. — Brian Rzeppa
