November Boys Cross Country Athlete of the Month: Ethan Juergens

Kabrina Brady, Reporter|November 8, 2018

Ethan Juergens is the November Boys Cross Country Athlete of the Month. Juergens is the son of Matt and Andrea Juergens.

Juergens is a sophomore and has been running cross country for three years.

Juergens described cross country as a “really social sport” because he is always running with a friend, having fun and getting to know new people.

The fact that he has been chosen as Athlete of the Month makes him feel good about himself because he feels like oftentimes cross country doesn’t get enough attention, as compared to other sports going on at the same time.

He believes that he was chosen as Athlete of the Month because he motivates the team. While I was interviewing him, he turned to Grace McCartney, another cross country athlete, and double-checked with her – “Grace, am I motivating?” Grace replied with a hearty “Very.” Juergens’ goal is to make everyone feel good about how they’re running.

In recognition of his achievement, Blue Oak CPA has donated $100 to the ADM Scholarship Foundation.

The Student of the Month in November in Brenna Seidl. Her parents are Chris and Jacque Seidl. She has a 3.89 GPA. Seidl’s favorite three classes from high school are Intro to Ed, because it matches with what she wants to do after high school; English III, because she likes the Great Gatsby; and Culinary because it was really fun. She is involved in Cross Country, Soccer, Speech, NHS, Humanitarian Chord and Student Council. These activities have taught her leadership, and helped her grow connections with people she wasn’t initially friends with. Seidl also volunteers at her church. Next fall, Seidl plans to attend UNI and major in elementary education. Her advice to others about how to succeed in school and life is to be kind—you never know what other people are going through.

Being named Student of the Month is a big honor to Seidl. She feels recognized for all the work she’s put into the school for the past four years. She thinks she’s been recognised because of all the work she’s put into the school through student council, and because she holds a lot of leadership positions and is involved in a diverse group of activities. In honor of her achievements, Raccoon Valley Bank has donated $100 to the ADM Scholarship Foundation.
