Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Having proper equipment is essential for an athletes' success. Unfortunately, our varsity boys and girls track team have to use their shoes from home to compete in their events. With these track spikes, our athletes can run faster and jump further due to the increased traction that the spikes provide. This is especially crucial in sprinting events where every fraction of a second counts. Additionally, having proper spikes to compete in can offer other benefits such as boosting an athletes confidence and preventing major injuries. Help our Rattler athletes have an amazing season with the right equipment!
