Competing in a field of approximately 50 competitors at the USA BMX Gator Nationals in Oldsmar, Florida, on Feb. 24, Parker earned one of eight spots for his age group.

Three teams competed at the Feb. 10-12 event in Raleigh, with the K-1 team taking first place overall and all three teams placing in the top four of their respective divisions. 

The students, who are involved with Youth and Government through Ravenscroft, will work with YMCA of the Triangle to address issues of diversity and equity in their programming.

The competition is for elite performers, who perform one movement from an advanced concerto, sonata or opera — or a work with the same length and level of difficulty as a concerto movement.

The 6’2” long-stick midfielder is a two-time All-TISAC performer and winner of the 2021 Coaches Award — and a football All-Conference player as well.

Longtime volunteers Jai Gupta ’25 and Nikki Gupta ’26 received the 2022 Volunteer of the Year Award for bringing birthday cheer to Raleigh Boys Club members.

All nine of the participants in the 2023 Central Regional competition on Jan. 7 are now preparing to compete at East Carolina University March 10-12.

The awards for visual art and photography include a prestigious Silver Key for Kristen Hardy ’23.
