Photo credit: Sayler Peavey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p2\">Wood River High School incoming junior Sayler Peavey knows how to go for the goal, in all of its many forms. At 17 years of age, Peavey is a multi-sport athlete, competing in WRHS varsity soccer, basketball and track programs. So, the path toward her goals remains constant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cI do track before school ends with the high school, then soccer starting right before track ends, which carries through to the beginning of summer, and then I do camps for basketball,\u201d Peavey said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">These sports have been a regular part of Peavey\u2019s life, starting with soccer and basketball, since she was six. Now she hustles as a midfielder or forward on the soccer pitch, a point guard on the court, and a runner participating in the relay team and the respective events of long jump and 4-by-200 or 4-by-100-meter relays.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Outside of WRHS, Peavey competes for the Sun Valley Soccer Club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cIn our last tournament at Director\u2019s Cup, we did the best we\u2019ve ever done,\u201d Peavey said. \u201cIt\u2019ll be great to see where we go next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">In many ways, for Peavey, tenacity is the way of the game. Everything is about the next season, the next game, the next personal best.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cI usually like each sport equally,\u201d Peavey said. \u201cI just have to make a choice now about which I want to go for in the future and if I do want to play college sports.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Still, while sports constitute a significant part of Peavey\u2019s life and her future plans, her aspirations aren\u2019t limited to them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cNext year I\u2019m taking a couple APs [Advanced Placement] and then I\u2019m doing a lot of med classes, like sports medicine and CNA,\u201d she said. These classes are all in pursuit of her desire to be a flight paramedic\u2014a passion which she has been working toward since middle school.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cI\u2019ve really never thought of doing anything else,\u201d she said. \u201cWith accidents, it\u2019s exciting to know what happened and how it was resolved. It\u2019s really interesting to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Whether it\u2019s the rush of adrenaline from the field or the fast-paced action of accident response, Peavey seems determined to live a life of action along a path toward benchmarks and goals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Editor\u2019s Note: Anyone who would like to recommend a Blaine County School District student for The Weekly Sun\u2019s \u201cStudent Spotlight\u201d feature should contact The Weekly Sun at<br \/>\nnews@theweeklysun.com.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Girl On The Move By Jesse Cole Wood River High School incoming junior Sayler Peavey knows how to go for the goal, in all of its many forms.
