Leander ISD is proud to announce Vandegrift High School’s Ava Chiarelli and Kaily Jaramillo, from Glenn High School, as the Leander ISD Student-Athletes of the Week.

Ava is a senior student athletic trainer and has supported Vandegrift Viper boys basketball and football for the past three years. As a student athletic trainer, Ava is enrolled in sports medicine courses and is a member of the National Honor Society. Last year, Ava’s peers awarded her the β€œSecond to None” award, which goes to a member of an organization that exemplifies character, sportsmanship and honor.   

β€œAva is always smiling the whole time, even if conditions are less than ideal,” Vandegrift Athletic Trainer Chris Shivers said. β€œWe have always been able to depend on Ava to make sure the student-athletes are taken care of during practices and games”.

Kaily is a junior student athletic trainer who supports football and baseball programs. Not only is Kaily enrolled in sports medicine courses, she is also a member of the Future Farmers of America, National Honor Society, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and The Locker. In addition, Kaily competes in cross country and track at Glenn.

β€œKaily is a natural leader with the determination to do her best at everything she does,” said Glenn High School Athletic Trainer Molly Kidd. β€œShe takes initiative and is a leader in and out of the classroom.”

Congratulations to Ava Chiarelli  and Kaily Jaramillo for being named the Leander ISD Student-Athletes of the Week.
