Whiz Kid of the Week

Meet Sara Griswold, an athlete with her sights set on the future.

Whiz Kid's name and age: Sara Griswold, 17

School: Council Rock North

Accomplishment: After years of running track and cross country, Sara had to give up the sport as a sophomore due to knee injuries. But she managed to turn a painful experience into a positive life lesson. The hours she spent in the school athletic training room helped her choose a career path -- she is currently the student athletic trainer, works at a gym, and plans to become a physical therapist one day.

Key to Awesomeness: Being organized is a must for Sara as she balances work, school, participation in National Honor Society, and preparation for college.
