Congratulations to Payton Carkhuff, Junior at Newton High School, our Nash Athlete of the Week!
“Payton is a dual sport athlete at Newton High School, she has excelled in basketball and soccer over the last 3 years, she has started on the basketball and soccer teams since she was a freshmen. She spends countless hours in the gym always trying to improve her game. She wakes up twice a week at 5am to play ball with the old men at the local YMCA. She travels anywhere from 20-45 minutes to her AAU practices twice a week and sometimes those are on the same days she wakes up at 5am. She has never complained once about doing extra work. She works super hard and always has a positive attitude!” Nominated by her Dad, Scott Carkhuff
