“I am very proud of our kids,” Frazer School math coach Will Frazer said in the release. “They worked very hard this summer to get themselves in shape for our national competition. I am also excited about our teams’ prospects for next year and beyond.”
Frazer School principal Olanrewaju Fayiga also touched on the students’ accomplishments.
“These kids are amazing,” he said in the release. “I watched them for the whole month of June run a four-hour camp every morning for young kids, then take a 30-minute lunch break and then attend their own four-hour camp to prepare for our national championship. What is most impressive is that they do this out of love for helping their community and their team. If not for the opportunity to spend time with these impressive young people, I would have retired years ago.”
