Gabi Boyle has been involved in sports since the age of 4. She started in dance for at 5 years old along with adding volleyball, soccer, basketball, softball and gymnastics. By 7th grade Gabi decided to focus all of her attention on dance. Now Gabi is a senior and 4 year member of the Evergreen Varsity Poms. She has brought her strong work ethic, positivity, and joy to practice every day.
As an individual Gabi has been recognized for her strengths in leadership and abilities as a two time All American, All State Team Member, All Elite Team Member, and two time All Colorado Team Member. She has also helped the team to earn a multitude of awards including three time 1st Place in Jeffco League, two time Colorado State Finalists, State First Runners Up, and three time NDA National Finalists.
It has been an amazing experience for Gabi to be a part of the Poms team. Gabi has learned how to time manage, work with many others closely, persevere, realizing that when things get tough it is an opportunity to grow, putting a smile on your face and possibly saying something funny in challenging times. All of these lessons will carry past graduation.
Along with being an athlete, Gabi has also been in Senate, National Honor Society, volunteers in the community, and part of EHS Evergreen Broadcasting (ETV) which consists of putting all events that happen at school on air on ETV.
Gabi is undecided about which college she is attending as she is still waiting to hear back from all of them. She knows where ever she ends up, she has the choice to make it great. Gabi has created a solid foundation to follow her dreams!

This month we are so excited to celebrate and recognize Samantha Swenby as our Student Athlete of The Month. Samantha started playing volleyball the summer before her Freshman year of High School via a one-week skills camp and fell in love with the sport. She made the level 4 VB team at EHS as a Freshman and then decided that she wanted to play in college at the highest level possible. She tried out for Colorado Volleyball Association (CVA) and made a level 2 team that same year. She has played both High School and CVA club VB ever since and is currently doing BOTH at the same time. She made the varsity team this year as a junior and her HS team is currently in 1st place in league play! Her club team is currently ranked in the top 10 teams in the state for her age level as well and they recently took 2nd place in the Capital Hill Classic, Atlanta edition this spring. She has had knee injuries and several aches and pains and she continues to push thru them and rise above. When Covid shut the world down, she knew this was her chance to push past her completion that has been playing longer than she had been. She began seeing a strength trainer 2-3 times per week, eating properly, going in for regular chiropractic adjustments and working on her vertical in the gym and at home, on her own. When volleyball started picking back up, her coaches and teammates noticed how much better she had gotten and she is now touching 10 feet in her vertical. Her goal now is to play division I or division II, in college and major in trauma surgery or criminal justice as she wants to work for the FBI or CIA. Also, while a lot of her friends grades have dropped during this crazy pandemic, she has maintained a 3.8GPA or better for the last 3 semesters at Evergreen High School. She is looking forward to getting back to a “normal” world and hoping for a normal senior year next year!
