![Shooting a free throw, senior Tia Reed plays basketball against Lafayette High School Jan. 7. With a final score of 32-59, Reed and her team had to adapt to sudden changes before the game. “I was feeling frustrated during this game because one of my teammates wasn’t playing because she was hurt, so I had to step up, and the freshman had to step up. We were all playing different positions [than usual],” Reed said. “My teammates and the fun team environment keep me motivated.”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/0E4C3EA7-68DB-4EB9-8A2D-7EF297257212-900x600.jpg)
![Landing her triple jump, freshman Laurel Rakers competes in a track meet against Parkway South, April 10. Rakers worked with both coaches and older teammates to perfect her jumps and cites senior Tess Allgeyer as one of her role models on the team. “I just started this year. I really liked long jumping, and my coach wanted me to try the triple jump. I loved it," Rakers said. "The support from [the team] and the coaches keep you going.”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/POTW412-900x600.jpg)
![Acting as a “ruler” in an AP World History class activity, sophomore Ayra Ali interacts with sophomore Sarah Hall and other students in a social hierarchy activity in which they took on the roles of various people in ancient societies. The activity allowed students to better understand the differences between people in different social classes. “It made me more aware of what life was like in the past, like how women had no rights and peasants didn’t have many either,” Ali said. “[As a ruler] I had way more privileges than the rest of my class and they couldn't do as much as I could.”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/DSC_0107-900x600.jpg)
![Linking arms with fellow classmates, freshman Becca Vierck holds a sign that reads, “You may have the right to bear arms, but I have the right to get an education.” On April 20, the 19th anniversary of the Columbine shooting, students staged a national walkout to demand action against gun violence. “Walking out was a crazy experience. I got to the marquee a little early and my heart was thumping out of my chest,” Vierck said. “This movement is important to me because we had a social media threat [at West], and that was right after Parkland, so I started thinking, ‘What if that was me?’”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/abc-900x600.jpg)
