Haleigh Eckert: Lucky number 13
By Maggie Fipps
“Twelve twelve!” her teammates cheer, encouraging senior pole vaulter Haleigh Eckert as she tries to accomplish a goal six years in the making.
They are well aware that twelve feet twelve inches is thirteen feet, but that’s an unlucky number around here.
“I've been trying to hit the 13 mark for, no joke, 6 years of my life,” Eckert said. “I think it's been sort of a mental thing probably because my personal record before was 12’ 11” and ...

A letter from Prague
By Avonlea Brown
The city of a thousand spires, the city of magic, the golden city, the mother of all cities. The guidebooks did not lie.
I arrived in Prague skeptical of all the hype I had gotten from every person I talked to about my upcoming travels. One city could not be as beautiful, peaceful and interesting as people had said. And yet here I am, sitting on the bathroom floor in my apartment at 1 a.m. so as not to wake my roommates, writing about how Prague has to be one of ...

By Janie Walenda
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was the age of falling in love with excellent children’s media, it was the age of heart-crushing horrible live-action adaptations. 2000s kids really had it all.
“Percy Jackson and the Olympians” and “Avatar the Last Airbender” mirror each other throughout their history. Both debuted in ...
