Summit Spartans Wrestling sent six athletes to the State Wrestling Championships.

157 - State Champion

The Summit Girls Basketball Program has had to battle injuries, illness and some tough luck throughout the season, but post season play starts 0-0. Despite losing to Brentwood earlier in the season, the Lady Spartans controlled the game throughout and upset #4 Brentwood in the opening round of the district playoffs.

The team was led by the senior duo of Bridget Allee who paced the Lady Spartans with 20 points and Ava Krohl who poured in 18 points, all of which came from behind the arc. The win put the girls in the Semifinals vs the #1 Page Patriots. The girls were defeated by the top seeded Patriots on Monday night and their season has come to a close. Congrats girls!

The boys finished their season with back to back heartbreaking overtime loses. After losing the season finale to Page High, the boys faced Ravenwood in the district playoff opener. Despite leading at the half and again in the closing minutes, Ravenwood tied the game late to send it to OT and then they carried that momentum through the final frame. The boys finished the season 17-11 and in third place in league. Congrats to all of the guys on a fine season and best of luck to our outgoing seniors.

The boys on the pitch found the back of the net early in this one. After a free kick ricocheted off the post, Sophomore Greyson Stinson drove home the first goal of the game. That goal was followed up with three more tallies in the first half from Ryder Fitzpatrick, Luke Russell and a beautiful top corner blast from Tai Zaghouani in the final minute of the half. A fifth goal was provided by Ethan Glesne late and the Spartans won this one by a score of 5-1. They will play at La Vergne tomorrow at 7:00pm

The Girls Flag Football team played their Home Opener last week vs Franklin Christian Academy. The girls shutout the Falcons 34-0 on a crisp winter night. They followed that up with a 27-12 win over Brentwood Academy last night. The girls are building their skills and prepping for a tough upcoming league schedule. Good luck girls.

After a tough extra inning loss in their first game against Nolensville, the girls turned on the heat and scored a slew of runs, beating the Raptors 8-2 on our home turf. Stats included: Annie Guardiola went 2-3, Paityn Robertson went 2-4, with 2 runs scored. Brooklyn Robertson went 1-2, also with 2 runs scored. Addy Willingham went 1-2, with 3 RBIs. Senior Bella Uppinghouse was the winning pitcher, picking up her first win of the year.

Congratulations to Carter Korcinsky for being recognized with the Scholar-Athlete award from the National Football Foundation. Congratulations Carter… so well deserved!

Eating disorders affect more than an athlete’s health—they can significantly impair sport performance. The physiological impact depends on the disorder’s severity and duration, as well as the athlete’s overall health, body composition, and genetics. While the body is resilient and can sometimes sustain high performance for a short period of time despite being compromised, this is temporary and comes at a cost. High athletic performance does not always indicate optimal health.

There’s no universal “ideal” body fat percentage. Each athlete’s optimal body composition is unique and influenced by body type, genetics, and fitness level. Being thinner does not guarantee better performance. In fact, too much weight loss or body fat reduction can negatively impact strength, power, recovery, and performance.

Anorexia Nervosa (AN) involves severe restriction of food intake, leading to weight loss or a lack of appropriate weight gain in growing children. Individuals often struggle to maintain a body weight that is healthy for their age, height, and growth needs. Many also experience intense concerns about body image.

Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) involves extreme restriction in the amount or type of food eaten, unrelated to body image concerns. This restriction may stem from sensory sensitivities, low interest in eating, or fear of negative consequences such as choking or vomiting.

Binge Eating Disorder (BED) involves repeated episodes of eating large amounts of food often rapidly and beyond the point of fullness. Binges typically occur alone or in secret and are associated with feelings of loss of control, shame, and guilt.

Bulimia Nervosa (BN) is characterized by cycles of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors, such as self-induced vomiting, fasting, excessive exercise, misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or other medications.

Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders (OSFED) describes clinically significant eating concerns that do not meet the full criteria for other diagnoses. Examples include Atypical Anorexia, subthreshold Binge Eating Disorder or Bulimia Nervosa, Purging Disorder, and Night Eating Syndrome.

Eating disorder care begins with a comprehensive evaluation to establish a diagnosis and determine appropriate treatment recommendations. Treatment for eating disorders warrants a multidisciplinary team approach consisting of a physician, dietitian, and mental health provider who frequently collaborate on the care of an athlete. Treatment plans vary based on the specific diagnosis and severity of the eating disorder. Types of Treatment can include Outpatient Services, Intensive Outpatient Programs, Partial Hospitalization Programs, Residential Treatment Centers or Full Inpatient Treatments.

If you or someone you know needs help or support with an eating disorder, contact your school counselor for help on next steps. Health is important. Don't let an eating disorder affect you or someone you love.
