It’s the Reader’s Turn at Palmerton Area High School
Jake Martinez, 11th grade
“My favorite Winter Olympic sport was cross-country skiing because of the excitement. The athletes gave it their all. It was very competitive. They leave it all out there, and I really like seeing that.”
Mattis Willuhn,
11th grade
“I like the biathlon because it consists of two sports, not just one: shooting and cross-country skiing. Being from Germany it’s easier to watch because we win a lot. I don’t like sports like figure skating because we’re not as successful.”
Cassidy Beltzner, 12th grade
“My favorite was women’s ice hockey. For the final game I was up until 3 a.m. watching them. I felt complete adrenaline and excitement when they won.”
Eric Baumgardt, 12th grade
“I like curling because it’s always interesting to see their strategies, and how seriously they take it. It’s also interesting how they can curl the stone and place it accurately.”
Sydney Geist, 11th grade
“My favorite sport to watch was women’s figure skating. I was impressed by Mirai Nagasu, who was the first woman from the USA to complete a triple axel (at the Olympics). That was really cool.”
Jasmyn Peryea, 12th grade
“My favorite sport to watch was curling. It’s super exciting and unique. Watching the strategies blows my mind.”
