Kaleb is a Senior this year, and he enjoys playing and practicing his skills for many sports including basketball, bocce, and golf, however, Kaleb's skills truly shine whenever he is bowling. He loves telling jokes and making people laugh. With his infectious smile and laugh, he brings positivity and joy to others. Kaleb competed in his very first State Winter Games this year in Team Bowling.  He and his teammates had the best time competing together and were able to bring home the GOLD!!  When asked what his favorite part about State Games, Kaleb said, “Bowling with my friends and having my family cheer for me!”

Congratulations, Kaleb!
