Pace High Athlete of the Week

Valentina Ortiz is in her senior season as a golfer for the Pace Patriots and is one of the team’s more experienced golfers.

The early part of the season has gone well for Ortiz, who finished in the top five of her first two matches. Ortiz led the way for the Patriots in their season opener on Sept. 1, shooting a 41 to place third.

Not only does Ortiz golf, but she is also on Pace’s girls weightlifting team and is looking forward to a big year in that sport as well.
