September 24, 2023 marked the first time ADS Spartan, Sage Raglin in first grade, completed the Dawson Pediatrics Peach Kid’s Triathlon! Way to go, Sage!! 🎉🏅

During this past academic year, Sage worked hard to improve her swimming, cycling and running skills. Moving one step closer to her goal, Sage was recently accepted to train with and join the Dynamo Multisport Program. Together, Sage and her team will race on June 9th in the 2024 Dawson Pediatrics Peach Kid’s Triathlon - Alpharetta. When asked what skills does she use most when working in a group towards a common goal, Sage credits what she has learned as an ADS Spartan – Faith, Respect, Teamwork, and Good Sportsmanship. ❤️👏😍

I think it’s safe to say that Sage is ready for Field Day tomorrow!! 🏃🏻‍♀️🏊🏽‍♂️🚴‍♀️
