“I think Meet the Eagles spring sports is a great way to showcase our spring sports,” head track and cross country coach Jennifer Gegogeine said. “I am looking forward to having the seniors introduced, as they have dedicated four years into this sport.”

Senior and varsity soccer player Buddy Edwards said he thinks it is cool that Prosper will now hold a spring Meet the Eagles.
