Lone Peak High School junior Madison
Rager is taking her capstone project to new heights. For her Creativity Action
Service project—Lone Peak High School’s version of a capstone—Rager looks to
raise $350,000-$400,000 for a 400-meter, all-weather track to ring the athletic
field at the school.
At the school board’s Feb. 21 meeting,
Rager presented her project to the school board and asked for approval of her
CAS project.
“I’m really interested in getting our
school a track,” said Rager, adding that she would work on the project even
after she graduated.
The improved surface would help reduce
shin splints among runners, better prepare the track team for meets elsewhere
and inspire increased track and field participation, Rager told the board.
With help from Anna Shipley and Barbara
Rowley, Rager plans to apply to the Yellowstone Club Community Foundation,
Moonlight Basin Community Foundation and Big Sky Resort Area District tax board
for funding.
