Terkildsen Leading by Example

By Shawnta' Jones ‘14

Red Cloud High School’s Varsity Volleyball student-athlete Gusti Terkildsen won the 1st annual Volleyball “Leading by Example” Award. The Mary J. Szczepanski “Never Give Up” MS Scholarship Foundation was proud to honor our very own outstanding athlete with a plaque.

“It’s an honor to receive this award,” said student-athlete Gusti Terkildsen. “It’s nice being recognized for some of the good things that I do, which makes me happy!”

Gusti, the outside hitter on the volleyball team, was given this award because she played a huge role on the Lady Crusaders volleyball team by always having a positive attitude and leading by example for her teammates. Not only is Gusti a hard worker on the court but also in the classroom. Terkildsen holds a 3.9 GPA and also shows good character throughout the halls of Red Cloud High School.

“I feel like it’s a honor for them to go out of their way to donate the award to a Red Cloud athlete, to award the athlete showing leadership both on and off the court,” said RCHS Athletic Director Christian McGhee. “I am proud of her.”

Gusti tries her best to be an athletic leader as well as a student leader and show good character. She tries her best to be a role model for the upcoming students and younger generations.

“I feel really happy, honored, and extremely grateful, all at the same time!” exclaims Terkildsen. “Being awarded for doing something I love is great!”

Red Cloud was extremely enthused with the great news about one of our outstanding student-athletes.
