High school sports are not defined by one season or one scoreboard.

SportzWire is here to tell those stories, the ones that matter most.
Track is Her True Passion Though Sofia is involved in multiple sports, track has captured her heart. “Track is not all about placing and winning medals,” she explains. “It is about dedication, pushing my limits, competing, and most of all having fun and trying to beat my own times.” Her passion for the sport emerged during her 7th-grade year, when she made the difficult choice to step away from soccer — a sport she had played all her life — to focus on running.
🏃♂️ Build-N-Athlete 5K & 10K Recap – A Race With Purpose 🏃♀️ On June 1st, the community came together in Peckville, PA for the first-ever Build-N-Athlete 10K, alongside a packed 5K and Kids Fun Run. From record-breaking finishes to family fun, basket raffles, and kids’ games, it was more than a race—it was a celebration of unity, wellness, and youth empowerment. Proceeds supported Build-N-Athlete, a nonprofit working to make sports gear and mentorship accessible for underprivileged youth in NEPA. With powerful finishes, smiling faces, and an unforgettable mission, this event proved—we’re not just building athletes. We’re building futures. 🌟 Learn more or get involved at buildnathlete.org
