One of the most outspoken members of the senior class will now bring their energy and school spirit to Spartan Athletics.

Senior Connor Allen was named the new Spartan mascot at the beginning of the school year. Allen has had his eye on the Spartan costume for a long time, “ever since my first day of SPA, of course,” he said. He is also very confident that he is fit to do the job of the Spartan, which includes starting cheers and chants at SPA athletic events, including crowd favorite, the Spartan Beat. “I am going to cheer better than any Spartan ever has or ever will,” Allen said with wide smile. Every Spartan needs their signature move to get the crowd going, and Allen is armed with his favorite moves. “The roller coaster will make a lot of appearances at SPA sporting events,” he said.
