When graduating Signal Mountain High School senior Siena Rodrigues was at the school track one Friday in early March throwing the discus, she could be seen excitedly hugging one teammate and running up to several others.
It was not over where her discus had landed, but where she was getting ready to land as a future college student after receiving an update on her phone.
But she did set a school record in the process, not in her discus throw during practice as an observer from a distance might have thought, but by being the first student from the school to receive the prestigious Morehead-Cain Scholarship to the University of North Carolina.
