For the last four years Sage Douglas (12), a track athlete, has represented Rogers Heritage High School with outstanding performances and academic achievements.

Douglas did not participate in track during her years at Oakdale Middle School, but in her freshman year, she made the team and became a thrower. Junior year, Douglas made 9th place at state and has made Heritage history by being the 3rd overall for girls’ shot put. 

“I’ve really enjoyed being in track and feel like I’ve made a lot of progress since freshman year. I wish I had known about it in Middle school so that I could have been ahead then from when I started. If that makes sense. But I feel good and the achievements I’ve made and that the program will continue to grow and be better,” said Douglas.

As she continues to improve and find success in track and field Douglas stays on top of her academic side having a 4.2 GPA and graduating with distinguished honors. She is also in 11 different clubs, some of which are RHA, DECA, ACC, Co-President of FCA, and she is President of NHS. Douglas is also a part of Heritage’s marching band and wind ensemble. She is the low reeds section leader and the only tenor in the wind ensemble for this season. 

“Sage is an awesome person and really involved with all her activities on the campus, a great kid who manages all those different things and comes to practice every day focused and ready. She just has a great personality and I’ve enjoyed getting to know her through her senior year,” said Coach Rathke.

With track season almost over and the rest of the school year, Douglas has represented Heritage High School proudly and is committed to the University of Central Arkansas!
