Jul. 13—WARDEN — Soren Clausen was announced as part of the Washington Interscholastic Athletic ****** ociation's Leadership through Education Activities and Personal Development Committee Class of 2028 on Monday. Clausen said this opportunity has him excited to put his best foot forward in his new position.
"In my next two years on the LEAP Committee, I hope to provide a new point of view, being from a small town and school like Warden," he said. "I'm actually the first student from Warden High School to serve on the Committee since it began in 2009. Having such a small and close-knit school is really helpful because it is easy to talk to and get feedback from a lot of students and parents who are affected by decisions of the WIAA."
His journey to becoming part of the LEAP committee began when the Warden Athletic Director Grag Lucas encouraged Clausen to apply for the position. Clausen said the support from Lucas and his ASB Advisor Prisma Corrales motivated him to pursue the opportunity.
He said both Lucas and Corrales believed he would make a strong team member if he was selected. After doing some of his own research into the committee, Clausen realized that he aligned well with the program's ideals and principles.
The application process came in three parts as he had to fill out a couple of essay questions, submit a letter of recommendation and create a personal video on himself. Working on this video proved to be one of the most unique parts of this experience, he said.
