Here’s an inside look at our 2011 Lady Red Devil Varsity Volleyball team.   Head coach is Suzette Hartvigsen, and this year’s captains are Jentry Howell and Malia Peterson.   Howell and Peterson have been working hard to keep the team strong, close and continually improving the team’s skills. 

“The team’s strengths are athleticism, a strong work ethic, and they all get along well,” said Hartvigsen.  Hartvigsen said that the team could improve with their communication on the court.

“Team goals include placing in the top five teams in our region and attending state competition,” said Hartvigsen, “Our region is evenly matched so anything can happen!”

Alexis Ashman vs Timpview

Springville’s Lady Red Devils tennis matched up against the Timpview T-birds on Tuesday, September 13, and suffered a surprising defeat.  Even though the girls’ tennis team lost, this has motivated them to practice even harder so they can win their next match.  The determination that these girls have to improve is rock solid.

Mrs. Julie Wilding -- New Chemistry Teacher

This year there are many great joys that are new to Springville High School. One of them is Mrs. Julie Wilding, new Chemistry teacher. This is Wilding’s first year teaching at a public school. 

Wilding was excited to hear that there was a job offering to teach part-time at Springville High.  Wilding attended Brigham University in which she earned her Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering.  After college she worked for a while and then she stayed at home to take care of her family.  In 2003, she returned to BYU and took additional classes to become a Chemistry teacher.  In the past, she taught part-time in which she helped students with substance abuse problems.  In addition, she has been a substitute teacher in Nebo School District.

Wilding enjoys working in her garden and hiking with her family in the San Rafael Swell and in the Uinta Mountains. She also enjoys running races in which she can run as slowly as she wants.  Often, she is the only runner in her age category that wins 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place as well as last place.

Wilding lives in Springville and has four children who graduated from SHS.
