When not running or training for track, Tessa Trageser is a junior journalist at Hempfield Area High School.  This is Tessa's first year in journalism and she is very excited to be part of Hempfield The Royal. She is also putting in her part around the school by being in United Spartans since her freshman year, and hoping to be part of the mini-thon team this year. In her free time, she enjoys hanging out with her friends, competing in track and field, and shopping. Her favorite music artists include Gracie Abrams and Megan Moroney. In her future, Tessa plans to go to a large university and continue her pole vault dream while also getting a great education. After college Tessa plans to either be a nurse or a physical therapist.
