StoJe«\t Profile:
Tori Weprinsky ranks third in her
class and, coincidentally, is also a three-
sport varsity athlete.
Tori has lettered in volleyball, bas
ketball and soccer. Meanwhile, she has
served as president of the National Hon
or Society, president of the Fellowship
of Christian Athletes, a student ambas
sador and a dual magnet student in sci
ence and music.
“Honestly, I don’t get much sleep,”
Tori joked when asked how she has time
for all her activities. “But I think that
staying busy forces me to stay on top of
everything and helps me with my time
management.”
Tori’s accomplishments on and off
the field of play include being named an
Advanced Placement Scholar, a Univer
sity of Georgia Merit Scholar and volley
ball defensive player of the year.
On March 5, Tori was honored at
the Atlanta Sports Awards as the Female
High School Scholar Athlete of the Year.
The award recognizes Atlanta-area high
school athletes who have demonstrated
excellence in both sports and academ
ics. As a recipient, Tori receives a $1,000
scholarship at a university of her choice.
“I was so honored to be in the same
room as the other amazing athletes and
to be receiving an award,” she said. “I
was pretty starstruck when I was talking
to [former Atlanta Braves baseball play
er] Chipper Jones and [Atlanta Falcons
quarterback] Matt Ryan.”
Tori has played volleyball since her
freshman year and has played on the var
sity team since her sophomore year.
“[The highlight of my athletic ca
reer] was getting to the [state tourna
ment] Sweet 16 in volleyball two years
in a row,” Tori says.
Tori has played basketball and soccer
since she was 6. She played varsity bas
ketball from her freshman through ju
nior year and varsity soccer all four years
of high school.
“I don’t have much time in the off
season because I’m always playing a dif
ferent sport,” Tori said. “I do play some
pickup games of soccer, basketball and
volleyball, and practice in my backyard
or driveway with my dad and friends.”
Tori was nominated for the scholar-
athlete award by North Springs Prin
cipal Lisa Stueve and Athletic Director
Tommy Amoroso.
“Tori has excelled on the playing field
as well as the classroom. Her faith drives
her to be the best person she can be. She
does a great deal for her peers and the
community alike,” Amoroso said.
that’s Next:
Tori has been accepted to South
ern Methodist University, University of
Georgia, University of Virginia, Univer
sity of North Carolina and Tulane Uni-
versiy and is waiting to hear from sev
eral other colleges. She is undecided
but hopes to use her college education
to work toward her goal of becoming a
doctor.
