Student Profile:
► Allie Fixelle, senior
► The Weber School
Sports have always been a huge part
of Allie Fixelle’s life.
Allie started playing soccer when she
was 4. Even before that, she watched
her brother play.
Volleyball came not long after soccer.
Allie joined junior clubs for both soc
cer and volleyball in elementary school.
She only stopped playing club sports so
she could move on and focus on the var
sity teams representing her high school.
In high school, she picked up her
third team sport. She started play
ing varsity basketball because the team
needed players to fill out its roster.
“I never stuck with one sport, so I
never became amazing at one sport,”
Allie said. “But I have always had a fun
time with my team on and off court. We
have always been very supportive of each
other.”
And she’s done quite well. For her
efforts, she was named as The Weber
School’s Female Athlete of the Year for
2011-12.
Weber Athletic Director David
Moore, who has watched Allie grow,
says she has been able to compete as an
athlete while maintaining her school-
work and social life.
“Allie has handled it like a champi
on, and has struck a great balance in
her life,” he said. “Allie has that rare bal
ance that is hard to find in today’s high
school student. She is a dedicated stu
dent-athlete first, maintaining a very
high grade-point average while main
taining a healthy social life and being a
great player, competitor, teammate and
leader on our courts and fields.”
And along the way, Allie says, she’s
had some fun.
She describes her favorite memories
as the two years she played volleyball
in competitions organized by Maccabi
USA, an organization that builds Jew
ish pride through sports. “It is a week-
long sporting event for Jewish teenagers
all over the world, taking place in a few
cities each year,” she said in an email.
Allie traveled to San Francisco and
Omaha, Neb., with the team represent
ing Atlanta in the competitions, which
included several girls from Allies school.
The best part? The camaraderie among
her teammates. Opponents would com
ment on the chemistry that the Atlan
tans showed on and off the field, she
said, saying, “Look at the Atlanta girls.
They look like they are having so much
fun.”
Apart from sports, Allie is ranked
highly academically. “Sports is a big-
time commitment,” she said, “but I con
tinue to challenge myself in my academ-
• >5
ICS.
Allie says a favorite class is math.
That’s something else she learned in high
school.
“I weirdly started high school hating
math, but my sophomore year teach
er helped me understand it. And once
I understood math, I like a lot better.”
that’s Next:
Allie will attend the University of
Georgia in the fall.
