In partnership with TCOE and the Downtown Visalia Kiwanis, Golden West High School volleyball player Vianka Martinez was celebrated as a fall Pursuing Victory with Honor (PVWH) student-athlete winner.
Her volleyball coach Kayla Swift wrote:
"Vianka Martinez is a student-athlete that exemplifies the
definition of character. On the volleyball court there have been numerous times where
she has displayed the six pillars of character. A true testament was during her team’s
first round of league this season. Golden West was playing Monache in an intense back
and forth set. The score, 23-23. A Monache attacker sent a ball out of bounds. The
Trailblazers now had the game point. For most athletes, they would focus on the next
point and not argue the call. Not for Vianka. She didn’t hesitate to inform the official
that she touched the ball as she blocked at the net. The call was overturned and
Monache received the point. Golden West ended up losing the set, but the fairness that
Vianka exemplified is what was remembered from that night. The opposing coach even
made it a point to recognize her integrity.
