Karan Vatwani (12) stands with his bike in the St. Louis Rowing Club boathouse Oct. 20 at Creve Coeur Lake in Maryland Heights. Vatwani is a member of the Wheelhouse Racing Team, participating in several triathlons each year that consist of long-distance swimming, cycling and running. He competed at the USA Triathlon Olympic Distance National Championship in Atlantic City, New Jersey in September, which qualified him for the 2025 World Triathlon Championships Finals in Australia. A rower since his freshman year, Vatwani began training for triathlons with his friends over summer break in 2023. “It started out as just kind of something to do for fun,” Vatwani said. “I just decided it’s something I should pick up over the summer when I’m not rowing or biking.”

Ladue students, families and staff gathered at the McKenna Athletic Plaza and track for the 12th Annual ‘Due Run 4 Education, hosted by the Ladue Education Foundation, Saturday, Sept. 21. The ‘Due Run is a 5K and 1 mile run that fundraises the LEF nonprofit organization for their grants and initiatives that help further the academic opportunities for students across the district. Participant registration fees and dozens of corporate sponsors help contribute to an approximate total of $25,000 each year. LEF provided entertainment including a DJ, performances from the Laduettes and cheer team, gift card giveaways and food. Medals were awarded to the fastest runners in age groups. High school students in the National Honor Society chapter volunteered at the event as course monitors, photographers and mascots from each Ladue school. “It was pretty hot in those costumes, I was the [Conway] ram,” Garon Agrawal (12) said. “It got pretty hot, but it was a really fun experience. I loved giving all the kids high fives, and everyone’s really excited to see us mascots.”

Espinosa’s vast collection allows him to create seasonal shoe cycles that work with the rest of his clothing. “At any point I can put on the Clarks [Wallabees] that are a little bit more dressy or I could put on the Jordan 1 sneakers or the Jordan 3 sneakers or the Sambas and they’ll all go together with the outfit,” Espinosa said.
Kick It Up
