Owen Swogger, a soccer athlete from Southeast High School, was chosen as the Shelter Insurance Athlete of the Month for September. Last season Swogger was an honorable mention all-league selection player.
“It is an honor to be chosen,” Swogger said. Swogger has spent the offseason on and off the field working on his skills on defense.
“I go on runs and go to the gym,” Swogger said. “The weakness I wanted to work on was distributing the ball out of the defensive end of the field.” Swogger has been preparing for the competition making sure he’s ready on both sides of the ball. “I want to reduce the amount of turnovers I have and work on my
positioning for players that are faster than me so I don’t get beat out in the back,” Swogger said.
After high school, Swogger hopes to attend college to become an engineer. “I want to go to Butler Community College and then further on go to Wichita State University to be a robotics engineer,” Swogger said.
