Cuesta College Athletics Department is proud to announce this month's selections for the Cuesta Athlete of the Month. This distinct honor recognizes two Cuesta College Athletes each month during the school year who have performed to the highest standards in their sport. Our male selection for May is Sophomore Heptathlete Savannah Shoemaker
Sophomore Heptathlete Savannah Shoemaker enjoyed an outstanding season with Cuesta Women's Track & Field and finished the 2024 campaign with a flourish. The Multi-talented Star finished her career with four Cuesta Top 10 marks, while also posting two 7th place finishes at the State Meet. Shoemaker scored 3,943 points in the Heptathlon, which is just 55 points shy of her career best. Her best events were the Shot Put, 800-meters and Javelin, where she finished 2nd, 2nd and 3rd, respectively. She also did better in the Javelin as an individual and took 7th place in the individual event, while adding 4.5-feet to her previous mark. Shoemaker ends her Cuesta career ranked in 3rd in program history for Heptathlon (3,988 points), behind two former State Champions, 4th in Javelin (126-8), 8th in Long Jump (16-11.25), and 9th in Shot Put (36-1.25). She was also richly rewarded in the 2023-24 Cuesta Athletics Awards Presentation. She was acknowledged as the 2024 Cuesta Women's Track & Field Most Valuable Athlete and was accorded the 2024 Warren Hansen Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award
The Cougars finished 2nd in the Western State Conference and finished 14th at the 2024 CCCAA State Track & Field Championships.
