STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: HUGO VELASCO
Senior - Westminster High School
Hugo is a standout athlete at Westy. He played soccer in the midfield “10” position. The boys' season was a good one with lots of wins, barely missing playoffs by one place. “We played strong and finished strong.”
Hugo grew up in Denver but moved to California at the age of 7. At the start of his junior year, he moved back and enrolled in Westy where he got started in soccer for the Wolves.
He will graduate this year and is looking to get a scholarship to go to a trade school to become either an electrician or a diesel mechanic.
Good luck, Hugo! Congrats on having a memorable senior year so far!
