A little drone team history:
In 2018 the Shoal River Middle School Girls Robotics team, the Mizz Fitz, had just completed their robotics season and an opportunity to join the HSU Foundation Drone Team Challenge had just been given to us. The girls were nervous but went to their first competition having only flown their drone around the classroom a few hours. That first competition in December of 2018 was the beginning of a winning streak that is still going to this day. The Mizz Fitz took home the 1st place Overall Championship at that tournament and have won that honor at every competition they have been to since. When they left Shoal River they desired to continue as a drone team and the OG Mizz Fitz were born. Of the original members Avery Price, Bree Enright, and Aubrey Hudson (CHS students) and Carli Emerzian (Collegiate High School) are still going strong. Approximately 16 tournaments later and they are still a force to be reckoned with. This year Brooklyn Price, Joanna Balbuena, and Kiley Wise freshmen at CHS have joined the team after being the Mizz Fitz middle school team 2020 through 2023. These girls are leaving a legacy of excellence for Crestview and for young women. It has been my honor to watch them grow and succeed in all their endeavors.
