Alex Gladysiewski

This week’s spotlight is shown upon Ford City senior Alex Gladysiewski. This multi-sport athlete has had his hand in numerous organizations and will continue to use those skills upon graduation this year. Gladysiewski is the captain of the Ford City hockey team and considers his biggest sports accomplishment the state championship the Sabers won in 2009. His fondest sports memory is also with the hockey team when he once scored a breakaway short-handed goal against Kittanning.

Other than hockey, Gladysiewski is also a center fielder and pitcher for the Sabers baseball team, a member of the Ford City golf team, and throws javelin for the track team. His plans for the future are to attend Duquesne University where he’ll major in nursing while continuing to throw javelin for their track team. After graduation, Gladysiewski want his legacy to be remembered as an athlete who was not only able to play many sports, but play them very well.
