  Sam Simonton, ‘17 Aims for the Olympics

  9/13/2023
  Samantha Simonton, ‘17, better known as Sam, is a world-class competitor and Olympic contender in a sport she helped build at Lakeview.
  
  “I grew up hunting and fishing, but I never really got the whole moving target concept,” wrote Sam by email. “I happened to attend the FFA Wildlife Camp one summer, and that’s when everything clicked. The shooting team started at Lakeview the following year, and it just seemed like it was meant to be.”
  
  Sam played basketball and ran cross country, but the clay target team is where she excelled.  She was the Georgia Independent School Association (GISA) female state champion all four years of high school. 
  
  Mike Lawley, now head of the Lakeview Upper School, was the team’s coach when Sam was a student.  Sam recalls his strong leadership and encouragement, even though he was not an expert in the sport. “He had us doing things together as a team and ultimately made the clay target team an experience I will cherish forever,” said Sam. 
  
  Sam recalls the influence of other Lakeview teachers.
