Fontenot graduated from Memorial last month. While with the Titans, she played point guard for the basketball team and ran in the 4×100 and 4×200 relays and ran in the open 200m.

Fontenot earned a trip to regionals in all track events and recently participated in the Southeast Texas Coaches Association all-star game.

On the basketball court, Fontenot helped put an end to the Titans’ playoff drought as one of the only seniors on the squad.
